I personally would NEVER take my car into the dealer for service unless it was absolutely my last resort if it was out of warranty...I would prefer to take it there, but I feel like I was bent over my service advisors desk everytime I leave his office...Just had it there yesterday for an update and he said I should get an alignment...I in turn told him that the car was tracking perfectly straight and I didn't think I needed one...He then told me that the x5 you wouldn't be able to 'feel' if it was out of alignment...I gave him a confused wtf look and asked how much...his answer...$325...I laughed at him and jokingly told him to go F&*k himself...He said that was the going rate...I laughed again and told him no thanks...

$325 for a damned alignment?!?!?! No offense to the mechanics on here, you guys do a great job most of the time for me, but the dealerships just suck...I put plates and screws into human beings and you guys make more than I do!! Its a joke....I mean, $450 for a filter and oil change?? Holy mother of god...I 'm just sorry for the people that can't do all the little things themselves
