There is probably $40-$50 in parts and somewhere around an hour of labor, plus the markup on the parts.
Ford dealer has a $29 special running all the time for 5 quarts of Motorcraft Oil and a motorcraft filter, free rotation, and they inspect a checklist of items on the car.
I used to have this service done on my Grand Marquis, and they charged 5 bucks extra because it held 6 quarts.
Fantastic deal, good service.
In my opinion, the dealer should check items on the car for free, and offer you the service of repairing them if they are worn. It is not a paid service to check out a car while it is on a lift. Any decent indy mechanic that you have a good relationship will inspect a car for 25 dollars.
I find the price of cabin filters to be way out of line, and the price of air filters to be insane. For any of my toyota applications, I can find a Denso OEM replacement cabin filter for 10 dollars, or a el cheapo cabin filter for 5 dollars. They do not cost 60 dollars, and they do not require an hour to put them in.
It is not a bash the dealer thread, I have had great service at the ford dealer and they have done a very good job. The toyota dealer I am working with now is an absolute joke.
Too bad I like the Toyota product better than Ford.
Toyota is not a luxury brand, yet they are running a special with rates that are Lexus prices.
With any of their passenger cars, $189 is not a good deal. It is a laugh. The only way it is not overpriced is if you have a luxury Toyota SUV, or a 4wd Truck that requires much more service (labor) to grease zerk fittings, check 4wd components, etc.
