Default 15k miles?

Did I make a bad choice in not going with the dealerships full service maintaince for my car because it hit 15k miles. It would have included air filter, rotation but I that myself. So with those taken out the 324 price went down to 284. So I told them thats still expensive and I decided the cabin filter and wipers I could do myself. so in the end I'm paying 94 bucks for a oil change and the brake check and cleaner. I also paid 94 last time for the air filter and oil change. Is my dealership oveercharging for this stuff?

I take my own filter and oil to the dealer and they charge me $13 for a change.

Most of the cost of dealer oil changes is the oil mark up.

You could either do the oil changes yourself, or ask the service advisor if you may bring your own oil.

Do your own fluid changes. Dealers are retarded and wont be as careful or precise as you'd be.

Agreed. Switch to a spin on filter and its even that much easier. When you buy good oil changes are expensive enough as it is. And when you go to a dealership you never know if you are getting what you pay for...

Completely agree with that being said I have oil changes free for a year so I bring my own oil :-)
Yay for laziness

For reference, Gen2's already have a spin-on filter. No need to convert.
