If you buy parts or get your service done at the dealer, look on the dealer website first for coupons or service specials, I recently did this when I had to have new radiator and 45,000 and saved $150.00 with a 20%off coupon, plus there was a coupon for an oil change for $22.95 instead of $30.00.

Michael ,,, i am glad that you saved some money and thanks for the info,, it might help other members save money.. But on the same token with a little of our help and buying the radiator and doing the job yourself you could have saved a LOOOOT of money ..And $ 30 for an oil change is way too much

on our DIY section there are instructions how to do it yourself

wow 30 bucks for oil change these days, I buy the filter and oil for only 13 bucks. and it takes me 15 mintes to do my oil change. Prices seem to have gone up.

Local honda dealer here is 25.00 and speedee and jiffy lube is 35! Crazy expensive. Now I just DIY and it cost me 15 +/- on oil and filter.

Any time you can get a quality oil change for 25.00 is a great deal. Speedee and jiffy lube around here are 35.00 and who knows what kind of oil and filter you get. But they do wash the outside of your windows and try and sell you every service they have. LOL. I take my car to a reputable mechinic and they do it for 23.95 and check the whole car. No windows washed, but at least I know what I am getting.

guess Im still a hardcore DIYer walmart special oil changes here, supertech oil is $1.54 a quart and the supertech oil filter is $2.47. and I was surprised that my motor is running smoother with that combo than with the castrol/WIX I was doing.
