Ha... don't forget that you asked...

I think its stupid to have a dealership replace your wipers. I think its more stupid not to inquire about the price to change those wipers. I think its even more stupid than that to then come on the internet and complain about the stupid thing you just did... like its the DEALERS fault.

My wife's car purchase includes lifetime oil changes, tire rotation, etc. At her last oil change they said her air filter needed replaced at $68, cabin filter at $40 +/-, brake fluid at $99 (that was their SPECIAL), etc etc.

I know an air filter costs about $8... declined that cause I ain't that stupid. Bought my own filter and replaced it for $60 savings.
The cabin filter isn't a necessity and her HVAC has sufficient air flow and wasn't restrictive... declined that cause I ain't that stupid.
Brake fluid was less then 15K miles old (changed it myself) and I could tell that they hadn't even taken the cap of the master cylinder to check it... declined cause I ain't that stupid.

I've listened to them explaining to people all the maintenance that NEEDS to be done and wanted to laugh out loud. I had a service advisor tell my wife that her car NEEDED a fuel injector cleaner for about $100. I asked the guy to please show me where it the manual Toyota recommends this service and at what mileage. Obviously he couldn't because it was a PURE PROFIT upsell item they are told to push. The service advisor didn't realize that I was sitting with my daughter while my wife went to the counter... must have figured she looked dumb enough to agree to something like that.

A fool and his money are easily separated...
