Oil change and transmission fluid, yeah.

As far as getting my tires rotated and shyt like that, mostly only when there's an issue. :yeshrug:

Your tires will last longer if you have them rotated when doing the oil changes because they'll wear more evenly. It doesn't add much to the price of the oil change ($0 - $20) so might as well have it done. Now if you change your own oil, rotating tires can definitely be a lot of extra work if you don't have the proper stands and an impact wrench. Then again, anyone who changes their own oil probably knows all that.

I drive a Mercedes... when the alert tells me it’s time for maintenance, I schedule the appointment :yeshrug:

I think car maintenance is and should be (from what I remember) pretty affordable based on the car. Cheaper cars require cheaper gas, tires, oil changes, etc.

Don’t chance it with your car. You need it
It felt like my coworker punched me in tha chest when he told me tha cost of his oil changes for his Mercedes.

Yall only do it once or twice a year tho.

Lol to be fair it’s not just an oil change

I pay about 900-1400 every 12000 miles for an oil flush, freon for the AC, all the fluids, plugs and belts if they need repair and lights... not too bad honestly :manny:

Not including the “service” you pull in and based on the car and reservation they walk up and know your name, offer you coffee or water or whatever, clean building, any concerns you can tell the salesperson and they might be able to add it into the service, rental car for the day, they wash the car and vacuum the inside etc.

It’s worth it

I get emails/mail when it's almost time for service. My car will also alert me via a message on the dash when I need something done.
