i'm due for another maintenance at 22.5 k
i think its an A1. can i get this from a non dealer mechanic shop instead since its just oil change anyway. dealer charges way too much over 130bucks n take too long.

 

Did you really pay $130 for A1 service? To my knowledge, A1's are only an oil change/tire rotation. The dealership that I go to charges $34.95 for it. I didn't feel like waiting all day for an oil change, so I just got my service done last week @ 18.6K mi., at a regular car maintenance center. They changed the oil (5w-20)/filter, and rotated the tires for $26. Afterwards, I personally reset the maintenance minder on the MID.

So I think you'll be fine.

According to "The Book":

A = Change Engine Oil
1 = Rotate Tires.

That's it. Although most of use will also change the filter and have other fluid levels checked (gratis).

Further Maint is NOT mileage based, except for a few exceptions. IOW - Just follow the MID.


"The Book" also says:


Remember, it's YOUR car. YOU tell the service center (dealer, indy, whatever) the work YOU want done.
