RetiredChief Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Only one minor thing that cropped up. Developed a slight vibration in the LF tire around 2100 miles, 57-67 mph. So I took it in to have it checked. They rebalanced the fronts. That took care of it. Had the first oil change done and upgrades to Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic. $34 upcharge on the oil. No biggie. And had my DRL's activated. No charge. Getting consistent 23 mpg local and some highway driving. And 28-29 mpg on the Interstate with the cruise on 72. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. dj cowboy, rolly, bigtsr and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) I don't know if they do it in the US, but for $60 Canadian (that's about $47 in US funds) Costco does an oil/filter change with Castrol fully synthetic oil.

dhh3 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) My extended warranty covers oil changes, tire rotations and balance, wiper blades (1 set of front every 12 months) along with the rest of the car, with no deductible. So, I get what my Dealer offers. I finally rolled over 7,000 after a year + 1 month! Edited August 16, 2015 by dhh3 jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj cowboy Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 The dealers around se WI offer 4 oil changes for $80. At $20 a piece, you can't do it yourself for that! rolly, jkeaton and dhh3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kech Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 The good ol US of A we take up the hoop in Canada why? because we can its sad really that we dont get the options and coverage you do enjoy your Dodge It's really not that bad. All you have to do is to negotiate what you want to the dealer at the time of purchase. I negotiated 3 years of oil changes for free among other things. You need to work the system especially here in Canada. jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys forgot to include the cost of beer... dhh3, rolly and bfurth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfurth Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 You guys forgot to include the cost of beer... It was already in the refrigerator. Cost is negligible. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolly Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 How much is the restocking fee? dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfurth Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 How much is the restocking fee? $8.50 for the six pack, and it was only an hour or so of actual work. So, maybe $1.50. But I really only count the cost of beer when I have to provide it to other people for bigger work. Oil change/tire rotation (even with scrubbing out the back of the rims) is still just a 1 man job. Well, 1 man and a 5-year-old "helper." The beer is more for dealing with the helper than the work. rolly and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Don't forget your billable time running between work site and the can to recycle that beer. dhh3 and rolly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woah322 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 With the coupons from the mopar site or drive dodge app I can't believe the differences in price from dealership to dealership for the same services. jkeaton and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I drove my 2011 off the lot 4 years ago today and it still looks new with the only things replaced being 4 new tires and first set of brakes at 50,000 kms (31,000 miles) and 11.7 L/100km (20.1 mpg) with 95% city driving. Also today is our 52nd wedding anniversary. dhh3, rolly, jkeaton and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
