    By contrast, I found that another dealer less than an hour away only charges $45 for the oil change and $245 for the tune up, PCV replacement and ICE filter replacement.

    The dealer I go to offers a 3-pack of synthetic oil changes, tire rotations, and multipoint inspections for $150. Pretty good deal. Although, I just dropped it off this morning and they asked if I wanted to do the 90k service for $850!?!?! I almost laughed in their face, but politely declined.

    Just looking through the US booklet, I see the major items it entails:

    1. Engine Oil and Filter change
    2. Replace Engine Air Filter
    3. Replace Cabin Air Filter
    4. Rotate Tires
    5. Major Brake Inspection

    I'd say $650 would be reasonable for that. I'd waive the two air filter changes, just check them yourself, knock off say $100.

    Even at 650 I'd still have a problem with that, at least without known what exactly "Major Brake Inspection" entails. The other services oil change and tire rotation normally are had for less than or around $100....so $550 or more for "Major brake inspection" is too much, assuming this is only an inspection and does exactly that just inspects and doesn't do anything tangible to the brake system
