Default Re: Service Scams

Thanks, do you know if they do update maps for Australasia ?

Dash, of course euro buyers go into it with their eyes open but $1,000 to update a GPS map, (software only) or an hour's labour, (at M Benz hourly rate), to take a vehicle next door is just price gouging.

I agree with others, if mine was a big corporate account or a really wealthy businessman, there's every chance the owner would just walk in and say, oh by the way please update the GPS system and orgainise those tyres for me.

In the pre GFC days when I ordered this car and timnes were booming there may have been some room for this sort of excess, but I for one expect business owners to treat their customers more fairly than this. I'll be re-thinking where I get that car serviced in the future. Today's encounter has been quite an eye-opener.
