Service Advice
Light came on and went to an indy shop to get my key read. This is what he came back and quoted me with to clear my service light:
1. $50 - diagnosis test, check control messages, check indicator/warning lights, reset CBS display 2. $102 - standard vehicle check (operation, air conditioning, lighting, corrosion, tires, battery, coolant, etc.) 3. $120 - oil change Total $273 + tax Does this sound reasonable? I've seen lower oil change prices at dealerships during specials and I feel like overall this is pretty high. |

Okay, if you are doing your homework then really do some. Go read the owners manual and the service manual and educate yourself on how the Conditioned Based Service (CBS) system works. The E9X tells you exactly what service is due and when. There is no reason why you can't find out what service is required when the service indicator comes on before taking it to a mechanic for service.
