Yes. Or go in and say, "I want these items done" instead of asking for the "XX,XXX miles service package." "We checked the fuel cap to make sure it still clicked" isn't always worth the extra package price. Or, ask what the package includes that's necessary. Our local dealer seems reasonably honest. Or at least as honest as a couple of independent shops I've gone to.
Yeah, our dealer wasn't quite charging California prices, but I still don't want a Service A, B, C, D etc for $1k+
I let them know they weren't really doing all the stuff they listed on the oil change "service A" I had been getting anyways, as I had to clean and coat the fuzzy battery terminals myself after looking at them after about the 5th oil change... So after a bit of discussion/negotiation with the service advisor about not getting a "service", and just doing the work and charging the time it took, I had the plugs done, CVT fluid, brake fluid changed, and diffs done for ~$900. Not great, but better than getting those done in a couple separate "services" of over $1k each, like they had planned out for you...
Also looking back through the receipts, its interesting that I was originally quoted $650 to replace the rear rotors and pads at 60k km as they "weren't worth servicing" and then when I did get them replaced at 100k it was $450....
I think they were trying to charge "what the market would bear" and realized their market was going to shrink by one soon with getting too greedy on the pricing...
I think with Subarus in particular, getting the CVT done at a dealer is a good idea to keep your extended warranty and they will presumably use the right fluid, but the rest of the car isn't complicated and any competent independent shop, or yourself, can do the rest, if the dealer is stuck on the "service package" pricing.
