in dealership now
#11
I was finally getting my free fuel tank from the recall, then I had them try to "calibrate" my stepper motor only to find out it can't (or they won't) be calibrated cause its not a "land rover" part. $99 diagnostic fee. Oh and they did a free inspection, ended up with a $3500 quote.
Thats more than what your truck is worth!

Back in October, I went in to get some bulbs for the dash, and they offered me a free inspection. I was headed to the movies with the girlie, so for ****s and gigles I said "Sure". Came back after the movie and the guy had a printout that looked like the prelaunch checklist for the space shuttle. I just smiled and said "I wonder if she'll even make it home".

I guess I'll have to consider myself lucky - when I first got my Disc I ventured by the closest dealership to me to pick up some compression washers for oil changes. When I told the guys about me being new to the Rover family but, for the most part I was going to do my own maintenance, one of the service techs came into the parking lot with me and went over the whole truck with me (everything except electrical diagnostics) and said - just like any other dealer our parts are high our labor is higher but you have a nice truck, come by when you need us. I had them do my transmission fluid/filter change because I did not want to fool with it - after they put it up and pulled the cover they came and got me and went over the whole undercarriage (location of all the integrated parts and such) showed me the old filter/inside of the trans/pan. On occasion I've stopped by to ask a technical question and they just send me over to the techs.
Guess what I mean is these guys impress me as genuinely nice guys. Like they said they aren't cheap but at least they are friendly.

Dealers are picky, they must use only approved parts just like Burger King must only use Burger King burgers.
I am lucky that at the Volvo dealer the parts guy runs a used parts shop out of his garage.
So I go in for a new drivers sunvisor for $120 and come out with a perfectly good "new" one that I paid $40 cash for.
Pretty sweet if you ask me.
