For me Bill (service rep) said "do you need an oil change?" and I said I didnt know - bought it at carmax about 3000 miles ago - he said there was a sensor he could check (?) and he would let me know if I needed one. I never heard anything else from him but got the $130 charge when i picked up the car. Really not a big deal - I dont think he intentionally ripped me off - I just didnt get the confirmation I was expecting, but in the end Im happy I got the oil change.


Whose srt-6 did i see friday coming north on Ptree industrial at 3pm?
I work at the macys tech center in duluth now so Ill be seein ya!
You must have gotten the new guy as a service rep. I know Skip, Martin, Andy and Joe, but
haven't met Bill yet. Anyway, $130 is rather steep for an oil change.

You should have seen me when I got the bill for my free oil change. I literally went straight to
the General Managers office and read him the riot act respecting such bait and switch tactics.
That fellow is no longer at this dealership. There were a couple of customers in the showroom
at the time, and as I was leaving, I heard an older gentleman tell his lady that he just knew
the "free lifetime oil change" was just a marketing gimmick.

But, seriously, I didn't buy the car because of the free oil changes. In the past, I have always
changed the oil myself, but figured while under warranty I'd let the dealer do it (since it was free,
right?) Anyway, now I just take 9 quarts with me when I go in for an oil change. They perform
the labor free and I only pay for oil (well, filters too).

BTW, I don't have any idea who that would be that you are seeing around Peachtree Industrial.
I live up in Kennesaw, so I take I-75. You'll know my car by the license plate. It matches my
handle.
