[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]

Are you seriously asking this question?  Do you think dealers only service cars that they sell? Or that the dealership is the only place to go for routine maintenance?

Are you the person from the other thread who thought insurance pays for a rental car any time your car is being repaired?

DCUM is sure full of dumb well-educated people. [/quote]

I bought my car in March and have been pleasantly surprised by how non-awful the service has been for things under warranty... but the couple times I went in I was SHOCKED at how many people are there waiting. Do people REALLY go to the dealer for routine non-warranty maintenance? Why?[/quote]
When my car was under warranty, I took my car to the dealer for all oil changes, tire rotations, air filter changes and battery replacements. For those things that I have mentioned, the prices were surprisingly competitive with other local garages. The water pump went bad on my Ford Explorer when it was out of full warranty and Powertrain warranty. I was quoted between $1600 to $2100 by local garages for repairs due to it being an internal water pump. The Ford dealership replaced it for $1300 and change due to some sort of assistance program. I'm sure that the fact that they had a full service history of my car was the reason I qualified for a break in the price.[/quote]
