Description of service

I received a full inspection, oil change, waste disposal, new oil filter and computer lights reset. The computer resent is important if not done properly a check engine lamp will light.


Review of Service

I did not use the dealer. They charge a lot more and free car wash is not worth the extra money. I small shop take a little scheduling, they will not provide a ride home nor a loaner car, but they are muck more honest in that they do not push for unneeded services.


Tips

I would reconsider taking a car to a dealer for any service. My deal service experience has been consistent what every dealer or car I have had the dealers service managers push for new hoses before they leak, fluid flush and change when they may only need a top off. The only time I had a good experience with dealer service was when the car was under full coverage the insurance company had to pick up the full tab, then I did not care that it was a rip off. The dealer took a couple weeks to fix a parking lot ding, but the have me s sporty rental to use, so only if someone else is picking up the tab consider a dealer worth it.
