wow ripoff on the service charge. some workshops do that when you dont buy the parts frm them. eventually they'll find a way.

hows the G3 intake on your car, did you really notice anything different right before and after you had it installed?

Yeah, I had the same problem with my oil filter on my first oil change. I nearly broke the filter wrench before the thing broke loose. You don't need a gorilla to install a stinking filter.

The easiest way to remove the (any) oil filter is to use a band oil filter wrench………$3-4.00 from a NAPA store. I’m sure any auto part store carries it! It looks like this………….

GA333B, Wrench, Oil Filter, Band w/handles (2 7/8" to 3 1/4" filter diameter)

Yea when i installed the intakes i only had the car for 6 days

But i noticed a nice difference in power. Highly recommend the g3 intakes

As for the service, yea im pretty pissed off on that. Never thought to check my bike tool kit but i dont think i have that tool in it. Oh well...the k&n filter has a spot on it to put a socket for next time.

I agree that you got ripped off, but maybe the shop has a 1 hour minimum on all jobs. It is not that uncommon and $90/hr is not an overly high rate for a speed shop.
