Ultimate Dealer GREED!

Dropped it off for the 3,000 mile check up. Minus the oil change. Picked up the bike yesterday. I'm still fuming! Half hour labor, $89.50, which is fine. Then the add ons. Shop supplies, $11.64. Credit card fee, 3%. If parts were needed, $3.00 freight charge. I questioned the shop supplies. I was told it goes toward the cost of the buds, rags, and any other incidentals. Freight? It costs us to get the parts shipped to them. I was lucky the bolt needed was for a recall, so no freight charge on that. And they wonder why they are called "STEALERS"!

If I had them change the oil and filter? $190 labor. $175 oil change kit. $365 plus, freight and tax. $392 for an oil change! LOL

How did you get away without an oil change?

Had the oil change by BAJARON when I was there. Thinking ahead. Less than half the price of the dealer!

Do your own oil change. It takes less than an hour (most of which time, you are waiting for all the oil to drain). Cost of the oil is around $30 and the oil change kit is $26, so it's under $60 bucks total.

I have no ramps. And I am too round, and old to try to get underneath. That and having to get rid of the old oil.
