Getting back to the OP, they're shafting you...
Let's rattle off that list:
Brake service? What the hell does that mean? Your pads and rotors are FINE, if they're flushing brake fluid, that's a different story (I paid $75 for a GTR fluid flush)
Battery service?!?!?! Tell the dealer to
That's gotta be the BS of the century, the only thing they will do is hook it up to a machine and try to sell you a new battery... MAYBE they'll put water in it... MAYBE...
Checking out the trans... Again:
Tell the dealer to

You have an auto... You can't check ANYTHING, there is no dipstick, NOTHING, it's sealed...


Oil change, depends on oil... Wipers... $25 for both?

You have a 2009, so no in cabin air filter too, make sure they don't stick it to you on that


And they MIGHT suggest a differential flush, that's a 50/50, (you don't have the SP, so not worth it really) should cost $60-80 at the dealershit





PLEASE give me the number of this dealershit so I can call and cuss them out...



And if you have ANY questions, don't hesitate to call or text me: (310)eight nine three-4207

EDIT: I just saw the OP already did this...
Brother, the forum is here for questions like that, next time ask us FIRST, lol

I totally agree..the dealer check includes things like checking seat belts..an auto mechanic that I have a great deal of trust in told me he could do the same thing for half price...

I think dealers trade on fear..fear that unless you are using them some horrible thing might go wrong..
My son has an audi A4 and something went wrong...the dealer wanted $1200 ..he fixed it himself for under $400..and it took him only about an hour,.,..figured a trained audi mechanic could do the work in half that time..so exactly how much do they get per hour??
