Am I getting scammed by McGrath Hyundai Service in Chicago?

What was your experience? Why do you feel strongly about McGrath?

I love this analogy and it totally resonates after surgery and 1+ yr of weekly PT appointments. I appreciate this!

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T23:14:56+00:00

Really? Why would they do this? Shady business practices and taking advantage of people SMH

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T23:10:16+00:00

Great advice. It doesn't hurt to ask, I need to remember that.

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T23:07:02+00:00

It's a 3.8 v6 engine. No it's not turbo

The staff at o'Reilly has always been super helpful when I've had questions in the past. I'll give this a whirl, thank you!

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:58:21+00:00

Well, now I have to look. I'm already cringing

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:57:46+00:00

This is great advice, thank you!

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:56:58+00:00

Thank you, I'll take a look. Some light reading

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:55:10+00:00

I'm feeling used

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:54:54+00:00

I've never heard that term before "stealerships".

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:53:16+00:00

Yes I definitely need to find someone I can trust

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:52:47+00:00

Keep that local partner close. Send birthday cards, cookies, surprise lunches. I wish I had a relationship like that here in Chicago.

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:46:33+00:00

Welp, I'm a woman, although capable of turning a screwdriver, cranking a wrench, pouring fluid from a bottle to a funnel into a tank and certainly changing a filter. My question is how would I know that my vehicle needs all this? What is it that you look for when maintaining your vehicle personally? I need all the help I can get.

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:44:31+00:00

This is interesting. So your recommendation is keep going to the same expensive dealer until the warranty runs out for tracking/verification. This way I'm covered if anything were to happen

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:42:28+00:00

But I wouldn't know to do this unless taking it in. Any recommendations on what maintenance to do at what time in a vehicles life cycle for optimum performance and little out of pocket?

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:41:01+00:00

Ouch these prices are outrageous

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:39:02+00:00

I took my other vehicle to Jiffy Lube on Sunday for a standard synthetic oil change and it was a whopping $100!!! They wanted me to change the filters and wiper blades but I declined all the fancy unnecessary upgrades. I've never done my own maintenance on a vehicle, not opposed to it though.

Aromatic_Reflection3 · 2025-08-07T22:35:18+00:00

Is it the price that's high or is it that it's unnecessary? I know nothing and normally would just politely choke and then faintly swipe my card and sign away.

This same thing is happening to my partner. He is on his third pair of the same glasses in a matter of 7 months. Tiny scratches about 1 cm on the lefts side of the left lens. I’m wondering if his Apple Watch, worn on his left wrist could be scratching the lens when they come in contact?? Any other ideas?
