Is it april 1st, cause this has got to be a joke.

 

that's great man...i also got my pads changed at the dealer for free...the car had 15000 miles when they did it...

 

This was in Charlotte, NC

no im serious i was there for like 5mins, took my vin, mileage asked what was wrong, i told him that the CD player doesnt work and he said ok anything else? I told him about that other stuff and he took care of it. He took picutres and then i sat there and watched him Email all the Pictures to the factory and then i was like ok. I'll call u when the parts get here. I was like D@mn! ive heard people get the RUN around for the brakes and he didnt even ask one question or anything. He was ok i gotta take picture and send them in. 6clicks later he was done and i was OUT.

 

thats were they are going to make all their money haha, i took mine in and they told me it would be 900 dollars to change the brake pads front a rear. 500 for parts and 400 for labor... i kinda chuckled. i then proceeded to order some hawk HPS front and rear, 160 dollars and 35 minutes later i had fresh pads on.

 

Labor is free cuz they are swapping out the cailpers under warranty. He just told me to buy pads and they would just install them while they were out!

 

well when it all gets said and done and everything is on the car will be the time to report back to us. It still has to be approved, just because the service manager said we will report it doesn't mean that you will get all that stuff taken care of. keep in contact with them and keep us posted.

 

Seems like the only thing they forgot was a hot bath and a BJ

 

I have a 2005 RS. The last time I took it in for an oil change I was charged $80... I was told by two dealers that as long as I have records regular of Mobil 1 oil changes, my warranty would hold (I'll have Mitsu oil filters and Mobil 1 oil changes at my local oil changer).

Has any body gone this route with 3rd party oil changes?

Thanks.

 

yeah myself

 

U shouldnt believe everything the dealer tells you.

 

Just do it yourself, it's easy and alot cheaper.

 

Yep I run mitsi filters with royal purple synthetic and change it every 3000 miles. guys at the dealership says as long as I have proof then it is ok. Now runniing something else may cause some warranty problems. Plus the dealership is so freaking expensive.

 

My guess would be do it your self save $40+ save your receipt take photos or a video of you doing the oil changes, and keep them for records. LOL

 

Just DIY. That's what I've been doing for years with all my rides. Mitsu oil filter and Mobil 1. Just keep your receipts and record your mileage at each oil change.

 

definetely stick with mitsu filters and replace ur crush washer everytime 2 4 the oil plug
