$220 Smart Of Cary NC

I was told $240 in Fairfield, CT. They said $144 for everything except the oil change. I had the oil changed at 5,000 miles, so it doesn't need an oil change until 15,000 miles. Besides, my local Midas did the last oil change with Mobil 1 Synthetic and filter for $39. So why pay $96 for an oil change at the dealer. I also reset the service wrench myself. It took me less than a minute. You are right, this car looks easy to change the oil. I might do it the next time.

I got my brakes checked by the dealer at around 9,000 miles because the rear were squeaking, so I don't need them checked out again. Plus my oil was changed 5k miles ago. I reset the wrench light myself.

Is the only other thing left to this service maintenance a simple cabin filter that you are talking about with charcoal? Or is there something more to it, because my dealer wants to charge me $144 to do the service (which doesn't include the oil change since I just had that done...it's $240 here with the oil change).

So is all I need to do is get an air filter for the cabin to complete the 10k service? (which seems kinda unnecessary to change a cabin air filter at 10k miles)

Oil and Filter Change, Check
Quick Inspection of breaks, Check
Cabin Filter replacement, Nope - Got an upgrade.
THis was news to me, the original was just a paper filter. The new Cabin filter was a much better with Charcoal. THe showed me the difference while he was changing it and it was a much beefyer filter.

Also got my 2.0 upgrade including new Battery.

+ the time I was able to pick his brain about other things was great.

Would I pay close to $300 for this service? Most Likely not.

Hamp, see my post from above:
10k Service Cost?

All things being equal (distance to dealers and if scSEA is also at $100 cost) you'll save yourself the 9.3% WA sales tax by going to scPDX in no-sales-tax OR.

$141.77 for 10,000 mile service at Smart Center Easton today. I had replaced the air filter myself, due to an unpleasant experience with skunk residue.

Couldn't be happier.

I paid $26 because I do my own oil and air filter changes. The service department updated my maintenance setting and did a general look around because nothing else is needed.

quoted me 165$ here in SFO, seems pretty reasonable I guess. Might see if I can get tranny fluid done as well.

Its a stick shift: No ATF! One less cost and one less thing to worry about.
