where do people get their servicing in socal besides the dealerships?

 

not sure what year your car is but servicing is free for a certain amount of time. I know I received a nice surprise when I was getting ready to pay and my service adviser told me its free

 

I use Scott's Motors in West Los Angeles.

Very honest, great work.

 

never heard of scott's.

 

is first service free at 10K miles?

 

how much does a typical service run if paid for?

 

does the ctek or oem bentley battery tender plug right into the power outlet in the trunk? can you close the trunk with it plugged in?

 

i believe you can plug it right into the trunk...i happen to use a battery tender and the dealership hard wired it...still able to close the trunk but if you leave the trunk open, the light will automatically shut off after a few min

 

service is free for the first 3 yrs of warranty...the problem is after 3 yrs...

 

if it's hardwired to the battery, it should still have the cable/wire. so, are you closing the trunk on the wire?

i have one hardwired on my lambo, but only latch the "trunk" and don't shut it all the way.

 

after the warranty is up what are the typical services like? 1k a pop or so?

 

I just went to the Newport Beach dealership, car (05 GT) is due for a 4 year and 5 year service, new tire monitors, tune up, oil change. Will cost a little over $4,000. I am also looking for alternative options, just for consideration. Any advice? Thanks!
