I always have my (24k miles) Vette serviced at my local GM dealer, oil etc., well when GM does oil changes air cleaner inspection is included right! I just installed a new air bridge and in doing so the air filter housing poped open exposing the air filter which was filthy. I promptly replaced it and my Vette feels like a new car, idles 150-200 rpm faster and a jump off the get go. I suggest you check your filters and don't depend on your service guy.

Did you check with the dealer and make sure they include a check of the air filter - maybe they don't do it there. In any case, I agree with the others - that's a good enough reason to do the work yourself if you can.

Yes, they have a check list included with everything from tire pressure to powersteering level and top-up, there is a entry for air filter check..so I took it at their advice it was fine, I am thinking because of the low mileage they skipped it, I was surprised and had a thread posted last year asking why my car was ideling so low ~650 RPM, now I know why. I will double check everything after next oil change. (If you bring you own oil and filter cost is $25- for oil change, will not do it myself for that and what to do with old oil filter etc.?)
