2009 Dodge Ram 1500: First Service

Our 2009 Dodge Ram requested its first service right around the 3,000-mark. We'd just driven her cross-country, so some fresh oil was the least we could do. A lube and filter set us back $39.82 at La Brea Chrysler Jeep.

We called for an appointment the day prior, waited about 30 minutes while the service was performed and were on our way. Based on this visit we'd definitely use this dealer again. But the next time we'll swing by Starbucks before subjecting our taste buds to its sub-par house blended coffee.

that's a badass angle for the ram. Makes me want to get one.

A reasonable price and a quick turn around? How unusual.

I don't own a Chrysler vehicle, but I used to live in the Miracle Mile area, and I always thought that this looked like a nice dealership. Tons of stuff within walking distance, and possibly the biggest open-air service building I've ever seen...

Sure their coffee isn't top notch, but Starbucks does a crappy job when they change your oil, so it all even's out.

Rocking pictures, Dude………
I would love to ride is 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 myself.
Especially since I am as well getting Bluetooth and a surround-sound audio system with hard-drive-based digital music storage with 310 horsepower, 20 inch chrome clad wheels & Hemi V8 engine.
