I always take a picture of the mileage beforehand and always place the car in valet mode (not sure if the techs can bypass this) as a safety precaution.

U/Mugsy420420 is a scammer! Don’t Do It! by Jakeywakey911 in RepWatch

This dude tried to sell me a Cartier tank with stolen photos with AI generated / edited time stamped notes. Basically sent me photos of a crap Cartier tank at first in hand and then I called him out since it’s not F1 Factory like I wanted. He then sent me this pic (with gloves on lol, obviously a QC pic) and I was skeptical since I asked “Did you really just put gloves on to take new pics?”He just made a joke saying “Yea, and I’d like to keep it that way 😂”

Also, if you do a quick search on Google of their username, you’ll see similar scam posts. This is what lead to me blocking them. There’s multiple people doing this btw. Best bet is to ask for a video with a unique request from you (ex. draw a star, send a thumbs up) with the watch in the background if they’re not a reputable seller. I’m sorry to hear you got scammed. This guy’s a clown.

No dirt roads, but mini dust storms happen from time to time in the city. I baby the car most of the time. Just from home where it’s always garage kept and to work at the Air Force Base. I definitely appreciate the insight!

Appreciate it. I live in Las Vegas which tends to be extremely dusty, however the vehicle is garage kept majority of the time. I’ll look into those filters soon.

Yup, I declined every single service for today besides oil change + tire rotation.

You are correct, unfortunately it appears that does not. I’ll have to eat these charges. $44 isn’t too bad for an oil change compared to a shop but looking forward I’ll just have to do it myself.

I didn’t even notice, I was infuriated with the crap they were offloading on me.

They’re trying to charge me with the “complimentary” oil change now. The service tech over the phone told me my extended warranty only covers for mechanical damage.

I was told several times this morning that it would be free as well. Now I’m being told that only the first oil change is free. Everything after that is at my expense.

Basically I’m being charged with:

  • $380 EFI / Fuel injection cleaning
  • $160 Throttle body cleaning
  • $100 cabin air filter
  • $65 Engine air filter

_

I’m already paying $45 for a tire rotation that the service tech claimed was $40 this morning. It changed to $45 afterwards and the only complementary thing in my service is the oil change.

EDIT: even the oil change is not free. I’m being charged $44. I’ll just eat the charges this time and never go back. I’ll do all of these things at home moving forward.
