My husband asked them how much it would cost to replace the air filter and they told him $90.
My husband took our car to the dealership for our yearly repair inspection, but i don’t mind taking the car to the dealership when needed, but I try to avoid it as much as possible. I dread listening to the employees speak about replaces and service packages. It’s never easy. I wish I could pull in our car, kneel in the waiting room quietly until our car was diagnosed, and then leave, and however, I find myself spending at least 40 minutes listening to someone go on and on about everything that’s wrong with our car and why it needs more servicing, then my husband doesn’t mind listening to the lectures and he’s always patient and kind, but while he was there last time, the professional told him that the air filter needed replaced; The filter was covered in black dust and they couldn’t tell how long it had been installed. My husband asked them how much it would cost to replace the air filter and they told him $90. When he asked how much it would cost to simply purchase the air filter, they said $30! Upon hearing this, our husband purchased 2 brand modern air filters and brought them home, for $60, he replaced the air filters in both of our cars. He was able to remove the old air filters easily and have the modern air filters installed within an minute. He was able to save us $120 by doing the labor himself. I’m so gleeful our husband took our car to be diagnosed instead of me!
