Does the dealer have a website where you can order maintenance online? I was shocked to learn that the nearest Honda dealership to me let me schedule an appointment online for a specific thing (oil and filter change) and they did it for $49.99 and no BS. Of course, I think it helps that my truck is absolutely filthy so they don't want to do more with it.Today I dropped my truck off at a a new dealer for an oil change and fuel filter for 400 bucks. I want to do it myself but don't want any issue if I need to use my warranty down the road. I'm tired of dealers up selling and insisting my trucks need all sorts of maintenance for thousands of dollars every time I go in. This truck only has 25k on it so let's see what this dealer says I need. I already am not happy with them, I asked why is it my fuel filters are 190 bucks at the dealer and only 30 from napa? He just kept saying I don't want to run that junk in my truck. I really think every dealership are crooks.
I wonder if you can bring your own filters and tell them "This is what I want in my truck".
Maybe they just look at you and think you have a ton of $ for them to siphon from you. I dunno. But it sucks that they do that to you.
We used to get overcharged for stuff on our Ford Expedition all the time. I guess the Ridgeline and CR-V don't scream "I can afford BS charges".
