...... sort of ....![]() Personally, I take my new cars into the dealership where I purchased them, for service, while the car is under warranty. Although, I don't mod my cars with any "questionable" mods during the warranty period, I feel better IF something were to go wrong, I would have a stronger (less hassel) case to plead, if they had done all the servicing. Yes, I know, I have a set of ramps, a crescent wrench, a pan, a oil filter wrench, a funnel ..... and I know where to buy oil .... .However, I sort of like the experience (I'm retired) of spending some time at the dealership. They have FREE coffee, sometimes donuts and good car magazines to read. In addition, sometimes the receptionist is cute and fun to flirt with. I get a kick out of asking questions of the salesperson and finding out how little some of them know about the cars they are "selling". The FR-S is especially fun that way.... ![]() Yea, I know, it's sort of a hassel to have hide the locking lug key, if I don't want the tires rotated; posting the BIG sign on the dash "DO NOT WASH"; marking the oil filter, to make sure they changed it; checking the oil when they finish to make sure they refilled it and to the proper level and carefully looking under the car for any leaks. Yepper, that coffee has to be good; the receptionist must be perty and the car magazines must be up to date. Oh yes, I COULD DIY, but, after 68 years of doing my own maintenance (yes, I started when I was two years old, by oiling the wheels on my tricycle - after watching my grandpa oil the combine) ..... ![]() humfrz - in ramble mode ....
