Dealer Service Specials

RaceBlood · 03-23-2011, 11:44 AM

The dealer in downtown Chicago wanted $150 for a Oil Change, I found a dealer in suburbs that had oil change/filter special for $79 with car wash/shuttle etc, and took the coupon to dealer downtown and they honored it!

Now, with 62K miles, I need to find a Coolant Flush for under $80

Should I get a Fuel Injection Flush too? Or just use a additive?

Cheers

Im looking for a coolant flush too. Been thinking about let some local shop doing it but also afraid they might break something... Any suggestion?

And OP, for oil change? why not just DIY? Its really not a big job!

It's a nasty substance to deal with. They gave me the evil eye when I dropped off 5 gal. of used motor oil, can you imagine dropping of coolant?
