This is an odd statement, I work for a large tire store chain and I am going to change my oil every 5k like I am supposed to, I will not let the dealer rip me off for any maintence service I can do myself at work. Plus we keep computerized records, if I ever did have a warranty issue with my engine they can not legally deny it because I chose to do my own maintence

hmm cuz i was just wondering, with the video the mech. say that they are gonna service what they need to do with the car but they dont do it.

So if they get commision of the customers bills the mechs will try and raise their bills so their get a higher paycheck

And if they dont, whats the point of tellin the customers they are gonna change the fluids and all that when they are not gonna do it.

I mean, if i was gettin commission and was a dickhead mech i would prob do that.

I understand. I'm just saying as a used car buyer, there is nothing that can make a car more attractive than when the owner walks up with the Toyota warranty guide in hand and every single visit is stamped and has detailed information as to what was done. Its not to say that changing your oil yourself yields any different outcome, but just to have that documentation... I don't know, if you spend the $13k to get the car, whats another 20 or 30 bucks to have them put the oil in for you and stamp your book. You know you leave with a free car wash and inspection anyway.
