Oil change now $285??
Just called to schedule an oil change for my 996. A year ago, the dealer charged $160, which was bad enough. But I was quoted $285 for an oil change today. That's just an oil change. He wanted to charge me $360 to also do an "inspection" with the oil change (check fluids, computer codes, etc.).
Some lame excuse about the price of oil...
Anyway, I'm approaching the end of warranty in one month, so I would like a dealer to look the car over, but after that I'll be going elsewhere for oil changes.

I've taken my car to my local guy for all my oil changes, it's not going to invalidate your warranty. The only exception was the 15k and 30k maintenance.

Quoted $200 from dealer yesterday. New York prices stink. $11 at the movies the other night.
Yes, guys, I know, do it myself. Next time when it's not so cold out.

Thanks for the responses. If anyone else has any recent dealer oil change prices, I'd like to hear them. I'll use them to razz my service advisor!
