Default Re: newbie with a blown fuse and question about milage

The oil change at my Honda dealer is $35. When I went in for my 30k service, they told me it would cost $395 I had a fit right there. The only "parts" were the oil, air filter (which I had just changed), oil filter, and cabin filter. Everything else was to "inspect".
Yeah, right.

I asked how much the air filter was. They said $65, installed. Huh? For a $12 part? Oh, but that includes LABOR. Four clips, remove filter, install filter close clips. It took me longer to type it. The pollen filter was $110, installed. Huh? For an $18 part? Oh, but that includes LABOR. Remove glove box, open filter door, remove filters from car, remove filters from frame, and reverse the process. Again, it took me longer to type it.

I won't go back.

I bought my own oil (Mobil 1 0w20). Oil filter. I have ramps so I can remove the undercarriage panel.

They even put the wrong milage in the receipt! They are hounding me for a 30K service again. Sheesh.

I won't even write about the scheduling nightmare.
