15k recommended service

[2016YUKONSLT]

I have 32k miles on my 2016. I just called dealer today for a back up camera issue. I was just there 2 weeks ago and no mention of any recommended services. I call today and service guy says I need to have an air induction cleaning(18k miles recommended), have the transmission serviced(30k miles recommended) and then cabin filter(22k miles). No one has ever mentioned these services to me prior bugt he is trying to hit me with all 3 at once. They wanted over $300 for the air induction and trans service and $68 for cabin filter.

$68 for just a cabin air filter? I bought a K&N one off Amazon for $43 and it then came with a $10 rebate....and it's one that I can clean on my own and never have to buy another one.

I haven't been approached about the other services they mentioned and I have almost 33,000 miles on mine. I'm taking it in next week for an oil change so I'll see if they try to talk me into anything else.

Just had my 15K mile service done last week at Shumacher Chevrolet in Little Falls N.J. while I was visiting there..No upselling..They rotated the tires and oil change and I was on my way..They said the cabin air filter is good for 24K miles..So far seems okay.

They charged me for 9 quarts of oil..When I asked why 9 quarts when it only takes 8 they said in order to bring the oil up to the full line it took a little more then 8 but had to charge me for the full quart.

Total charge was 110 bucks for Mobil 1 0W20.

2016yukonslt, have them show you those service recommendations in your owners manual.

@2016YUKONSLT

the 'severe' maint schedule for trans serv. is 45k miles.
'normal' is 97.5k miles

does your dealer think you have a cobalt or malibu? lol

I'm curious why you guys are talking about "paying" anything at all when most of you are also mentioning you're under 24k miles.

These trucks have 2years/24,000 miles of included maintenance. So anything your dealer's service dept is trying to upsell, laugh in their face and tell them to **** off.

GM changed that on the 16's sometime last year. Only two oil changes now included in the maintenance and the 100K on the powertrain is gone on all trucks and suv's as well. I believe its 60 or 70K now.

Horrible up selling to the original poster. I'd find another dealer. "Throttle body and Battery service" WTF! I'd be pissed if someone even ATTEMPTED to sell me that crap!

I checked the service manual that says to have a 7500, 15000, 22500 service - looks like every 7500 miles, the shop handed me a sheet recommending a 20K service for $449 which includes regular service plus wipers, air filter, cabin filter, and this throttle body fuel injection: My question is why would dealer recommend something not in service manual

Did you read this thread. It is a Dealer gimmick to steal your hard earned money.

lol

Not everything that a dealer recommends is BS, but this particular recommendation is not a valid or worthwhile or cost-effective thing to do. If you actually had all those items performed they should cost no more than $150 total.

They handed you a sheet that THEY printed up.

As above, just trying to upsell you.

It's called a wallet cleansing service, wholly designed to keep everyone at the stealership fat and happy!

maybe you can print this off and show them at the dealer that you are on to them.

I guess they figure if you can shell out 70k for the car, what's 450.00 for a service, you do want to keep it in tip top shape.

On another note my buddy at work bought a new Harley-Davidson. To keep the warranty up you have to bring it in for it's 1000 mile service which costs 400.00 dollars. you most likely gave them all of your cash for a down payment and then a month later they want more.. My 2 cents

Since my 2016 Tahoe [25K miles] was due for tire rotation,cabin filter and oil change decided to take it to the Chevrolet,GMC Buick dealer..Since I have the extended bumper to bumper warranty I like the dealer to check the Hoe out every once in awhile as normally I go to a independent to change the oil..I was waiting for the service guy to come back and tell me I needed throttle body fuel injector cleaning,alignment and other up selling stuff.

To my amazement he came to me 35 minutes later telling me my Hoe was washed and good to go..Total price 150 bucks..They said they used Mobil 1 as I requested [hope they really did] as they said Mobil 1 is not needed and the cheaper GM Synthetic oil is good enough in the 5.3.

Seems a little high since you can buy gallon jugs of mobil 1 at Wally world and Ac delco oil filters which you can take with you to the dealer. Ac delco air cabin filter on Ebay is about $20 with free shipping and no tax. I do my own tire rotation which is free and I don't take a chance of the tire changer banging my expensive rims with the air gun which has happened before.

You are absolutely right and generally I do buy own Mobil 1 at Wally world and AC Delco filter and let my independent do it the bulk of the time for 10 bucks.

Dealer said [all dealers so far said the same thing to me forever] if you bring your own oil they are going to still charge you full price.

This is only the second time the dealer serviced the Hoe in 25K miles..I change out every 5K..I just wanted to see if the dealer would come up with any issues..It will be awhile before I go back there again.

OK now I understand. I just don't like to see forum members or actually anyone get ripped off by the dealers. And you mentioned it the old throttle body and injector service. These forums are great for helping people and I wish more would join as we could save them a lot of money. Think about how many customers walk into the parts department and pay full retail when all they have to do is go to ebay where dealers compete against each other on pricing and usually offer free shipping and no tax.
