Do you think Honda Dealership is trying to rip me off? (details in description)?

So last week I went to the Honda Dealership to get an oil change + tire rotation for my 2014 Honda Civic LX. It costs me ($70) for it. While I was in the waiting room in the dealership, one of the Honda employees approached me and carried 2 items. He said one was my A/C filter and one was my Enginer Filter. He told me that they were really dirty and I should consider getting a filter change, which would be $60 for engine filter and $50 for the a/c filter. I said no, but then I started to think about it and it seems strange because I only have 16,000 miles on my car. And I feel paranoid that the dealership probably took out my filters and replaced it with these dirty filters because i've noticed that i'm starting to cough more when the a/c is on (or maybe its because I have the flu at the moment). Do you all think that the dealership is trying to rip me off and do you think that they changed my filters with dirty ones?

I doubt that they would risk the name HONDA by switching out your filters. If they do need replacing, do it yourself for a quarter of what they were going to charge you.

I don't think that a dealership would pull a scam like that. However the price they charge is exorbitant. Nissan told my daughter her engine filter needed changing (which it did) and that it would cost $75. She told them no and I bought one at the local parts store for $7.99. It took me less than 5 minutes to change it.

  • Did you know that Philippines is so poor that if you own a car people will think you're rich? I live in the Philippines and I own a 2013 Honda Fit and I sometimes drive it when I go to the University, it's not even expensive. And my friends think I'm rich. Most people here only use underbone motorcycles for transportation, most families don't even own a car.
  • My car insurance is trying to rip me off? So I got into an accident before thanksgiving. A man did a 360 on the highway after losing control of his car. He then hit me, and now my 2009 Honda Civic is totaled. He's clearly at fault. Problem is my insurance is trying to pay only $11000 (this includes sales tax) to my 12K car loan. Leaving me with nothing. What can I do now?
