Thread: Service C

Not sure where you reside (you might want to include it in your profile), but if you're in the states, $170 is a darn good price for a Schedule C (providing that all of the same services were performed as they would be at a dealership.) A "once a year service" is not exactly correct. Like BMWs and some other cars, the service schedule indicator comes up depending on miles driven, how hard the car is driven, etc. For...

You're Welcome..... glad to help! Oh... by the way... don't do the $19.99 Jiffy oil change on your car, especially the early 3.5 liter engine or you'll ruin it; that engine requirement is 0-40W Mobil 1 oil only!

Hey everyone my car is starting to request a service C in 29 days what exactly is included in a service C? Also how much should it cost me? I have done services A's and B's but never C so is there something more or less that they will be doing. Also I have noticed more lately that when I drive with top up i am hearing alot of rattling is this something I can fix or do i need to let my service guy know.

GeeJay I'm confused too. I accidentally reset my service indicator and it also says Service C is next. I thought B would come up.
