Default Maintenance Required

I am at 14893 miles and the maintenace required light is constant. I talked to the dealer and it is a B@#$ sh%* $199 charge rotating tires, changing cabin filter checking wiper blades.

How can I get rid of this without going to the dealer?

the tire rotation reminder is deleted

thanks

actually that should include the oil change and air filter also at that price. if not thats one rip off dealer, the oil is Mobil1 at 0-20 @$7.99 a quart x 6 and oil filter for $7 and the labor do it urself, wiper refills at $18 for a pair and do not need to change ur cabin air, because it should have been done on the 10k service where they had to change it with the oil.

My dealer charges $99 for the 15k service. Very fair IMHO.

The cabin air filters are stupid expensive I agree. Just the filter is $50!
