Recently my brother went to the BMW Dealer and was recommended a slew of services. One was a Cabin Air Filter service for $414. Wondering how they could charge so much for what SHOULD be a simple job, I bought the filters myself and tried to figure out why the service was so pricey. We also get an update on the Cadillac Escalade Project and meet up with Rich Rebuilds and his sham LS Swapped Tesla.

The reason it costs over $400.00 for the cabin air filters; the fancy dealership waiting room, latte machine and leather couch.

Sam, you are just a breathe of fresh air. I also own a farm, am obsessed with rebuildable cars and despise,,,,,,, being ripped off. I love you and your approach. We need more step Mom too. Always great to see her getting her hands dirty.

I agree with that sometime dealers and even repair shops try to overcharge for things like air filter changes but then once in a while it is the other way around. I have 2017 Jeep Trailhawk and got lucky when at the shop I brought it to for an oil change offered a special to install either the cabin or engine air filter for just the cost of the filter (~$15.00). Knowing how easy the engine air filter is to install I opted to have them do the cabin filter. I watched the mechanic struggle with having to dismantle half of the dashboard to get at the cabin filter taking almost 1 hour to complete the whole job. I ordered the engine air filter (~$ 10.00) while waiting for this job to be done, received next day and it took about 10 minutes to install… think I made the right choice.

you didn't vacuum the floor mats afterwards... that's why it's 400$ more at the dealership. True story.

I'm surprised the filters don't require a monthly fee.

I used to teach in the IT sector, once we did an experiment where we weighed out how much ink came in each replacement cartridge. We concluded a 55gal drum of ink would retail for over $250,000 and it cost them....$450 to harvest from dye bearing trees in the Amazon. This is on par.

Great seeing the banter between you and Rich. Love when he makes appearances on your channel Sam. Keep up the entertaining videos!

I'm surprised you found a hybrid BMW that actually ran long enough to need an engine air filter.

The person(s) responsible for butchering the Escalade's seat belts should go to jail. The company that repaired them is an impressive operation.

This has to be one of you best videos' when it comes to the disparity between dealership pricing v work effort. They didn't get the rather unfortunate name of a Stealership because people are mean.

I've been watching Rainman Ray's Repairs for a while and something that I've found interesting is the time estimates for repairs. When he's diagnosed a problem he looks it up in a database and there is a description of the job and a time estimate. From what I understand this is used by insurance companies when deciding if a repair is to be approved or not. It also sets the price that the garage can bill the insurance company for the job. Most of the time this time estimate is way high, sometimes more than four times the time it takes Ray to perform the actual repair. It's quite a difference in cost when the database says a job will take four hours and it can be completed in one or even less. It would be interesting to see what that database says about these service points for that particular car.

I had a Honda dealership take my wife for $120 for a cabin air filter. I had a nice conversation with the service manager. Needless to say, I was not happy.

We had a similar issue with our local Hyundai dealer. The rear hatch shock supports were quoted at $495 for replacements. I bought two for $20 and it took about 10 minutes to replace both of them by myself. Not sure where they came up with the other $475 charge. Robbery for sure.

Love when you guys get together, it is funny for days. I really think the both of you should create a channel and call it "youtube funnies".

I'm surprised the air filters didn't need to be coded to the VIN with a dealer level computer
