So I go to my dealer for oil changes only, I bought the car used so they give a deal on oil change on a Hemi for only $20.
Many times I go in they ask about other things, the guys knows me so he usually knows my answer, cabin air filter the want $70, I say not thanks its $17 on Amazon and a two minute install, Engine Air Filter, $80+ said no thanks it has a K&N filter, transmission oil once for $370+ which inst even listed as a maintenance item in the book and I told him so.
Today it was spark plugs, initially quoted $675, then said oh no you have a Hemi that's $850 for changing spark plugs. Politely said no, and will likely do it myself...
Do you really need them switched out at 100,000 miles, is it that hard to do, I watched some you tube videos this morning, certainly didn't seem like an $800 dollar job, the plugs look like they are about $100 so how many hours does their computer tell them it takes to change all 16?
