I just paid our local Hyundai dealer $99.00 for three conventional oil changes, three tire rotations, and the car washes that go along with it. The dealer bulk oil is Mobil. This is for the new Hyundai Santa Fe XL I bought my wife.

Unlike others-I have never had a bad dealer experience with any dealer I have used. That includes my local Chevrolet and GMC dealers.


I AM NOT crawling under my car when a dealer can do it for $33.00.

Amen.

I guess some dealers read BITOG????
My local multi dealer ( Chevy,Dodge, Ram, Mitsu, etc.) is offering various oil change specials with several choices in oil.
I do my own but they offer PUP with a factory filter and tire rotations 6 times for $350.
Of course they offer the same very cheaply with regular oil.......... Interesting (under $200)

I don't want the dealer's "car wash" adding to my paint woes. With a long life Fram UG, I only need to get under my car every other oil change to change the filter. The times in between it takes 30 seconds to removed the oil pan plug. And once the oil is out, 30 more seconds to put it back in. And piece of mind that a dealer or quick lube shop won't "gorilla" the threads on the plug or filter. If I was 100% sure the dealer would do everything like I would....I'd give them the $33 for OCI, wash, and tire rotation.

Well even at 73 years old I'm not lazy enough yet to take them up on that offer. My local tire shop that mounted my tires gave me free rotation and I do my own OCI's every six months with quality full synthetic oil and a premium Ultra Fram or Purolator one filter for under $30 aren't sales and rebates great. Its easier than my workout at the gym was this morning!

Who knows what nozzle the tech actually grabs when filling it up with oil.

I'll stick to changing my own within 15 minutes for about $11 in supplies, rather than waiting for an hour for them to do it for $58.

For $33 you aren't going to get full synthetic trust me!

CKN take some Lorazepam and chill

You are just too cool to get under your car. Come on out and just say that I am joking with you by the way.

I am glad that you have had good dealership we experiences. I had one that was not. The local GM dealership tried to tell my lady that a simple water pump repair was going to be $700. Garbage. Plus these mental midgets had the audacity to say so much was "wrong" with her car. Garbage. Took the car elsewhere for not even half that stupid price those idiots quoted. Ohh and that Pontiac Sunfire ran perfectly for the next 6 yes with no problems. We sold it to a young fella and it still ran on the road as of last year.
