250 for an oil change on the GS today!!!
I did a triple take!! 
!!! I mean, it had been a while since i did one at the Chevy dealer and back then it was something like 100 bucks. Man, apparently the prices have gone up!!! Next time I do it myself. On a bright note ,the weather was great for a February day in the Northeast and there was a 1600 mile 13 ZR1 out back waiting for an oil change or something. Gorgeous car.

My kids learned how to do maintenance on our vehicles at 10. I'm always amazed when people go to the dealer for routine items & then get fleeced on top of it. My son bought himself a very nice 2-owner '03 Jeep Wrangler last year for his 14th b-day, and he's been modifying that as well so it'll be the way he wants it by the time he gets his license

11 qts of oil is ~$60, the filter is $10. OP got hosed. The only oil changes I ever get at the dealer are those that free & included in my complimentary maintenance programs. All others are done by me.

WOW.... It was the first thing my dad showed me how to do when I was 14. The next item on the list was how to change a tire. I still do the these things and I am 60. Thanks Dad.

I had a 2006 machine silver manual Convertible that I took to the dealer for the first oil change. They tore up the driver"s side rocker panel. After that, I started doing my own servicing. Six quarts of Mobil 1, 5W30 is about $35 at Walmart and $5 for the PF-48.
