Re: Is my dealer trustworthy after today?

That's why I service all my cars myself. Better quality workmanship and a lot cheaper. It doesn't effect your warranty either but that's a whole other story. 
It sucks when you don't feel you can trust them....takedown8 wrote:................
The stupid thing is, the oil change alone would have been $115, but with these additional inspections as part of the "oil service", the price came out to $158. That means I paid $43 for them to not check the tire pressures, to not fill them with air, and to check things that I could have either done myself (tire wear) or had another mechanic probably check for free. This is just so that they can reset my indicator.
Stealers suck! BTW, the service manager told me that Inspection I costs $590. If I make it to 47000km within my warranty period, that'll be worth the trip to Buffalo, that's for sure.
I guess I'm a little on the paranoid side too;
When I had the 1200 mile service done on mine,
I marked the drain plugs on the tranny & diff so that I could tell if they were serviced
(they were)Re: Inspection I... you can get most of that done & signed off by an independent tech.
Not only will you save mega$, you'll know it's done right.
