fuck Subaru
>>28884874What's the issue? Those are pretty standard rates for a stealership. Maybe don't go to a sealership??? Also why the fuck would you buy one of those? If you think that's bad wait until you have to replace that tiny 2.4 after it gives up moving that pigfat beast.
>>28884874>be a retard>live in commiefornia>buy a fucking Subaru Ascent >can't change your own oil or rotate tiresYou deserve everything you got, and more.
what is stopping someone from rotating their own tires if they have a jack.
>>28884874It canβt be that hard to do it yourself.
>he went to the dealership for an oil changelollmao even
>>28884881You also need a jackstand or a second jack to do it properly.
>>28884874Go to valvoline oil change instead for fluid changes
>>28884880>>28884881>>28884882>>28884883>2023>30k miles>DIY say goodbye to your warranty
>>28884890You'll save enough money doing your own maintenance to buy a whole new car instead of needing to fight with them over the warranty.
>>28884890>inb4 aiOP would have to post his warranty info for us to know for sure
>>28884890It's brake fluid lmao what are they going to do inspect it and test it?>sir your brake fluid is suspiciously clean, we need to terminate your warranty immediately
>>28884874You can do all of that for under $250
>>28884906They'll say >oh, you have a brake problem? Well it says here the last time you had your brake fluid replaced at our dealership was 60,000 miles ago, get fucked.
>>28884874Oil + filter:$75Gear oil:$35DOT4:$25Anon, fuck man.
>>28884912And then you show them your maintenance records that you kept for this specific purpose. They literally give you a book for it.
>>28884903>>28884906>We hooked up the computer and the logs say you didn't change anything goyModern cars are full of techbloat, sensors, data logging, tracking, etc it would be incredibly easy for them to find some petty reason to deny you
>>28884903>>28884912>>28884914Look, here's the subaru warranty and maintenance booklet.https://techinfo.subaru.com/stis/doc/warrantyBooklet/2024_war_and_maint_041723.pdf
>>28884922>>28884920You're literally talking entirely out of your ass.
>>28884924
>>28884924>Service Facility not your personal garage.
>>28884890Goodbye warranty, they design you to last a day less than the quickest failing part anyway.
>>28884927>we wont deny you if you dont have proof, but if you dont have proof it's your word against ours and we 'may' deny you
>>28884929It is literally illegal for them to deny a warranty because of where you had the services done, could be the Subaru dealership, could be a chain lube shop, could be your "I know a guy". Doesn't matter.>>28884935So keep records.
Those seem like low prices.
>>28884940Let's see BMW prices at dealerships for the same things.
>>28884913Oil + filter:$45Gear oil:$17DOT5.1:$10Fixed that for you.
>>28884945That looks right for DIY on a smaller car.
>>28884929My personal garage is also my personal service facility. I'm not performing open heart surgery, it's an oil change: baby's first wrenching.
>>28884956Baby's first wrenching these days is changing your windshield wiper blades or topping off oil/coolant. I've had coworkers who bragged to me about that shit like they had just rebuilt their differential or something.
>going to the dealership for routine maintenance You should see what Mercedes charges for that service
>>28884938>It is literally illegalThey don't care lol. There are hundreds of stories out there about Subaru denying claims, and all of them involved DIY maintenance, even when people had records. You don't get it. They will move mountains to find whatever petty little reason they can to deny you. Doing your own work makes it incredibly easy for them to do. https://www.impreza5.com/threads/rod-thrown-at-52k-dealer-denying-5year-60-000-mile-powertrain-warranty-never-missed-and-oil-change-and-take-care-of-my-car.16962/https://www.subaruxvforum.com/threads/denial-of-warranty-coverage-by-subaru-of-america.190825/
>>28884952What? I do not. I'm not OP, I'm 'bama. I do that shit in a couple minutes and have never once paid someone to change fluids.You want to make fun of a brand for dealership prices, then you'd better be willing to compare with prices for the same thing from other brands.
>>28884945I assumed using OEM Subaru fluid.No gear oil at $8.5 a quart has the proper friction modifiers.
>>28884988>Taking it to the dealership is a waste of money, regardless of brandYeah, I definitely agree with that. But most of my car friends from HS are dealership techs (I was the only one who went to engineering school) and I know the prices in OP are cheap. It's just obviously disingenuous to say a brand is shit because of cheap dealership prices - obviously things are cheaper if you do them yourself but normies are told that their warranty expires if they don't do it at the dealership and they oblige.
>>28884881Somewhere to do it. Most apartments and businesses won't let you. You could drive out of town to the middle of nowhere I guess but that's still pretty likely the cops show up.
>>28884874Your pussy must be big enough to get side-by-side double fisted with leather work gloves on eith no prelube or warm up.At both angles.
>>28884886You can rotate tires with two jacks or one jack and stand if you want it to take more than half an hour instead of 10 minutes.Me, I do my rotations at every twice yearly oil change, and i have a 3 ton speedy jack, a 1.5 ton, and 4 stands. I get it done before the oil is finished.
>>28884874>inspect tires 29$the absolute state of NPC nu-males
>>28885107I live in a shitty ass apartment and I've wrenched on my shitbox and even got oil on the parking lot. no one has said anything. can't imagine if i removed a tire a squad of police would suddenly show up.
>>28884874so whats the problem where you need to replace all of the brake fluid and the gear oil in a 3 year old car? what is your problem? lol retard alert
>>28885172It's for rotating the tires, obviously. Not a big deal to you and I but I know plenty of people around 40 who can't take a wheel off.>>28885257I've lived in many states and cities. Some places don't give a shit even when there are rules. Other places rules are enforced and everyone feels superior for their rule-following prowess and will rat you out even if you aren't explicitly breaking any rules. People are strange.
>>28885353Still, I get being pissy about jobs that involve fluids that'll stain the concrete, or that require you to take half your car apart, but even if someone called 911 the moment you start loosening the first lug nut, you should be done by the time a cop gets there. Worst case, say you had to change a flat.
>>28885011What I'm saying is she shouldn't have bought a jewbaru in the first place as they are usgpmt+ bullshits weeblets just have very strange affinities in general
>>28884874Jesus fucking Christ I can tell by the thumbnail that nubaru is some sort if unhinged abomination. How do they keep getting uglier? Huger and huger grills with giant squinty headlights and bulbous body proportions. Its like they took that 2012 SpongeBob funny face episode as design language for their cars moving forwards.
>>28885621>nooo that car is LOWERED you LITERALLY canNOT drive it ANYWHERE without the bumper coming off when you drive over curbs for some reason REEEEEEEEEE now try driving this on the street. you'll be oh so disappointed when your precious Porsche scrapes on every small bump. not like youre old enough to understand
>>28884874>$30 to rotate tires
>>28885628
>>28884874Nigga you got jipped. You could've bought a jack and four jack stands, the fluids, the filter, and the 10mm wrench for the caliper bleeders and the 15mm (sometimes 17mm) wrench for the drain plug and still been less than what they charged you for. Probably wouldn't have taken as long eitherAlso how fucking old is your car you're really worried about brake fluid and diff fluid changes? If you don't got more than 80k miles on that bad boy don't even bother (this information might've been on ops pic but he's a faggot and I ain't reading allat)
>>28884947>Smaller carNigga you think you driving a pickup truck? That bitch barely holds 1 1/2 quarts of diff fluid and maybe 5 whole quarts of engine oil it's a fucking boxer engine thrown in an oversized bloated tick
>>28885672he's <30K on a commuter vehicle, def doesnt need to change brake fluid yetOP cum to one of our n/o/rcal meats and we will teach you how to not get scammed
>>28885709>Less than 30k on the clock>They sold him a diff fluid and brake fluid splash and fillLmfao
>>28885893Subaru diffs need fresh fluid they're always on unlike your gimmick "AWD"
>>28885902All diffs are "always on" unless the vehicle they are in is a 4WD with free wheeling hubs, you retard. Pic related, a manual hub, auto locking hubs exist too.
>>28884944nta, but out of curiosity I asked the dealership my nephew worked at how much they would charge for a service on my E46 M3, and they quoted around Β£1,200. Not sure if that included valve lash adjustments, but for that kind of price I should hope it'd come with a blowjob from the manager's wife.
>>28885902Nigga you have retard brain lmfao keep giving the stealership money I'm sure it will work out fine for you>Always onWhere the fuck does it "stop" on a normal car? The driveshaft just spins the wheels via fucking Bluetooth? Do you even know what a diff even fucking does? You are seriously fucking smooth brain top kek, high quality b8
>>28886063He was being slightly retarded. But surely you know what he meant - most "AWD" systems are 2WD and only engage the other half when slip is detected.30k is overkill though, I agree. I do 50k diff fluid changes, most people never do it at all.
>>28885902>always onholy top kek capped and saved. that's some good bait mate I'm gonna use that one in the future
>>28886077I know what he meant, the joke is he doesn't know what he meant anon. For me personally, I'm a 60k kind of man. That being said my mom's outback has 160k-ish miles. Hasn't been changed since at least 80k, maybe, if the buy here pay here changed it. I checked the plugs the other month and shined a light and the bore scope in there. Nice fresh translucent cat piss. It's fuckin good to go, no metal no issues. The transmission is gonna blow up, again, before the diffs need serviced. When I pull the drive shaft when the tranny blows up again I'm just gonna top it off with some jb diff additive most likelyUnrelated but that jb stuff is goated, swear by the jb shit. The oil additive, tranny, diff, the fuckin spray penetrating oil. That shit is leaps and bounds ahead of wd40 or lucas or whatever else you're using. Give it a try
>>28884971>There are hundreds of stories out therePost 100 then. I'll wait.
Going to the dealership for anything after buying the car is retard tier shit
