I'm scheduled for my first maintenance visit for my lancer and when i called my dealers service dept. they said it would be 30$ for the oil change or 69$ for full service maintenance...My question is what does the 69$ service entail....and have any one of you fellow lancer owners gone through with this..Please let me know, I would appreciate any input

 

Eh...that's ridiculous. Mine was free. I seem to remember seeing Ramsey auto group license plate frames on your car too. Glad I didn't get mine there. (The salesperson I had was a moron). I dunno why they're charging for your first maintenance.

 

Actually I had such a bad experience with the Ramsey Auto Group that I'm not taking my car for service there. I'm taking it to Bell Mitsu. in Rahway. I called Ramsey after I shceduled the appointment with Bell...just to see if they would charge me, and they pretty much gave me the same estimates...
What dealer did you use?????

 

yep free here too... in fact my dealership gave me this like coupon book full of discount things and free stuff. Sorry to hear you got caught up with the wrong dealership. Good luck to you.

 

Salerno-Duane Mitsubishi on Communipaw Ave in Jersey City. Not the greatest neighborhood, but a friendly dealership as far as my experiences went. Their service department is separate from the dealership.

I've never had such a horrible time with any other car company. I've owned a Toyota a BMW a Nissan and My Infiniti, and I have never had such a horrible experience. I know that it may not be a reflection of Mitsubishi as a whole but it has really turned me off to the car company. I can't see myself ever buying a Mitsubishi again.

 

Speaking of maintenance. In your opinion, what is the best kind of oil to put in our Lancers?

 

Well since Mitsu is charging me 30$ for an oil change That better be some pretty good oil...it must have gold in it or something for 30 bucks!!!

 

The black slippery kind that lubricates engine parts? Oh...wait...you mean viscosity wise and what not...

10W-30 full synthetic...it's expensive but man is it nice. 5W-30 if you live where it gets really chilly.

 

this will be my last post here....Me and my wife have decided tonite to get rid of this lancer....we will pay it off and purchase another car....we have had it.....Like I have said before and will say again..Mitsubishi has no Idea what CONDITIONS OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION are all about...I cannot get into what happend while talking with a rep from mitsu. because it would take up too much time...all I can say is Goodbye mitsubishi.....

 

This is my second mitsu and I have not had the same service problems you speak of. oil changes have always been around 30 dollars. I paid 37.45 for my first oil change. I bought the premium one. Prices have gone up slightly since I had the Mirage but if you want a car to last you have to maintain it no matter what vehicle it is. You have to get to know the service people I guess by regular maintenance.

Sorry you feel that way but goodluck with your new car.

i have my oil changes and maintence for free...sorry about your luck

 

My extended warranty came with free oil changes.. but who knows if they even do it?? Or do it right?

 

You bought what extended warranty?

I paid for the 5/year 60,000 mile one.
I have to check into that.

Sorry to hear it. Aside from waiting forever for the distributor I've had nothing really unpleasant. Good luck with...whatever you get. I hear Civics are nice cars.
