Vehicle Check service costs?

I'm booked in November to finally get that recall battery cable replaced and of course the vehicle check thing has just lit up. I could get the dealer to do it at the time OR pop to Advan prior.

Anyone know what the rough cost is? I've always had it done as part of other servicing so it's never come up separately.

Thanks

Byron

Inspection is around $190. Go to Advan and just get it reset
I was charged almost $300 for a vehicle check. Never again. Just reset it yourself.

'vehicle check' is the biggest rip.

Don't pay to get it done... Byron, would be happy to reset the light for you if you need it done.

You should be able to reset it via this method very easily.

I did a "vehicle check" at 30kkm, $150, they didn't do anything. It's just a matter of do you want that stamp in your service log...

After some messing about and having to start the car, I managed to reset it following the vague internet instructions!!!

Thanks everyone!
