When I called to book at the dealer the lady said "you can just go to Quick Lane". Despite my efforts to explain otherwise, I get the impression I'm down as an "oil change" rather than all the stuff they're supposed to check at 20k. I'm no mechanic so have no way of knowing if they've done what they're supposed to. Should I call again and ask fro clarification or am I wasting my time?

I remember going to dealer for oil changes on Hyundai. (great price and free car wash, buy 10 get one free oil changes...) They always said I needed a new cabin filter, parts and labor $97. I looked up online how to change, less than 5 minutes wwith watching video in there. Didn't need to change it until around 40k, even then it didn't look bad, still could see plenty of light coming through.

That's literally a quicklane oil change.

There is no "20k service."

The Quick Lane at my dealer does a lot more than oil changes. They do all the service. Its the warranty work that 'requires' the service department.

Quick Lane did the fuel system cleaner on my truck at 30k. Snake oil? Maybe, but now I have more leverage if/when I have warranty issues.
