>Any way to get good deals or save money when getting my car serviced at dealer?
Check out more than one dealer for your car brand.
Dealerships can vary wildly on price because some are operated as "stealerships" instead of as "dealerships". For example, in my area, there is only one remaining chevy stealership which managed to kill off the other competitors or make them move. Now, the next closest chevy dealer 12 miles away is about to die off too making this stealership even huger (it is very huge now). Ironically, this city has some slummy areas.
As an example of prices for routine items, my local chevy stealership charges $49.99 for the oil and filter change. Up the road about 36 miles in another city, they are $39.99 everyday since they post their coupon regularly and almost wave it in your face when you come there on a visit. My local chevy stealership charges $170 for wheel alignment while the other chevy dealership charges $68 everyday price (no coupon needed).

You can also check your car's problems ahead of time with an OBD2 tool. Knowing about the problems or non-problems can be of help in case the service writer tries to pull a fast one on you in order to boost monthly sales totals for incentive awards.
avoid dealership service or parts whenever possible lean what aftermarket parts are good find a local trusted mechanic, preferably one that specializes in your vehicle make learn2wrench

Here's what you do, take the money you were going to spend on the service, get a ok jack and super shitty tools and do it yourself. When a tool breaks replace it with something decent.
>hurr durr I don't have room Find a car park or just do it on your street.
