Guess it is true....


Recommended Posts

I remember hearing years ago that the Super Duty had to have its cab removed to do some work on it...I had my SHO in for a failed recalled part (got the recall notice 2 days after it was fixed! LOL) and when I picked it up, I saw this in the Service bay...I also just noticed the two non-Ford products in there too....I think Honda Minivan and a Lexus ES

Last time I was at my dealer's fast-lane, I saw a Prius and a Versa getting oil changes.

 

Must of been from the used car lot because who in their right mind would take their non-Ford to a Ford dealer for service? My experience at the so called "Quick Lane" has been anything but quick. I only take my Fords to the dealer for service when they are under warranty. Once the warranty expires, I don't go back to a Ford dealer until I am ready to buy another one.

Maybe the Ford dealer is either cheaper and/or more convenient for oil changes than other options.

My Ford dealer is cheaper for oil changes. Plus they ALWAYS have coupons making "The Works" (tire rotation / oil change) super cheap. Actually since I bought my car, I think I've only paid for maintenance once...and not even at full price. I either got them free or my Ford Owner Advantage Rewards covered it.

 

Granted, I sit on my butt for an hour and a half on a random Saturday morning. But all I'm going to do (as early as I normally go) is sit on my butt at home while my kids drive me nuts.

We do so many Toyota oil changes that we keep Toyota filters on hand.

 

Of course we have Motorcraft 5w20 in bulk at a GM dealership too! :) Not quite half the price of Valvoline 5w20, it was an easy choice.

. That was the one positive about having to drop 2k for a new clutch on my car, I got like 4 free oil changes worth of owner advantage points out of it.

Speaking of oil changes, the big used car shop in town is actually an early '60s vintage Ford dealer, the former Dave Smith Ford. It's largely untouched inside... the service lobby (down a half flight of stairs from the showroom) still has a wood shingle awning and Ford blue paneling, and the two main offices are each at the end of their own curving half-flight of floating stairs off of the showroom. It's a pretty unique time capsule. I've been taking ours there for lubes since the big Chevrolet outfit here jacked their prices from $22 to $39 literally overnight.
