$130 on special at the moment for a base service with checks of lights brakes and bits. Included is a wash but when this is normal price then the $160 odd is a very expensive wash as I can get a basic service for $89 at Bridgestone and a $25 wash and vacuum down the road. Look, I love NRMA and these guys take the time to go THOROUGLY through the places in your car that many mechanics pass by. What I do not like is the constant coming at you to tell you your windscreen wipers need replacing for $25 a pop and the back rear light bulb for $10 each needs doing. I get the bulbs done for $4.50 elsewhere and new wipers at Repco this month for under $10 and put them on myself. Yes I have the time to do these things and others might not care to do them but this business is about servicing the community in a way that speaks integrity first and I pity some vulnerable people who say yes to the things that are NOT as necesary or as expensive as NRMA charge. Comparison is always the way to keep a car on the road and having two mechanics keeping watch gives you a better vantage point on what is going on with your vehicle in my opinion. I get told how much brake pad time is left on my pads, how the tyres are aligned, whether the car is using dripping oil or if the pipes at all ends are wearing. All good but all at once if they are needing some care is a bit much. I like a progressive not so all expensive at one time approach. It is usually up to 3 hrs, sometimes two hours depending on how early you go to this place in waiting for a basic service. Friendly but business like and you can see your car as you wait in their waiting room doing your done thing. ie' mags or computer stuff

I had an oil leaking and sent my car for repair, only one day after they fixed the leak, the car started to leak oil. I went back to them, they told me there was a leak somewhere else and they could not not fix it but had to send it to somewhere else to fix, I demanded full refund but they refused. It is so unprofessional and unethical workshop, stay away from it.
