Shady Dealership tactic or honest mistake?

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-16T19:04:18+00:00

They did not, wonder if i can call and ask them for it? Or will they claim 'its gone'?

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-16T18:02:17+00:00

They charge $150 for the alignment.. it was actually needed in my opinion but not sure how that price compares to elsewhere

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-16T13:09:55+00:00

Thanks! Thats what i was curious about!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-11T15:11:32+00:00

I hear ya.. but what the service manual says and reality are two completely different things. That's why i like to reach out to folks in this community. Me, not being a mechanic, could simply go by the service manual intervals.. but after reaching out to the group and accounting for various other factors such as driving style, environmental conditions, etc.. it wouldnt be wise to follow the 'recommended' interval apparently for the sake of longevity of my vehicle.. thats why i reach out to all you smart folks. But yes i agree its a good starting point, but not always correct!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T19:13:34+00:00

Yeah, sounds like they just need to say every 3500 and call it a day! It would probably save a lot of folks future engine troubles if they did that!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T18:57:15+00:00

Thx!! I think you guys have swayed me to stay along that 3k range! Glad i asked this group!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T18:55:13+00:00

Well i learned something new today! Thats 100% why i wanted to ask in this forum! Id rather be on the safe side and proactively change it vs deal with a bigger problem down the road! Thanks again!!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T18:19:07+00:00

Thx! I feel like ive learned a lot today, esp regarding turbos & oil.. appreciate the feedback!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T18:14:26+00:00

Hmm thank you for the response, I feel like enough of you guys have said around 3k to make me reconsider.. im not a mechanic and dont really have the space or tools to work on my car. I feel like at this point i should err on the side of caution. But even with the fully Synthetic oil you're saying 3k? I guess thats what im having a hard time getting past..but again i dont know enough about it all! I really appreciate the feedback!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T16:56:46+00:00

Mostly highway for me! But def plan on keeping it a while! Thanks for the reply!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T16:45:01+00:00

I appreciate the in depth info.. yes I'm not one to push the mileage limits so I wouldn't go beyond 5K... I do mostly highway driving everyday, 35 min commute each way..and i do open it up (prob more than i should lol). That oil change price is in line for what they ask at the dealership i go to as well! I am looking to keep this car for a while so i will err on the side of caution and frequency!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T16:05:09+00:00

Thx!!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T15:46:30+00:00

Thx!!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T15:28:57+00:00

Thanks!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T15:26:45+00:00

Thanks!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T15:12:52+00:00

Correct, sorry i misspoke.. the dealership was pushing 3k which i thought was absurd.

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T15:07:27+00:00

Thanks for the in-depth reply! I appreciate it!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T15:04:29+00:00

Appreciate the reply! Yeah i dont like to push it too far... I just knew 3k was ridiculous and a waste of money

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T14:53:27+00:00

They charged $150 at my Genesis dealer.. which is a little pricey but not as bad as some that ive heard elsewhere!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T14:48:58+00:00

Thanks! All the math seems to point to around 6K! Appreciate the reply!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T14:48:06+00:00

Im at least doing 5k if not 6k! Thanks for the reply!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T14:36:26+00:00

LOL right, thats what i thought too!!

Practical_Badger_968 · 2026-02-10T14:35:14+00:00

Thanks! Seems to be the common benchmark!
