Scheduled an Oil Change at the Dealership...

[noelskii]

I dropped off my car for an oil change at the dealer today...Before I even leave the place with a loaner, they tried to make me get an alignment, and I said, "no, not right now - since i'm gonna get new tires soon..."

So I get to school and I get a phone call saying that I wasn't due for an oil change yet, so they were not going to do it.. I told them while I was there that I do my oil changes every 5k... They totally disregarded what I said and asked me if they could do a "check up" instead. I didn't want to be bothered so I said, "fine..."

They found a leak around the oil filter housing seal (parts are $201.94 labor $690.88 tax 65.85 totaling $958.67) and they think my rear tires need to be changed (I checked it and it was at around 6/32" tread left..)

This "leak" was my main concern...Anybody ever had to change the oil filter housing? I did a quick search and most people fixed it just by changing the $20 gasket...

At the end of the day, I pretty much paid $115 for the checkup and no oil change...SMH!

Also, one of the reasons why I actually went to the dealer for an oil change was because I knew they would do a "checkup" anyway.. And it is usually around $80 for an oil change at the dealers which probably cost just as much as doing it myself..
