Check Lube Honda Accord - 2004 -30,000 mile check up cost me 642.00 Where can I go and get a better price & quality????
Went into my dealership for a 30,000 mile check up and they told me it would be 299. Which I think is high. As I was waiting they came out and told me that my front wheel drive car needed new rear wheel brakes. That cost 265. By the time I left my total bill was 642. I am thinking about taking it every 5,000 (they recommend 3,000) miles to Goodyear for my oil and lube change - I am not a car guy and feel ripped off. Can a car guy give me some options where I can save money but not lose the quality.
I am not a car guy, but my husband is an ASE certified mechanic and licensed smog tech. You were ripped off. Your first mistake was taking it to the dealer -you will ALWAYS pay more - WAY more. I am assuming you took it to the dealer because it is still under warranty. If it is under warranty, check with the company that you have the warranty with (some warranties have stipulations about where you can take your vehicle for repairs, so make sure you don't take it to an unauthorized shop - you don't want to void your warranty) and see if you can take it elsewhere, like an independent garage or mechanic. If your car is NOT under warranty, then consider taking it to an independent garage or mechanic in the future. Another option (if your car IS under warranty) is if you know someone (a friend or friend of a friend) that is an ASE certified mechanic, you may be able to take your vehicle to that mechanic and have him do the work (which will probably be cheaper than the dealership) and not void your warranty. But again, check with your warranty company for approval first. The dealership we bought my Mitsubishi Spyder from will allow my husband to work on the vehicle himself without voiding the warranty. Best of luck to you.
