But, you need to take ANY thing a dealer tells you with a grain of salt regarding service and repair. They are trying to make money off you. The other side of DIY is learning how to diagnose problems on your own.

I have noticed that, they tell me to replace something as a whole which might only need a bolt for example my oil pan gasket thank god was done right before I bought the car, the drain bolt was stripped by the previous owner I ended up just Rethreading it using a kit and works like a charm. No new oil pan!!! But yeah I used to think they were gods, I’m getting better at diagnosing but it’s much harder than the actual diys imo maybe it’s just me.
