2late4u Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 i have mentioned it before but would be good to mention it again, BEFORE buying or having any service work done check your dealership close to you, before having work done or buying parts as they all charge different prices and it could cost you quite a bit more if you dont,,, that said i was going to have my daughters jeep patriot trans fluid changed and after watching a you tube video on it i am not going to do it myself,so i called 3 different dodge dealerships and one was 230. one said it would between 200-300 wouldn't even give me a firm price and the one i am going with was 179 and also by the way it is the same dealership i have used for the last 15 yrs and they do great work, but such a difference in price... also this just a fluid dump and refill as the filter is actually inside the trans so it is not serviceable without removing the trans... the fluid is $25. a quart and takes 7 quarts according to the specs so actually the 179 is almost just the cost of the fluid.. and us journey people complain about having to changer a battery in a fender location. larryl, Armando G and jkeaton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 08-14 Sebring/ Avenger/ 200 folks complain just as loudly of the same battery location. Actually there is more working room on the journey than those afor mentioned! AND I've seen worse on some GM models. jkeaton and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted January 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 i have to admit the dealership i use is a great one, not quite as good as they use to be ,as they have all new service people there but still leaps and bounds better than the dealership that is closer to me,takes me about extra 20 minutes to get to the cullman dodge dealership but it is worth it. have been dealing with them for around 15 yrs now jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armando G Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Asking the same subject...I go an hour out of my way to go to a dealership or of my area for my Ford cars. They aren't as busy (or they're very organized), and they treat everyone very well. Good point made here ? 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhareFred Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I travel 30 mins to get to my dealer, Fields CDJR in Glenview,IL. They treat me like family, like I purchase a car from them every week! I didn’t even buy my DJ from them. Closest dealer is 5 mins away...... jkeaton, larryl and 2late4u 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
