[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, I bought 2 last year using Costco. Super straightforward and simple. [/quote]If you did not buy from a new car dealer, where do you go for routine car maintenance? [/quote]

Unless it's covered by maintenance I would NEVER take my car to the dealership for any kind of service. In addition to being extremely over-priced, they're usually dishonest and while there are some good techs, a lot are kind of bottom of the barrel. Find a good independent mechanic. If a dealer ever quotes you something more than $400, take it to a well-rated local mechanic and see what he thinks...[/quote]

Thats what used to think...yes they are expensive but at least they are not using $5 oil filters and the wrong oil.  They are forced to use the right parts.  The labor is portion is sketchy...I agree [/quote]

A reputable mechanic can use the right product. My mechanic has a personal relationship with me - he has a lot of motivation to make me feel like I’m being taken care of … he shows me what he did, be explains his charge, he admits when he can’t keep the costs down…

180 from the dealer[/quote]
