Service, rear axle differential
Spark Plugs
Air filter element
Cost $800 Cdn
I drive only 5000Km (3000miles) a year. No tracking.
The service advisor quoted me $375 for oil change! I questioned him and he said because it was an M car. I kept on pressing him and then he said he got a "system price error" and the price dropped to $230.
Just because of this I don't really have confident or trust in what they are telling me.
When I picked up the car a few hours later, they reported that there was seepage (not leaking yet) at the Oil Filter Housing and Cooler Gasket and it will cost $1200 to fix (5 hours job). How do I know if this guy is telling the truth or not?
Any help is appreciated.
