I took my '04 in for it's first scheduled maintenance service a little early at 5,000 miles. I had a $19.99 Chrysler coupon for an oil change. In the mouse type it said "some vehicles SLIGHTLY higher." I knew it was going to be more than "slightly" higher, but figured I'd have some fun with the Service Dept. boys. I presented it when they wrothe the Repair Order and the Service Writer said, " Yeah right. Try $90. plus."

This Oil and Filter change took 90-minutes and with sales tax cost me $99.00. Eight quarts of Mobil 1 add up pretty quickly. I'm not complaining about the cost but the 90-minutes (most of which was spent trying to reset the computer) showed me that they haven't a lot of experience yet.
