Interesting story today. Has anyone been charged a lot more money for a quoted scheduled maintenance service?
With all these backorders, I called my local dealership the other day to find out how much it would cost for my fuel filter replacements. They have my VIN because I have done service there before and they told me it would be $303. I was like, done deal! I scheduled it and came in today to have service done. Signed the $303 estimate and did the filter change and a recall... When I went to pay the invoice it was $474. I was like ummmmmmmmmmmm what happened here? And the guy tries to tell me the original quote was just an "estimate". Anyway long story short they went down to $430 and I figured it was still an OK price so I didnt argue further.
Still, never have I ever seen something like that happen before on a preventative/scheduled maintenance service. Repairs, sure...
