Scary Stuff If True.......

Yeah I know. They used to always try to sell me on the transmission fluid change. I have a reputable shop do that, and do it correctly; not merely pump out the old fluid and put in fresh, but drop the pan, change out the filter, and clean everything up as much as possible.

I do most everything on my 99 Dakota, but on my wifes 08 Mazda 6, we take it to the dealership. We get an oil change and tire rotation for $35-$40. Her car has a 'shield' on the bottom of it to protect the underside of the engine. I'm not messing with all that to change the oil. I can crawl under my truck without using a jack to change the oil.
There are services that the dealership charges a little more for than other places but they aren't as bad as they used to be price wise.
