$29.95 for an oil change and tire rotation at the Dealership? Yeah, okay. Two options: 1) Your first oil change was free and this was the cost of the tire rotation (it was over $40 after taxes at our Honda dealership for our "free" oil change + tire rotation). 2) That coupon was the "Edmunds" coupon. Sorry, but an OEM filter + Mobil 1 would be $30 at wholesale cost alone. That's no markup and free tire rotation at $30. Remember how we were making fun of $150 first visits. Yeah...
Actually, $30-$50 sounds about right. $110 for an oil change and tire rotation is outrageous, particularly on a mass market brand like Nissan. It's really not defensible when it's Porsche either, but at least it makes a kind of sense that a company that charges $500 for options that should be standard on a $80k+ vehicle would get $110 for an oil change.
$40 is the going price for a tire rotation at Honda/Acura service centers. Just so you're aware, you can try negotiating this cost. My tires from WheelWorks come with free lifetime rotations, so I told the advisor if he can do the rotation for $20, otherwise I'll take the car to WW for the free rotations. That day, I felt lazy and was willing to pay $20 to avoid going to a second location.
