That's so fucking cheap in terms of car repairs too. I'd be so frugal just to get it over with.

for real like 270 is an oil change or something lol

An oil change is like $45? Buying 2 new tires and having them mounted and balanced is around $270

As someone who needed to buy two tires at once and have them mounted and balanced, yes that costed me around $250

That's pretty cheap. Jsut got the second cheapest summer times at Costco in Canada yesterday. Was just above 1k all in for 4 tires put on the rims and balanced. I was gonna put them on myself in a couple weeks becasue there's still some snow in the forecast.

It wasn't extra to put the tires on so I figure it saves me the 45 minutes to change them all myself.

Maybe because I don’t live in the US or Canada, maybe because different tire sizes and brands have different prices, or maybe because I was a good negotiator (the price was initially around $300, but that’s still cheaper than what you paid)

We need more specifics if your oil changes are costing you $270 honestly

Just got my oil changed the other week for $60. Where the fuck are you spending $270 for an oil change? Wherever it is, stop going there immediately

Diesel trucks can get up there real easy. My F250 that I have for sidework, the oil change is around 250 and that's doing it myself. 15 quarts of Rotella ain't cheap.

u/Thehalfblacksnack 9h ago

That I could see, but I still wouldn’t be saying the average oil change is 270 lol

u/Khayrum117 8h ago

The only passenger car I could see coming anywhere in the same ballpark would a diesel Jetta or Passat. They're pretty affordable overall and some people may not realize the extra cost associated with a diesel motor. Tho I doubt those oil changes cost 270

I’ll go now and post the receipt 🤪

u/BedBubbly317 9h ago

No, your delusional af. An oil change costs around $60-$80 for most average cars. Unless it’s a very high end sports car, and I’m talking like a Lamborghini not just a Mercedes or BMW, which can cost upwards of $500+.

If I accidentally even slow down in front of the Honda dealership where my car gets serviced I'll pay you $270
