Seriously, learning to do your own car work saves you a lot of headaches. This forum is REALLY good about posting up DIY's and howto's and answering questions.

Stealerships survive by screwing you out of your money and not giving a crap about your econocar. It's a fact of life.

 

DUDE!....Our cars dont need a "dealership service" for 100,000 miles!!!...If you take in and pay that Outrageous price for stuff you can do yourself you are an Idiot!!!

Then do your own Oil Change as needed!

 

TRUST ME!!!

I've saved over $100 bucks so far doing my own oil changes. Its SO easy.

Floor jack $30.00s unless you're lowered; you need low profile floor jack which you can buy basic compact size one from Sears for $40.00. Jack stands if you're into safety too another $20.00s. I personally don't go underneath so I only use the floor jack. A wrench with 12mm nut. Piece of cardboard. Oil drain pan another $5-10s. Channel-locks or good oil filter wrench. New four quarts of oil. Oil filter I like using K&N due to the wrench nut makes it easy for the next change.

I do my own sythentic oil changes for $36.00s! At dealer, I was paying about $70.00 not including the 60k, 80k maintainence bullsh!t work for additional $200 bucks. That my a$$ got sucker in. Another thing...I caught my dealership not doing a sythentic oil change but yet they charged me. My MPG was **** and I needed to add in oil sooner than normal.

If a girl who did take automotive in high school but never learned how to do OCs can do it...so can you.

 

^ I plan on doing my own. I just figured since I have couple free oil changes I might as well use them... 2nd one coming up this week, hope nothing happens this time

 

I thought of idea...sort of the same concept as Lojack. That told on the dealer service if they did half a$$ work or they did something they shouldn't have.

I see if my engineer uncle and his invention idea smart friend can come up with blue prints.
