Damn I am good, was pretty close to your quote.

You're paying for all that service, then at the end they throw in another 250$ for a 45k service? Blasphemy. I don't get how dealerships get people so often. People just have a grand to spend on maintenance and get extremely ripped off?

Yes, really good quoting. Since I'm past the mfg warranty now, I'll pass on the big service packages at x amount of miles, unless it involves the flushing of fluids. The 'recommended service' board at the dealer actually shows some type of service every 1500-1800 miles or something crazy like that. There was no way I was going to sign up for all of that. I denied everything except the oil change. Plus, I'll have to buy new tires soon, so the more money I save now, the sooner I can get new tires.

I would do all the brake pads instead of just the rears if I were you..

Thanks for the brake work. $284 for parts, $30 for beer vs. $550 for dealership. You saved me some good money. You have my recommendation. Have fun at the drift event. Let me know when/if you want those cracked a$$ rims I have in my attic. I'll gladly give them to you. You have my number.
