yep, I take it to the dealer, and even then I don't trust them either.

Had a dealer use 5 quarts of engine oil for a 6 quart oil change.

Never went back to that dealership again, who also had the owners successfully prosecuted for fraud. .

I've had other incomplete or skipped maintenance from independents. . it's tough but it's worth the effort to find a service location which won't bs you, and you have to appear knowledgable . . . read a bunch of motor gear head sites, and you will slowly learn enough to appear informed.

I had a tire repair shop try to sell me extra tires, and I gave him a very technical explanation about tire wear, just from reading web pages over and over again. . . he shut up. .
