Stop looking. Call Chris. There is a reason he doesn't advertise here. He doesn't have to.

My car was at 1,500 miles so I took it in for an oil change to flush out whatever was left in during the manufacturing process. Just an oil change. No fuel treatment. No inspection. Just an oil change. They charged me $425 including 2.6 hours of labor.
I understand the dealer trying to maximize revenue. But I feel really bad for the tech who has to claim it took him 2.6 hours to do an oil change. That has to beat down his self-respect over time.

He said - Hello, My services include parts and labor together. I don't provide labor only services for general maintenance items. There are several shops in Houston that do this type of service, and may be a better fit for you. Thank you and have a great day.
Replied back and said sure, how much would it be with parts and labor then, I can return the parts..
He never replied back..

I find it hard to believe the 5 year maintenance service would have only cost $460 + tax from the dealer. That means you paid even less than that since yours was prepaid. I say this because I purchased a 2nd year (or 20,000 mi) and 3 year (30,000 mi) prepaid maintenance for about $1000 each. I know full well I overpaid but it was worth not having to worry about any maintenance for 3 years and also rolling it into the cost of the car.
Can I ask how much you paid for your prepaid maintenance for 5 years so maybe we can gauge how much the prices have increased?

When I call it goes straight to voicemail.
Did I say something wrong? I mean I am sorry for buying parts...didn't think it would insult him?
