And this is why I HATE taking my car to the Stealership!
I scheduled my CX-50, with 5,500 miles on it, for its first “complimentary” oil change. When I booked the service, I also requested a tire rotation. At the last minute, something came up, and my wife had to take the car in instead.
The service writer told her that the tire rotation wasn’t normally included in the complimentary service, but he’d “throw it in.” I even told her ahead of time to just pay for the rotation if necessary.
The night before, I marked both front tires with a yellow paint pen. And when we got the car back? The invoice claimed the tires were rotated front to back—but guess what? The yellow dots were still right there on both front tires. Unmoved. They didn’t rotate a damn things!
If I had been there, I would’ve raised absolute hell on the spot. Now it feels a too late—but I’m furious. This is basic, routine service, and they either flat-out lied or just didn’t bother doing the work. Thank God I didn't have to pay for it!
And now I have to ask the obvious: How the hell do I know they even changed the oil
