I figured that much. I was just hoping to find a dealership with a good service department. My Ram dealership in town is terrible. Dishonest as can be! They also are the local dealership for Toyota. Thirty years ago we purchased a new Camry Wagon from them. When taking the car in for a simple oil change, was told I needed a new water pump and starter. I knew I didn’t. Car worked fine for the next eight years before I needed a new water pump. They are notorious for recommending parts and service you don’t need.
Thanks so much for the recommendation! Placerville is about a 100 miles south of where I live. I have a nephew that lives in Placerville, so I could kill two birds with one stone and turn my trip for an oil change, with a visit with him. I’ll keep Thompsons in mind.
I’m not sure if it’s too much or too little. I pay $135 for an oil change on my Lexus rx350 at the Lexus dealership. There’s an independent shop in town that specializes in Lexus and Toyota that charges me about the same amount. I used to take my Lexus to them but stopped because they were always saying I needed a new battery, wiper blades etc. I found my Lexus dealership is very reputable. They only recommend parts and service I absolutely need. I’ll call a couple of Ram dealerships and see what they charge.
Cheapest I can get a PUP/mopar filter package on Amazon for my 6.4 is $60, so I guess it’s just a matter of if it’s worth the $20 to have have the dealer change it for them.
