Default Re: Dealer vs Normal Mechanic

I can't see why you'd pay an apprentice at a dealership to check your brake lights, indicators, air conditioning, top up windshield washer etc at probably around $130 an hour, when you can do it yourself.

I remember when I bought my BA XR8 ute brand new, I used to get the dealership to do the servicing while it was under warranty. Just before the very last service, I topped up the windshield washer bottle to see what would happen. Yep, they charged me at the service for the same top up. Never went back again.
