how is this price for service @ dealer?

needed some stuff done last weekend on short notice as i had a long drive coming up, and the friend who's garage i usually use was doing some work on his car.

got the following done:
oil change w/ filter
wheel rotation/balancing
4 wheel alignment
transmission fluid change

all for $200

seemed pretty reasonable to me

Not the hottest deal on the planet, but pretty fair.

If it is a Honda with a transmission fluid drain plug, it isn't a great deal at all. But if they had to remove the pan, that isn't bad.

if you went else where...

4 wheel alignment...$75
oil change (no coupon)....$30
wheel balance/rotation...$15
tranny flush...$150 (a real one, not just let teh fluid drain).


It's not bad....especially for a dealer.

its a manual w/ just a drain plug, incredibly simple to do if i had the time/space

for $200 i would do it at the dealership if i didn't have time/ space and etc very easily... i think most independent shops cant compete with $200 for all that.

Best price i've ever found was
$22 for the oil change.
$49 alignment with a $25 coupon
$40 rotate and balance wheels (well i asked for balance but its the same )
$99-$129 ATF drain/fill or ATF flush... you mention manual.. i never did a clutch bleed...

these are all diffrent places and these were hard to come by... now its a lot more.

Doesn't sound too bad. Can't imagine too many non-dealers doing any better than that.

It's a competitive price, you didn't get taken for a ride.
