So my dealer offers "free" oil changes as long as all the other work is done there, by the manual. So at 6 months, because I don't hit the mileage, I got my free oil change. Now I'm due for my 12 month service, which is another oil change and both fuel filters. They want $330 to do the fuel filters and rotate and they pick up the oil change again.
They way I see it, it'll take the 18 month oil change for me to beak even, having had three free oil changes done by then and spent around $300.
Will I save that much doing it myself going forward? Does this sound like a decent service plan. I know they're ripping me on the filters. Just trying to factor it all in.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
That's true, but you can get close. Local Chevy dealers charge $39.95 for oil and filter change and tire rotation (and reset sensors) on the wife's Chevy Traverse which uses Dexos spec oil as all the newer Chevys do. 5 quarts of Dexos oil (which is a semi-synthetic standard) and AC Delco Filter? I can buy the materials for $39.95 so I let them do it.
