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?
Don’t the service “advisors” get paid on comission, same as salespeople?
It’s a mixed bag. I’ve had some be honest and others wanted me to blow my bank on BS.
When my civic was getting up there (ten years old, 100k miles, etc) they really amped it up with the BS. I just did oil/filter changes at local garages instead, and got another 6 years out of it.
