Yup, that's why DIY is FTW. Plus you know it's done right (and that it actually got done!)

$388 is a pretty good deal actually for what they are going to change: diff fluid, tranny fluid, oil change, in cabin air filter, engine filter.

If your not very handy with tools i say go for it. I personally took mine in for the tranny and diff flush and it was about $180 two years ago, I didn't want to mess with disposal and the location of the nuts to drain weren't the easiest to get to so I figured just let them do it on the lift. I did however do my own pad and rotor change when it was time, its a total rip at the dealer.

Seriously. Just the fluids and parts needed for a 30/60K, etc... is going be 1/2 that quoted price.

Cost me about $385 CAD for the same service. My shop told me they had called other local dealers and had found out they were aiming to charge me nearly $500.

++++++1 on that!!!
