I had my 4 Runner in last week (Heninger) for service and I had them rotate my tires. Cost was $19.95.

Like my post ^ stated the tire rotation (my request not from dealer) was $19.95 AND my oil change was 'NO CHARGE'.

Same place (Heninger) 4x4 is talking about.

Maybe it's because my truck is black?

WTF is going on? Maybe they changed the price after I told them to go eff themselves? I dunno, but now that I think about it, they've never jacked me for $50 to change the air filter. They charge me ~$21 (or whatever the cost of it is) and install it free.
So I get cheap air filters, but expensive tire rotations.

Maybe 5 minutes from start to finish.

Same as the Civic, except there are 2 filters. The only PITA was emptying my glove box to do it.

Honda wanted an outrageous amount to do it, however, I will never service my car at a dealer again. Bought the filters at Partsource, they were exactly like the ones Honda wanted to sell to me for 100% more. Same brand, model, everything.

I haven't spent a dime in their shop yet ever since I bought my tires on that 4 for the price of 3 promo like 3 years ago. Every 10K I just drive in, watch them rotate it and I'm out in 15 minutes. I do all my mechanical work at another shop.

Not every vehicle has one. Depends on the model and year. My 07 GMC truck doesnt, but the earlier years 00-05 do.

I actually just replaced mine on our 2 VWs, was really easy to get at, took about 15 min all in, and the old ones were caked...

Best to change em probably once every year or maybe 2, depending on where you drive.

I will add it to my list of things to do and get to it sometimes in the next few months. haha

Considering that I have not had this come up when I take it in for servicing might mean I don't have one. I only say that because if they there was the potential to charge me I am sure they would have attempted it.

It is a 98 Dodge Caravan that I am going to drive into the ground before getting a new vehicle or the government will declare it a beater and pay me some money to get it off the road.
