Lambo service: $4k for filters and fluid !?!

For comparison DIY on my 308.
Oil change.... 2 Hours
Fuel filter.... 2 Hours if your lucky
Air filter..... 1/2 Hour
Cabin pollen filter....4 Hours
diff fluid...... 4 Hours
tranny fluid...... Same 4 hours
spark plugs....... 2 Hours
I just installed a new fuel pump...............6 hours including fabricating new plumbing because the original pump was not available. Took 2 weeks just to get the correct parts.

 

Don't believe everything you see on Youtube. While it may be true he paid $4k, there's A LOT of young guys on Youtube with expensive cars competing for clicks and ad revenue. Much of what you see is exaggerated or outright fabricated.

 

+1

 

30k mile service is usually a fairly big one...$4k might not be out of line. but if so they did more than oil and filters, I'd think.

 

Especially with that kid.....has become a click bait channel

 

One year annual service on a 458 is about $1200-1400.

One year annual service on a Alfa 4c: $220

I'm guessing pulling the plugs on a Lambo ain't cheap.

 

Just how much money could these jokers actually earn from such videos?

 

There is a lambo sub forum here BTW

 

Thank God I bought a Ferrari instead of one of those exotic Italian cars

 

From what I have heard, if the views are from first world countries, it is like 5 cents a view for these channels with hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

 

The original list is a good mass of services. Plugs are plentiful and hidden and much needs to be removed to access drains. Then reassembled. 4K could be right on.

If OP is basing ownership and using youtube as his experience, its the wrong level of car and he'd be politely asked to leave my shop. Never a win with the 'well, I went online and...' crowd. Especially when he bill comes after already agreeing to services and prices

 

$1200 for an annual 458 service?? That sounds like a bargain.

I just did a service on my Exige (brake/clutch fluid, coolant flush, tranny oil, plugs, wires, oil, air filter, and the usual "check this-or-that") for around the same price.

 

Best comment on that video:

"RaFi TV jr garage is more gay than mo vlogs"

I've watched numerous videos from both channels, and it's hilarious

 

Why is this not posted in the Lambo section?

 

Good catch.
