Bough a Hyundai Elantra here in 2009, they offered the two year warranty and said I didn't have to worry about a thing, everything was covered, free car washes and a coupon worth $1000 for my next car purchase, the catch is that they charged $2000 extra for that. The coupon book had about five free oil changes that probably cost a couple hundred dollars at the most. I had a newborn at babysitter and they rushed me into signing the papers to drive home my brand new car. When I finally had figured that out and talked to friend that had bought the same car for $2000 less, I went and talked to John Ashdale and explained my problem, he said that everyone negotiates different and what he could do is to charge my friend more to make the price even. Just this end of April 2017 I took my car to get the air bag light checked and they said it was because I had lint roller under my seat, charged me $115 dollars and didn't fix or reset the warning light, what they did is give me a list of things that needed to be done to my car; replacing ac and timing belts, and put front brakes, and they would throw in the sensor for the small amount of $3000. I took my car to a different mechanic and did a timing belt kit, put new water pump, flush coolant and replaced front brakes for $660. This is my own experience and not trying to put down the dealer. But if I had said yes to their recommendations I would had paid $2340 extra for the same work. Plus I already paid them the $2000 for the extra warranty that I didn't need, since that car had a 10 year powetrain warranty from the manufacturer. You decide. The only service I'll be getting there is the car wash.
