got my oil change today-this is good. now that i got your attention. i called Brantford Honda this morning at about 8:00am to book an appointment for an oil change, since i hit 16,000kms they wanted to check my brakes and rotate my tires along with oil change for $105.00:eek: so im like excuse me....... so i told her i wanted an OIL CHANGE normally, i can rotate my own tires in 20 minutes, and i know my brakes work well.... man no disrespect, but dealerships will try to grab as much money off u as they can........ damn...... dont fall for there tricks!! |
Quote [hr] and i know my brakes work well.... [hr] |
hahahahahaah I KNOW man!!! LMAO! |
haha, thats y i dont let dealer do anything except oil change......aww........its a horrible way to beat the dealer like that, keep punching keep punching |
tsk tsk tsk do u feel lighter yet??? :susp::susp::susp: |
they wanted to check my brakes and rotate my tires along with oil change for $105.00 its called servicing the vehicle ...ITS THERE JOB ....... they have to offer it, especially after 16,000 kms.......if you don't want them to do it, then say no, but I doubt they are trying to rip you off........They have labour rates and employee's they have to pay ...... Dealerships don't make money on servicing .... thats why they usually give away oil changes .... |
I should hit 16k in couple of months, and I'll probably pony up 100 bucks... maybe I can talk them into putting new rims instead of the stocks if I end up getting them before 16k:) Sisley Honda, they have been good to me. so far.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] |

[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] p.s HONDA is great to me too.... if i find anything rip off its CHRYSLER! |

[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] p.s HONDA is great to me too.... if i find anything rip off its CHRYSLER![hr] No offense but did you happen to read the price guide above the service station in your local honda dealer ...... Its usually posted in BIG letters the milage and cost of the service...So you would have know that the price of you 16,000 km service was $105 after you got your 8,000 km service .....and NO i would not pay $105.00 - I usually work out a deal in advance that allows me to get some sort of Discount on servicing .....Usually while I'm buying the vehicle .......As do most people ......And they do a little more than rotate your tires for $105...like oil change, check brakes, top up fluids, lube doors and hinges, clean the engine bay up, and wash the car .... I don't see how $105 bucks for a quality service is a big deal ...LOL....If you think thats outrageous I guess you'll be staying away from BMW..... |
$105?? i paid $130 for the 16,000KM maintainence at Roadsport :shake: |
i'm nearing 16k km too... how long does it take to get this service done? can i drop my lx off, catch lunch at arby's then pick up my car (like what i did at the 8k service)? or would i have to leave my car for longer or even the whole day? |
03eclipse: good point you know what i wanted to trade my LX for a 97 BMW 328IS coupe. i have a buddy who works at the mitsubishi autopark in burlington.... great car but $$$$$$ when it comes to maintaining it! NEXT POST! for the 16,000kms, they say about an hour to do the job! dont get me wrong, i guess im not used to this kind of service when i had my Neon, most of it i did myself. lowered it, modded it, etc..... even tried to fix my own sunroof, which was going to cost it 1000 to fix. no thanks! thats when i gave it up for a civic! |

hey my buddy works on the counter.... and he works in the back when they need him... he tore out an engine out of a 97 eclipse from California.... b/c something snapped from the CRANK! great cars.... id consider but id rather buy a 98-99 turbo eclipse... im all about boost! ill think about it, if they can consdier... gettig some used eclipses he can get hook ups' i asked him to find a 01-02 civic SIR engine! at his cost! if he could find it... id have one sleeper on my hand! |
NIce...I had to get the 03, Loved the look of them....The V6 is not bad as far as speed, ....I know theres faster for the money but I like the look of the vehicle...And autopark is a great dealership....I'm sure I'll be visiting your buddy in 2500 kms or so ..... |
where u from"???? |
Wow I dont know if it was some kind of promo or something at Barrie Honda but I just went in for an oil change 13,000kms and they did everything... topping up all the fluids, air pressure, door hinges and a full 22 point inspection for about $33 tax included. I didnt even ask for it...they just did it all in about 20 minutes while I waited. Man was I impressed! :tup::tup: for Barrie Honda. Its only a 40 minute drive from Etobicoke so definitely worth it. |
