Seriously folks it seems the majority of people on this list think their time is worth everything and someone else's nothing. I enjoy working on my cars, but that doesn't prevent me from having the dealer work on the Z as my time is valuable compared to trying to carefully lift the car without damaging the unibody frame rails

OP: price is fair for what they did. The only quibble I have and why I also don't get 'packages', is the fuel system additives they put in are 1) not needed if you use good detergent fuel and 2) over priced.

I am assuming MOA is short for motor oil additive? No idea what it is from that recept. 44K is that B44K fuel system conditioner?

That and an overpriced Nissan brake fluid are the only parts of the service that seem a high to me. 2 hours labor to check things, change oil and bleed brake system is reasonable to me, at an average of $100/hr for labor.

At any major service intervalI would simply ask for things specifically...then you can have them check off your book *after* the fact. Whatever is recommended, ask for oil, filters, brake fluid (if needed) and have them simply inspect stuff as needed. No additives etc...no 'premium packages'.

Stick to the book, you will save a few sawbucks
