Took my car to the dealer for a complimentary annual maintence today.
They told me the cabin air filter was not covered and it needed to be replaced, they did show me a very dirty filter before asking if I wanted them to replace it.
I agreed in the moment to the $117 cost. I think it was about 50% parts and 50% labor.
But I've now looked it up, and it's an incredibly simple thing to replace and is a $20 part. So never again.
