Used to do all the work myself, but due to moving back into a rental the last couple years I've been bringing it to the dealer for oil changes. I've been happy with them. Price for oil, tire rotation, car wash, vacuuming was between $55 & $65 depending on coupons. Now they raised it to $95!!! LOL Or, you can buy some prepaid maintenance things from Toyota for $280 that gives you 5 oil changes. But you have to use within 2 years. Service advisor said expenses went up, labor and oil prices. I asked how much more a barrel of oil was today than 5-10 years ago. Crickets chirped. Then I asked if costs went up why I could buy 5 for less than their regular price used to be. No real answer. So I called around. Local shop with good reviews does the same oil change for $55.
Are these prepaid maintenance things popular? Anyone use them? I just feel like an actuary created them and they're profitable.
