Prices can vary significantly based on the type of car and the type of oil required. Yelp Before getting an oil change, it pays to call ahead to get a full estimate for your specific vehicle (among the chains we surveyed, only Walmart posts national pricing online). Some auto-parts stores go beyond selling supplies to provide basic maintenance services, and even some big-box retailers, such as Walmart, have gotten into the oil change game. Aside from your local mechanic or car dealership, a slew of popular national and regional chains offer quick oil changes. For car owners who don't want to roll up their sleeves and do it themselves, there's an almost endless array of choice. Service options were limited, and $20 to $25 every three months or so covered the costs for pretty much any car. Prices may vary in your area, as well as across franchises and based on car model.

If you are going to charge me more, let me see why and they certainly do. That may be a little expensive compared to Toyota, but the Quality of service we received, they extra mile they went, on top of the loaner vehicle and the atmosphere they provide if you must wait in their shop, is simply outstanding and to me that's how you build customer loyalty. and they called when done so we didn't have to wait at all. Next, I lost one of the simple push connectors for the cover panel by your feet and they replaced that FREE also.Īnd finally, the service rate was $120 but they signed me for their VIP rewards last time I was in and they automatically give you 10% discount + 5% rewards bonus for future purchase.

Thanks to all in this forum what a great service! when i do the 90k service, is there anything the lexus dealership would do that a toyota dealership wouldn't? or since the highlander is equivalent, it's all the same. how important are the torquing of the bolts? can i simply wait until 90k extensive service and not worry about the next 10k miles?Ĥ. if i go to jiffy lube etc, should i use a premium oil over their normal?ģ. is there any difference on the oil change from dealership vs jiffy lube, mobil 1, valvoline and quickie oil change services?Ģ. I prefer to go somewhere where the records report to carfax instead of doing them myself (for future resale purposes). this, as well as the 85k, are basically oil change and tire rotation with some bolt torquing. light just came on the dash for next service interval the 80,000 service. since i'm past warranty, i don't feel it's completely necessary to have lexus do all the service intervals. ![]() I just bought my wife a 2006 400h with 79k miles.
