In light of my gouging 1st service charge today, I though I'd do a post.
It was the 1,000km service on my KTM 1190 Adv R for a grand total of $535. The most ridiculous charge was the $55 decontamination charge.
But really it was a wash, before they take it into their apparently intrinsically clean workshop :roll eyes: The bike was literally ridden though a couple of puddles not through mud with chunks hanging off it.
At Pre Delivery the dealer I bought the bike from put in a Unifilter air filter and prefilters. But my local dealer that did the service said they don't check these at first service because well...it's a first service. But they actually did and I got a call saying the prefilters were starting to perish. I said to claim warranty, it's a new bike after all, but no they wouldn't so I paid for them plus extra labour because I called back 10 mins later after chatting to the dealer I bought the bike from, before I gave the go ahead and they said the bike was all back together. But I didn't get a call Tues arvo to say my bike was ready but 24hrs later (yesterday) so I don't think it was back together at all!!
So what's the most ridiculous charge you've ever had when you've had your bike or car serviced?
