WTF do they get this prices?

Quote:

MINIMUM SERVICE TOTAL: $537.94
and that's mainly just inspection!!!!!!!!!! what if they have to fix/replace/etc. those? that's additional!

i'm like. "OK, Thank you and have a nice day!"

plus, i don't need to get this done:
-rotate tires, inspect wear and adjust pressure(i have this service at discount tire for 3 years for free).
-inspect front and rear brakes(i can do this myself)
-replace air cleaner element (if this is the intake filter, i'm already planning on replacing/cleaning it)
-inspect all fluid levels and conditions of fluids (i do this everytime)
-inspect cooling and heating system hoses and connections(mine's still good cuz i got new ones when i had that accident)
-inspect exhaust, fuel pipes, hoses and connections(exhaust is good same with the pipes)
-inspect lights and controls, vehicle underbody(i have HIDs, thank you)
-replace brake fluid(got that done a couple of months ago)

99% of that stuff, you can do yourself. At 90K, the only thing I would ask the dealer to do is replace the drive belt, inspect timing chain, tensioner and guides and replace if necessary. Fluids, you probably can do yourself as well.

Yeah, and you can pay that shit and drive away wondering just how MANY of the "inspect" things they did. That's just fucking robbery.

When I was working for the dealer as a tech, we did do the inspection. The inspections, the tech gets paid shit for it (somewhere along the lines of .1 hours). It probably takes us an all of 5 minutes to do.
