Service every 6 mths?

I bought my fl2 6 mths ago. just got a letter asking me to book in my first service.
I call trivett sydney where I got the car from. the guy said I need to service the car every 6mths or 12,000km which ever come first. he said it will cost approx AUD600 for the 1st one.

ha? every 6mths? I check Land Rover site all over the world and all said every 12mths.
trivett sydney explain that is australia schedule for all new landrovers, not just freelander2.

what you guys think?

I think $600 is a rip off. What exactly will they be doing? Oil, Filter and what else??

I had my 6mth 12k service today and it cost $328 and came with a loan FL2 i6 SE. Me thinks your gettin ripped off by your dealer.

It would be a bad idea to skip this service because your oil should be changed after 6 months espically the first 6 months.

Just pick up the car from Trivett Sydney.

the service cost AUD633.30.

Service 12,000km/6mths ---> $325
Oil filter I6, washer, washer additive ---> $35.41
Mobil 1 oil, sundries, waste oil disposal levy, oil top up ---> $215.31
GST $57.57
Total $633.30

also checked loan car, $66 per day.

only 8050km on the clock and I reckon it is way too expensive. My 3 series service cost a lot less.
I will definitly call around before I book in my 2nd service.

Yikes! how do they get off charging nearly twice as much as up here?

I know the cost of living in Sydney in high comparede to Brisbane but not that bad!
