I try to do as much of my car maintenance as possible to save money. Changing cabin air filter in our car costs about $60 at the dealer. I can buy the part for about $20 and it only takes 5 minutes to change.
Today, I got an additional savings of $5 on the part. It turns out if I order the part online and pick it up at the dealer, it only costs $15, instead of $20 if I walk into the dealer at purchase. I guess I save the parts person time by not asking questions when I pick up. However, if I need help choosing the part online, the parts person will help me choose the correct part. Thus, I don't understand the reason for the savings.
In this case, my is not to question why, but to order online and save when I buy.
For reference, this is not an extra trip either. I usually buy the part when I go in for an oil change, which I do at the dealer, since the cost is often about the same as buying the parts/oil and doing it myself.
This is not financial nor car maintenance advice. Please consult a professional advisor.
