I went into the dealership for the 40k mile service which involved some fluid changes, tire rotation and brake wear test. I walked out of there $1300 poorer, after they nickel and dimed me for a bunch of other things that came up during the inspection. I even turned down some of the “suggested services.” I won’t be going back there again. Anyone else get this treatment?

    at 30000 mi, rear differential, front differential, and transfer case fluid should be replaced. On some of the vehicles. It actually says to do it every 15,000 miles.

    i would like to know the % of people that follow through with that every 15k.

      Aaaand this is why it sucks to buy used cars. Diffs and transmissions do go bad. In fact I’d wager their early, avoidable death is why most most cars end up junked anyways when chances are everything else works fine. All because manufacturers and dealers sell this trap that they rarely need to be replaced and people fall for it.
