Should I take my car to the dealers?

Im scheduled for a 7,500k mile tune up free. I had a horrible experience at the dealers recently about the trunk leaking and saying that Ive been into an accident. So, yeah I dont think the dealers know jack ****!!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG].

At 7500 miles I'm guessing you mean a oil change and not a tune up, if its for a free oil change I'd get it but if you have issues with the dealer take it to a shop you trust.

Dealers are cheap jerks. They want to maximize profits, they could give a damn about the owners. As long as they make the sale, it's all good to them.

go to the dealer only as a last resort. I personally go to private owned shops or DIY if possible. dealers try as hard as they can to jerk u off.

your tellin me im not in the place 5 seconds and i got about 3 hands down my pants [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]...but seriously, the dealers **** me off everytime i go. 2 years ago when i bought my car, the honda invasion hadn't fully exploded where i live so they weren't making the kind of money their making now, so they actually cared about how my car was running and if i was having any problems, they'd even holla at me on my celly to check on things. it was great, then everyone and their great uncle bought a honda and now, they could care less if you got a leak somewhere or your tranny is acting up. so i try to stay away as much as i can but there are times when i must give in and go, for warranty issues and krap. anyways, i wish i knew more **** about my car so i could do more of the work on it myself.oh well, ya live and learn....
