So what did we learn today? For 1300$, you could invest some of your own time, get a few tools and do most of what they did for 1/4 the cost or less. YouTube is your friend and the ratchet will guide you

You do not have to get the maintenance done at the dealer.

I worked at a dealership that did this, if you came in for a 60k service they would automatically recommend “additional service recommendations” like efi injector service, alignment, ac refresh service, etc. Would be good for us, makes for an easy 6 or so hours, depending on the car. But honestly, a lot of it was fluff. Only additional recommendations I agreed with were the 60k transmission service and the differential service, both are important fluid services that people forget. I now work at a Lexus dealership and it is strictly by the book for recommendations, no fluff.

Yup, worked at a dealer back in the mid 00’s we did that to everyone. Sorry bro.

Bro you can say no

First time at the dealership eh? Lol.

It’s ok. It all happens to us once in our lives (not me though, my dad was a mechanic)

Well are you going to tell us everything they did or is that too much 4 u to type

This is the reason I bought a model y 4 years ago. My wife had a Mazda c3 I think, made the appointment online, $350 confirmed. After 30 min of arguing over extras and picking up the car to a $600 total I sold the car and got a Tesla. No service in 4 years except tires.

Ok…… what did you have them do?

Unless you have a warranty never go back to the dealership find a reputable mechanic

I had a service advisor tell me he pays his techs extra for the recommendations they put on the tickets. I do not trust that dealership.

What did they do to yours? How many miles? Maybe it’s not as bad as you think.

Without actually telling us what you paid for, we have no way of telling if it was fair or not.

My toyota dealer once told me I needed a rear diff fluid change, I looked at the service writer and explained my suv was not AWD and their was no rear dif… However on another occasion they swapped my plugs and misquoted the price because I have a 6 cyl and not a 4cyl, they did not charge extra because of their quote ,

We bought our Prius new in 2018 top of the line touring we drive very little we took it in at 24,000 mile the drivers side dash vent stopped working we we out of the factory warranty but had the extended warranty they took it in called and said we fixed it charged me $280.00 they fixed but said it was not covered we took it in at 30,000 mile service told me we need the break flued changed and injectors cleaned they wanted $350.00 I said no now at 34,000 mile my dah vent went out my extended warranty is up they want $2500.00 to replace a servo that is a known problem in many Toyota cars and truck even the Lexus brand so bad they keep them in stock

Did you get an itemized bill? You know you can say no right?
