I often see people criticize dealer "service packages" as rip-offs, as they include bogus inspections. However, I see that they often include the following services, at least under a 30K service:
- Engine Oil/Filter Change
- Engine Air and Cabin Air Filter Replacement
- Drain and Refill Coolant and Transmission Fluids
- Change Brake Fluid
- Rotate Tires/Check Brakes
- Various Inspections
$350 seems to be the average for such services. This seems like a reasonable fee IMO to perform such services, considering how labor intensive some of these can be, such as A/C Cabin Filter replacement.
So why does everyone still consider these "service packages" as rip-offs?
