I basically have a warranty that i have to do the work myself and they will cover the cost of the part. I contacted FCA and they said they cant force a dealership to work on them since they are independently owned. I never heard of such a thing…and never would buy another Fiat/Chrysler product again. That said, the car is an awesome 1 of a kind experience. Too bad dodge can care less about their customers…especially the small number of people that own one of their flagship products |

The lack of a service option for your viper is a huge red flag and disappointing.

BMW's service levels vary by dealer. In general the SA's kiss your ass, but at the end of the day, it's really all about what tech gets your car. Also sorry to hijack!

Interesting discussion. At pretty much any dealership, the tech doing oil changes is not the same tech doing more in-depth repairs. It's typically going to be some kid with on the job training. I know I'll take more care with my car than the kid at the dealership when it comes to basic maintenance.

I don’t own one but guys in my car group don’t bring the GTRs to Nissan dealer bc nobody is trained on them properly at least around here. Has a problem changing coolant bc it’s different and they drained it before checking to see if it was in stock. Car sat for weeks waiting for coolant !

I changed the oil in my '22 M550 today for the first time....around 5000 miles. I will probably have the dealer do it at 10,000 but I wanted to do the first change sooner than 10,000 miles.
I was a bit surprised how much it held. After draining it and what was in the filter, I got out 11 quarts. I put in two 5 quart jugs and did the measurement. It was near the max and well above the minimum so I will not add any more at this time. Overall, it was a pretty straightforward job, really no different than any other car. |

1. Make sure the hood is closed and the ignition is off. 2. With your foot off the brake pedal, press the START button three times quickly. 3. Wait for Diagnostic Mode Active to be displayed in the cluster. 4. Hold down the BC or RESET button on the left side of the steering column or cluster until the service menu is displayed. 5. Press the same button to scroll through the menu until ENGINE OIL is displayed. 6. Press and hold the same button until the reset is completed. 7. Follow the screen prompts, you may need to press and release the button several times. |

That's not his lift, the OP has the lift. They run around $4,000, not really that bad or as expensive as you would think.

Of course, if you have a lot of life insurance or your relationship with your wife isn't the best, this may not be a selling point.

I paid $3,080 for the lift including having it shipped to an installer in 2018. I then paid $850 to have the installer bring it to my home and install it. I did my own electrical. I just checked the current pricing and DAMN! It is showing $5,235 + tax and free shipping for the Bendpak XPR-10AS-LP. For my location, that totals up to $5,654.08. That's nearly a 55% increase in price in four years.
