$191.53

took my 2012 rts in for service, had the engine oil and filter and transmission filter change ,
had belt tension adjusted,and had the antifreeze level checked for winter. :spyder2:

the bill came to $191.53 .:yes:and they checked for any new updates. they have always treated me right from the day I brought my bike from them, they always go out of their way to help their
customers .

They are (Lakeside Motor Sports) in Mecosta ,Mi.
The salesman told me that their service dept. is what always brings customers back and brings new one in to buy their machine and he said I was now one of their can am family member and
they would treat me right, their can am technician is very knowledgeable and go out of his way
to help you,he know these bike inside and out..:thumbup:

that is a very good price

Shoot, I'd pay that price for labor alone around these parts.

A dealer with an excellent Service Department is worth his weight in Platinum! :thumbup: nojoke
:congrats: on having one!

Although that is a great price for Spyder service the pathetic thing is I can get the same service on my Toyota plus tire rotation for $39. :banghead:

So true, it is crazy what they charge for these services.

Not a bad price at all, my dealer would charge a minimum of $300, thankful that I bought a ppm on mine.

wish that was Lakeside California..!! Most of our rydes start from there....:thumbup:

Should only drive your Japanese Toyota then. Leave the riding to rest of us !!

Compared to what most of us have to pay to have our :spyder2:'s serviced--you got a good deal. Also helps when the servicing gets it right and knows what they are doing. These days, any :ani29: dealer with a good service rep is a good draw IMO.

Yes, it costs less to have the same thing done on a car--but we drive :spyder2:'s for different reasons.

Sure, but a lot of that goes into parts as well.

Don't forget, if you get all BRP suplly, the filters and fluids are around $80.

I agree. The price to have your Spyder serviced seems on a par or better with other Spyder service, but Spyder Service is more expensive than a car.

Geez, try getting work done on your boat !

I guess the difference here is they have to take half the bike body parts off to do most work , and that is a pain. :popcorn:
The Toyota not so much.

:agree: . . . if your dealer had to pull the left front quarterpanel off your Toyota for an oil change, the oil change would cost a tad more! :roflblack:

My dealer down here in Ocala FL. said it would be 950.00 to 1000.00 for my 15000 mile service.

If you have the valve check done it can be that range ( a little on the high side actually) but quite a bit of the honest dealers say the valve check is not needed it they need adjusted you can tell without tearing it down.

They are quoting you for the valve check--about $600-$800 extra depending on your dealer. I have had two of them done--on two different machnes. 2008 @ 12,000 (recommended at that time), 2010 @ 28,000 miles. Neither :spyder2: required any adjustment at that amount of miles.

I feel I am out $1600 for preventative maintaince that was not required. The new 2014 RT--requires no valve checks.

It is your call as to whether or not you wish to go along with it. I also know that there are some dealers out there that may charge for the service and not do it--because they know they can get away with it. I do not know if your dealer is one of those.

I have a boat, as well as my Spyder, and the same thing. In Ohio, you have to pay the mechanics year round even though the season is about 8 months (if your lucky) for a motorcycle and less then that for a ski boat.

What sucks is all the people who COULD take their boat/motorcycle in for service during off-peak periods, but wait to get service till the dealer is busy. So on top of the high prices - you have LONG waiting periods.

You get used to it - but it still sucks !!

:2thumbs: :2thumbs: My dealer, R/T Sales in Zulu, IN is also fair, honest & very, very reliable. Todd the service tech is beyond competent & is always proactive in his work. They are also a sponsor (Spyder City) so I trust them with all my work & highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an excellent dealer. Keep up the good work R/T.
