im sure plenty of you guys have had your 3,500 mile service im just trying to get a ballpark idea of what the dealer charged you for the service before i take mine in. i went from a toyota tundra which was always around $40-60 for service. thanks

 

Not quite sure what you mean by 3,500 mile service. The only thing you need to change that early is the oil and filter at 3,750.

 

I'm taking mine in today actually. I think the only thing you do is an oil change ($39). Tire rotation isn't until 7,500 which is $29 or $39 w/balancing. So basically all you're doing is an oil change. I'm going to balance and rotate my tires though, trying to get the most out of the stockers.

 

I didn't think that you could rotate the tires on the G? Anyway, it should be around $40 for the first service

 

I beleive they are staggered but not unidirectional...right?

 

If you have the S model you can rotate them side to side, but NOT back to front.

 

Yeh rotate side to side, they are not directional tires especially since the sizes are do not match. I'm just getting my oil changed, tires are wearing in fine so I'm going to wait another ~1500 to balance/rotate em.

 

rotating them side to side will do nothing for you. you are not changing the contact patch at all. its a waste of time. Unless you are removing the tires themself and switching them from rim to rim. but you cant do that with the re50's as they have an outside and inside...

 

I paid $26 w/ coupon for 3750 miles service.

 

coupon? what coupon! haha

 

My first service was free

 

what coupon? could have saved 10 bucks.

 

I got the first 3 oil changes for free. I know people have gotten much better deals than that. I'm surprised you guys are paying for it already.

 

I got my first 2 oil changes, and first ding repair free.

 

wow, my dealership's charging $39.99 for an oil change, which is fine. But the tire rotation costed $90
