A and B service special prices
For those of you in Arizona, Schumacher is advertising a $199 A service and a $299 B service special. They had a large ad outside in the pickup area yesterday with these prices.

is it posted online somewhere too ???
if so, you can print out and take it to your local dealer and ask them to price-match !!
it's worked at some dealerships before.
thanks for the tip-off....

A & B Service pricing
Hello, just wondering why $199 Service A and $299 Service B noted as special pricing. On House of Imports Buena Park, CA those were their regular pricing on their Service Brochure. Now, I'm waiting for them to send me 10% discount for any service. Just an info.

Agreed! As the oil I used isn't the exact approved oil, I'll be sending a sample out for analysis to see if it really matters.
I used 10-30 Valvoline Syntec and have 10K miles on it now.
Actually, it has burned much less than the Mobil 1 0-40.
Only had to add 1 quart in 10K miles.
I'll post it once it know if it
Next up is 5w-30 Penzoil Platinum.
Also not on the approved list but still a very high quality oil and $1 a quart.
The FSS says I still have another 2K miles to go.
Yeh yeh yeh....not approved...but c'mon as long as it's a very high quality synth oil and changed frequently, how much a difference can it make?
The analysis will tell.
UPDATE: Sent the sample to Blackstone

I had a B service done on the C55 a couple weeks ago at Phoenix Motors for $299. Free market competition is a great thing.

Might be worth a drive to Phoenix (live in Tucson 2 hours away). I just had A service done at Tucson Stealership which is owned by Chapman Auto Group which also owns a bunch of dealerships in Phoenix, and it was $250+. I noticed a charge for something like $7 for washer fluid!

again...
talk to the service manager, and let him know that a competing dealership offers these lower prices.
Ask them politely, that they can have your business if they offer a price-match, or heck even ask them to beat the price !
