I'll be frank, I don't know what recommended things are fluff vs good investments from the dealerships...maybe its all necessary or all fluff or some of each...ill write it out




$90, front caliper service , cleaner lubricants

$90 rear caliper service, cleaner lubricants


$63 wheel balance


$215 , emission service, throttle clean, replace filters, scan for related codes and re flash computer for updates
( this seems like a cash burn tbh )

$94 fuel injector flush

9.95 wheel alignment check

only 2 that makes sense but doesn't even seem worth it. I dont even know what a caliper service is. do they mean a brake flush?

All fluff there


Calipers should be cleaned and system bleed when brakes are replaced. Air filter is replaced as needed. Paying them to read codes that autozone will do for free is asinine. Balancing tires that are not showing abnormal wear or noise is a waste. Fuel injectors shouldn't be messed with unless there are symptoms that warrant it. Wheel alignment check... does the car drive straight? Tires have even wear? Done.

i like you, you should put an ls1 in an fd for me, make my dream come true

I'll send my paypal address. I've wanted to swap an rx7 for a while. I'll even have a 383 LS1 with AFR heads sitting on an engine stand in about 2 weeks.

Wheel balance is necessary if it's an issue
most places do a free wheel alignment check
emission service sounds like a shit service
injector service I'd recommend on higher milage
front and rear caliper service, the fuck.?

for 39.99 most dealerships will top off washer fluid and refill tire pressure

mine does that for free, right after they change my oil for free, and wash the outside/vacuum the inside for free, and they give me free coffee, and have free wifi while i wait.

Sounds like they are in business to make money

yeh cause they got a porsche and vw dealership too, they rip off all those guys

treat the bmw customers like kings

my girlfriend has a VW, ive been to that side of the service center, its like a peasant town, no free coffee, shitty wifi, no vacuum service, $5 for washer fluid, it completely disgusts me being around that kind of filth

the porsche center has the coffee, good wifi, but man do they bend you over and shine your asshole, they make good money though, when i came to get my car they had a 2015 camaro zl1 or some shit in there, had all sorts of badass ground effects and what not, i guess the guy bought it, drove down US19 a bit, and traded it for a 911 gt2

$145,000 camaro, drove it for about an hour, and traded it for a GT2, probably got his balls slapped around like a boxing bag on that trade too
