I agree. I'll have my first 1000 mile service soon and had no idea what to expect cost-wise....."customer to pay 24.95" seems pretty clear cut....I would have thought that it was perhaps a perk from the original sale or something.
It often is. I have seen it promised, then after the sale they pretend that it was not promised. I have had to fight for my perks before. Once that paper is signed, they don't really care if you get your perk or not.
I still vote "keep it". They can afford it better than you and it was not even your mistake. (Keep in mind, my bias is from the times that they burnt me).

We could turn this thread into "the time the dealer burnt me on my scheduled service"...
My buddy, who wanted to run synthetic in the bike, researched and spoke with folks and found the oil he wanted to run. It was a good high grade synthetic, that wasn't for sale at the stealer. So he took it in for the 5000mi scheduled maintenance, handed them the bottles of oil and they agreed to use his oil and charge him accordingly, subtracting the cost of their oil from the bill. The synthetic gear oil he chose was red in color, the harley non-syn crap is yellow.
The next oil change, he does it himself, drains out the oil and guess what, it's yellow!! The fuc'in crooks pumped in their bulk oil and probably kept his expensive syn for themselves.
I hate a crook, especially one that uses a business as a guise.
The only problem I see would be have a bad relationship with your dealer now even tho they made the mistake. And asking for the money 6 months later...that's way too late aha.
Is there other dealers where you live? Have you been going to that dealer for a long time?
If you pay maybe that next time they will offer you a discount on something for the inconvenience...
Still, I would pay it. May be why I sleep so well at night.
Boy, I hope I don't have to sell anything on this forum.........
I sleep well at night, and I would not pay it.
Only problem you would run into selling something on this forum that could be directly related to the topic at hand is if you sold it for X amount, completed the transaction, then realized you meant to sell it for Y amount and went after the buyer for the difference. In that case, everyone would harp that you should have paid more attention. matters not that the value of said product was far more than what you sold it for. Your mistake. However when it is a dealer it seems the consumer is responsible for the sellers mistake.
