Most Expensive Oil Change/Rotate?

[The Critic]

$360 for an oil change and tire rotation on a ES300h sets a new high for me.

I assume they have gigabit wifi, massage chairs, free starbucks, and pay per view with that service?

Be happy it's not a Bugatti Veyron.
Then again if you could afford a Veyron a $21,000 oil change would be, well, pocket change.
So my post doesn't make much sense.
Nevermind.

Capitol Toyota in San Jose wanted about $1,000 for my friend's daughter's beautiful Rav4 hybrid.

$1000 for someone with average mechanical ability could do in an hour and a half and $100 in parts.

For $360, I’d hope it includes Idiocracy Starbucks.

For $360 it should include 55 min real massage with all the car services too and Mint julep.

Daughters Santa Fe broke a front coil spring Saturday. For just under $400 I replaced the front struts with Monroe Quick Struts, oil change with a Mahle filter and Kirkland oil, and rotated the tires.

If you think that is bad, try $183 for the 5K tire rotation and inspection!

Lexus and other equal vehicles are "luxury cars" and you know what to expect going in. I have mentioned this many times-the Ford dealer's hour rate here is $250.00.

However-I believe oil change/tire rotations are around $100.00

I never had a vehicle I did a 30,000 mile service on. Regular oil changes of course. I start deciding what I WANT DONE at 50,000 miles.

What is this mysterious floor mat that needs inspection and and installation inspection? What is the OCI on that?

So they can do oil change and tire rotation without balancing for less than 30 mins. Must be red head pimple kid working minimum wage.

Many dealers “menu price” their light maintenance services and do so by charging a reduced labor rate.

But other dealers are getting smarter and are charging their normal shop rate.

Unless you lived under a rock in recent history drivers doormats have caused all kind of issues-so much so they are now an inspection item.

What does an oil change cost on a big over the road rig? Must be pricey just for the amount of oil and multiple filters.

Ouch indeed! This is more than inflation, in that other post talking about greedflation .. that is what this really is. Be on the watch for this greed to fail, it always does.

And… how many “ luxury car “ owners are going to actually go out and get their hands dirty and oily working in their luxury car ?

Very, very few I guarantee.

I will say I saw a older guy in his late 50s who owned a multimillion home on the North River in Gloucester county who actually did oil changes and other heavy duty work on his own vehicles and big trucks and his own bulldozer. That guy was a self made man and made his money up north with a number of car dealerships. He wasn’t afraid to do anything on his vehicles and equipment. I was very, very impressed by seeing a guy like that do all that.

I had an $870 40k mile service on the GTI, but that included DSG service. It would have been more but the oil change itself was free. Just an oil change is about $115 with tax.

"Inspect Floor Mats" ???... For what?
