In my spare time I quite enjoy tinkering and fixing stuff so DIY car maintenance is just another thing I enjoy.

Even if I didn't to do it in the dead of winter, any shop indy shop that charges $20 for an oil change will likely change the oil for you for that $20 especially when you're providing your own oil and filter, so still less than the dealer.

And I'm commenting very simply because there will be people out there who may wish to DIY but think okay the dealer price isn't that bad, but now they will see the maintenance plan isn't that much of a value. It does however offer peace of mind if that's what some people are after.

Anyways happy driving
