[quote=Anonymous]No, no, no!! Do NOT waste your money by taking your car to the dealer. I used to go to the dealer all the time for service before I met DH. DH's brother works for a car dealer, so I've learned quite a bit. Apparently, the profit margins on selling cars have gone down (due to people being able to get pricing info on the internet). So, dealers make their money in the service department, and by selling you extended warranties. As an adult, I've always kept track of my expenses, and when I compare what I used to pay for regular service (oil change/tire rotation) going to the dealer, versus what I pay now using a mechanic, the difference is RIDICULOUS. Even with the 'coupons', trust me, you're being hosed. Find a reputable mechanic. A PP mentioned Car Talk, and I've found good mechanics using that site. www.cartalk.com [/quote]
