Magnetdropout Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I just scheduled my 15,000 Mile Maintenance Service appointment and I was told that it would be $189. I thought it would be covered since its under the warranty. All they're doing is changing my oil, alignment/balancing tires, cleaning my breaks and dusting the calipers. Is that right?

lfdal Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Regular maintenance is never covered, unless you've purchased the Maintenance Warranty. Manual says: change oil and filter, inspect (doesn't say anything about cleaning) pads, rotors, boots. Inspect brake lines, check parking brake, and "service" brake system <-Whatever that means....(I've never seen a dealer "clean" brakes all on their own) Also inspect clutch, inspect steering and suspension, rotate and inspect tires. It doesn't say anything about re-balancing the tires either, at least not in the manual So its up to you to judge what its actually worth......... without a lift it takes me about 1.5 hours to do that on my OBW. Most of the time is spent rotating the tires. Granted I've got an automatic so there's no clutch to inspect. I expect you young guys with healty backs can shave some time off that....

blackfang Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Maintenance is a responsibility of the owner and you are expected to maintain your vehicle for warranty coverage of those components. You could have purchase a prepaid maintenance plan through your dealer, but you probably told them no, when they offered it to you. For the 15,000 mile service is basically Oil change Rotate tires Adjust Emergency Brake Inspections It is a great idea to have an alignment performed every 15,000 miles though.

Magnetdropout Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Oh gotcha. The guy on the phone didn't explain all of that. He just said what I stated. I guess it was because he was busy. So it's probably worth it. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
