My 15,000 mile maintenance is right around the corner. I read through the manual and it says that I need an oil & filter change along with air filter. Besides that it recommends that I replace out the wiper blades as well along with fluid level checks and what not.

When I called the dealership where I got the car, they originally said they couldn't fit me in because they are full on the weekends and transferred me to someone's voicemail. Before I called I actually tried using there online appointment system the prior day. That apparently didn't work. I got one e-mail stating I would be contacted but that never happened. So I left the guy a message stating I had a Z and needed some maintenance done. Shortly after leaving the voicemail he calls me back up stating he can't fit me in. Then I tell him my 15k is due. Then he said it would be $300 and that he could now fit me in.

Can someone tell me what this maintenance should run around?

300 bucks to change your oil, air filter, wipers, and check fluid?!?!!?!? that's a rip and a half if that's all they are doing.

check wires = about $70 or $150 if you choose the different check-up (that's what I was told at the dealership)
oil change = around $24
air filter = about $20

I normally stick the schedule 1 maintenance when taking my Z for service. But when I took it in for the 15K maintenance, I opted for the premium service, which came out to be about $240. But that consisted of a whole list of things (it's in the manual), so maybe that $300 thing was what he was assuming, cause obviously they would want everyone to get premium service...

$300 for regular maintenance at 15K miles though? No way, talk to the service manager and you should get things straight.

He also mentioned stuff like checking of fluids, cables, suspension, and tires. I believe he might have mentioned changing fluids out as well.

I've been to this place before for regular oil changes and they were about $20-$25.

2 local dealers where I live charge completely different prices for their 15k service. One charges ~ $168, the other ~ $83. They differ in the actual service performed for 15k.
