i called up albany ford subaru and they charge $230 for the 15k maintenance service. anyone know a local dealership around the bay area that charges less? i think $230 is outrageous for the work they are supposed to do on your car because everything is just "inspect", and they don't have to replace anything.

 

hah, i got quoted $310 from santa cruz.

 

you can do it all yourself.

 

just wait, the 30k is like $600 or so.

 

yeah, just do it all yourlself, thats if you already work on your car.

 

well either pay 230 or spend like 2 hours of your life and 20 bux and do the stuff yourself lol

 

yeah sorry but i think 2 hours of my life is worth 230!!!

thats 115 dollars an hour !!
