I could barely do this more cheaply myself.
Of course there will be some upsell attempts and the dealer's service manager is also hoping that you'll be back for some work that has a little margin to it, but you can always just say no.
Thing is, what's your time worth?
You already have a guy who will change your oil while you work at your desk.
You'll spend time driving to this dealer and then spend time waiting for the job to get done.
Of course, you could always send your hired hand over there with the vehicle when he isn't busy and give the shop a credit card number over the phone.
ya no upsales for this guy lol
And my guy works out of his shop and its 30 miles from me, So its free labor, but only worth when im already there for something else, But for next few weeks, He's out of tow. So either I do it myself or have the dealer do it. And it being 90 degrees already here in OK. Looks like dealer will be getting my $15 very soon lol
Dealer is only 5 miles from my home and said it'll only take around 45 minutes or so to do the oil change/courtesy inspection
