99% of that stuff, you can do yourself. At 90K, the only thing I would ask the dealer to do is replace the drive belt, inspect timing chain, tensioner and guides and replace if necessary. Fluids, you probably can do yourself as well.

Yeah, and you can pay that shit and drive away wondering just how MANY of the "inspect" things they did. That's just fucking robbery.

When I was working for the dealer as a tech, we did do the inspection. The inspections, the tech gets paid shit for it (somewhere along the lines of .1 hours). It probably takes us an all of 5 minutes to do.
