Default Wow now I know why there called stealership

I have done all my own maintenance the last 10 years but buying a new 2017 RGS and the warranty issues now days .. decided to let the dealership do the 1k oil change call them today now I know why there call stealership $360 for a oil change crazy high in my book ... but the good news they will use the oil of my choice for a extra $20 ..

Technically it's more than an oil change.

It's more than an oil change, and your spelling and grammar sucks.

if you walk in and open up your wallet- they are hardly stealing.

maybe taking advantage of a fool or the aged...

but nobody is forced into the game

Hell, you are lucky if they change your oil filter ! they are going to charge you for one either way. they don't do half the **** they say they do. it's a joke, buy a manual and do it yourself or get use to getting it stuck where the sun don't shine.

Wears be the Grammer forms at?

Come on man.

CONGRATS ON THE NEW BIKE.

Do your own maintenance. Document it. You'll be fine for warranty issues. Should be anyway. Confirm with dealer.
