I asked the dealer to use engine oil I purchased from Jeff at FD, the q state 5w-40 an oil filter, and BMC air filter. The car had not had a 2 year service done on it and its last oil change was about a year ago. With 6k miles on it they recommended doing the 2 year service as well as the routine 6k service.
Basically they checked everything, changed out the coolant, power steering fluid, checked the belts, replaced the air filter for the AC, left the origional air filter of the car on. They called me and told me the original air filter was extremely clean and recommend I keep the BMC till the next service. They also changed out the Pilot bearing per a factory service bulletin.
The grand total price for all of this was $1400. My question is, is that a reasonable price to have charged? There was hardly any parts other than the power steering fluid and coolant fluid they used! so what gives? My sense is its not too bad, especially since it only had had two oil changes in 3 years, and the last being a year ago.
They charged $1125 for labor.. didn't specify how many hours they worked on the car but thats where most all of it came from. Then there was the TAX of course and an another $140 for the power steering and coolant fluids.
On a separate note, I ordered the Larini mufflers from Jeff and will post results when they arrive.
Cheers
