Lambo dealer is quoting me $9400 AUD (~ $7000 USD) for my 6th service on a 2015 LP610-4 - anyone else had their 6 year service done? Am I getting ripped off big time?

Is this simply routine service? If so I would like to know the answer to your question as well that sounds terribly high.

I sent a text to two dealership and waiting on their responses but the problem is they are not always that responsive or responsive in a timely manner.

Well, what does difference would six makes make?
What is the mileage service?

Really need an itemized list....parts & labor.

FWIW
At six years I could see spark plugs and radiator coolant changes, even if miles are low.
Sometimes grease hardens over time, so replace/ repack wheel bearing etc.
And a full inspection of all the rubber suspension and chassis bushings and mounts.
$7000 US is not inexpensive.

I truly hope you are not getting ripped off big time.

Dealership responded and said 4K. Hope that helps.

Here is the dealership run down on the required service verbatim:

6th year service is a Major Service

• Replace air filter
• inspect injection and ignition systems — Fuel pipes and electrical components
• inspect cooling system — engine coolant level
• Change Condenser every 2 years regardless of KM’s
• Replace Spark Plugs
• Replace engine oil and filter
• inspect/replace Poly V belt and Belt tensioner

6year service pending nothing else needed ~$4000 USD

Lots of "inspect" included for that price.

I am sure if you cut many of those inspect services out you can cut the price down to $3999 but that's just a WAG. There's inspection than there is Lamborghini inspection and there is a world of difference.

Inspect is the cheap part of "inspect/replace", if replace is needed does that increase the cost?

Good question I will ask but I think the 4K pricing is with replacement of the "Poly V belt and Belt tensioner". More to follow............

 

[Lambo2018]

@Blu Bull, the dealership just responded and the pricing does include the replacement of the Poly V belt and Belt tensioner.

Why would you bother? It is surely out of warranty after 6 years? I would get them to just change the fluids and not take up this major service IMO

 

[Blu Bull]

Also why even bring to dealership? I'm sure you could find an independent shop to do the work for much less

I was going to suggest this too. Once its out of warranty save your money and find a good shop. It wont hurt resale if its maintained correctly and is in good condition

Here is the pricing from another dealership; apparently the charcoal canister needs to be changed either in the 5th or 6th year depending upon the 10th character of the VIN# (see attached), that is, if the 10th character of the VIN# is an G it's changed this year if it's an F it should have been changed last year.......the F or G relates to the production date:

6th Year Service

Mileage? If 20k or higher the spark plugs would be replaced if original.

Engine oil and filter annually regardless of mileage.
Engine coolant and brake fluid every 2 years regardless of mileage.
Transmission oil and filter every 3 years regardless of mileage.

Engine Air filters, interior cabin filter, and spark plugs every 2 years. Or as necessary. (Spark plugs 20k miles)
(Air filters and cabin filters are removed and inspected) replace as necessary.

Charcoal Canister every 5 years regardless of mileage. (Important!!!!)

Fluids only: $3025
All operations: $4950

Charcoal Canister: $645

Why is the charcoal canister so important to replace even if the car has low miles?

I would talk with your service advisor regarding the need to change it or not. The recommendation above is from the Austin service manager. When I get close to the 5/6 year mark I intend to research that further.

Addendum: I posed your question to the service manager and I will post his response.
