If your vehicle is out of warranty, I'd take it so...
If your vehicle is out of warranty, I'd take it somewhere else to get general maintenance done unless you want to drop a car payment every time.
$230 for an oil change, tire rotation, and the cabin/engine air filters.
$88 alone just for the labor only on an oil change and tire rotation?
They do a "free" multi-point vehicle inspection stated at a $40.50 value. A deeper dive into your invoice will show you are paying for it somewhere.
They pulled the filters to check as part of the inspection and yes they needed changed. I expect to pay a bit more to have them do it even though it's a simple change for the most novice Honda owner. I was floored when I looked at the invoice and saw they charged $40.98 in just the labor to slide in the new ones after pulling the dirty ones out to check as part of the inspection.
There is your multi point inspection cost!.. I'm ok with paying the marked up cost of the filters at $58.97, however they had already taken the filters out to check as part of their "free" inspection. If I had said "No, dont replace them, I'll do it", the old filters would have been put back and I would not have incurred the labor charge of $40.98.
Tried calling service manager to discuss but was left with voicemail. I use to get my Honda parts and service completed with these guys for past 8 years and when they were at the other location. If you have a Honda under warranty you really have no choice in Rochester, but if it's not under warranty I would recommend trying somewhere else cause there are a lot of other options. I know a lot of these guys at the dealerships in Rochester get a bonus or commission based on the tickets they write so keep that in mind when getting service done.
