A Good Experience at the dealer...for a change!

[Rwecked]

In the light of all the negative posts and threads about dealers, I want to share my good experience.

Now, it was my first visit to the dealer since I bought the car. I took it in for it's first FREE oil change. I realize this is not uncommon. I also asked for an alignment due to my car being lowered a few weeks ago. I figured I'd pay the $100 and be done with it.

About two hours later, I got a call saying my car was ready. The bill? $29! I look at it...turns out, he charged me for the oil change and not the alignment. I asked if it was right and he said yes. I couldn't complain too much, after all , he saved me $70.

Let's hope this is the start of a beautiful relationship.

Damn...I would have OWN3D that bitch for that.:mad:


I take off all the covers under my hood, Just because of dumbasses at the Dealership.

Last time I was there to get a oil change, they spilled oil all over the axel,Xbrace, and the exhaust piping. When I was driving home all I could smell was burnt oil.:'(

I had my 30k done this weekend, came to $202.60. Not too bad I guess. My dealer does a good job of treating the customer right, I feel like they have great service.

... am i odd for changing my own oil? I mean even though it's free it's only ten bucks for 4 qts of Mobil oil and filter. I dunno, I'd rather pay the ten and know I did it right.

i go to my dealer for everything...i used to go to Hardin Honda in Anaheim, CA their free oil change plan is shitty...plus they spilled oil once all over the bottom of my chassis...fucking idiots. i do all my service at honda cars of corona now

it's funny about dealers, either i've had good luck with sales and crappy luck w/service or the other way round. i got my si for a great price and very little hassel, but when i took it in for the 10k service they told me it would be $120. i asked why since according to the book it's an oil change and tire rotation - they told me they had to "lube" the brakes "wtf does that mean" i replied (before i could stop myself). the service writer looked like i shot his dog and then proceded not to tell me what "lube the brakes" meant. i told them to change the oil (synth which i supplied) and rotate the tires since there was 4" of snow on the ground. cost me $42, i couldn't believe it...

I get coupons in the mail for 10% scheduled maintenance. You might want to check into it so you can save some $.
