Rant: Dealership Oil Change

[calmeda1]

Just starting a thread so I can rant about my local dealership. I went to the dealer because they said I still have free oil changes. My plan was to use those until they're done, and then I'll switch to FCP Euro and do my own. I drive up to the dealership first thing in the morning, and they tell me that the change is $350. I mentioned that the appointment was made because the service person told me I still had a free change , but also that wtf is that price. They said that is the price I will find everywhere for the Supra. WHO TF CHARGES $350. Needless to say I walked out and will never go back to those scammers.

I never took my Supra for the free oil change - when it comes to these cars the further you are from a Toyota dealership, the better you are.

You are lucky you learned the easy way.

$350? Did they at least offered up a bottle of lube?
Stealerships will do what stealerships do

Two local ones here. One told me $250 or $243 to buy the stuff from them to do it myself. The other said $160 or $110 for the materials.
I was so annoyed I bought Quickjacks and the oil and did it myself. Lol

I just ordered a kit to change mine out coming up soon here and it was like $80 with shipping from fcpeuro. That includes filter/oil everything

Exact same thing getting delivered today for me as well.

The dealer I bought the car from since I got this thing used with barely 5000 on the odometer told me it had 1 more free oil change on it but I don't plan on using it. Just going to do it myself at work and swap over in the next 500 or so miles

dealers mark up parts. nothing new going on. the parts dept probably has bigger markup for gr supra related parts than standard toyotas. i doubt they're getting you on labor rate as that's pretty much by the book.

The price is pretty much the same in Germany, they wanted 350€ and 250€ for the spark plugs.

but the best thing is they wanted 750€ for changing the brake pads lol.

needless to say I did it myself and saved a lot of money ?

Aren't the free oil changes for 2 years from the date of purchase of a new Toyota? If you have a Supra older than a 2022, you're not qualified, right? Or am I missing something.
By the way, a dealership in this county charges $80 for a quart of diff fluid.

My car has never seen the Dealership again. I do the oil changes myself every 3k miles only use AMSOIL 5w30
