On November 4, 2017 I took my friends 2009 Chev. Equinox with 15, 000 Km. in for an oil change. Immediately upon the hood being opened, the "mechanic" tore out the cabin air filter. He said it needed to be replaced, but upon checking it against the outside daylight, it was virtually as clean as a new filter. I told him it was fine but he insisted it needed to be replaced. He then proceeded to check the undercarriage of the vehicle and stated; "The rear portion of the vehicle needs some touchup rustproofing. He had a special price of $109.00...regularly $139.00. I told him to forget it. Finally he got around to checking the oil dipstick and said the oil was OK and didn't need an oil change. I asked about the engine anti-freeze temperature range and he said they're all guaranteed up to 100, 000 Km. ????? So it cost me $81.35 for a cabin air filter that sells at the dealership for $32.95. Goodbye Mr. Lube... your days are certainly numbered !!!
