You're paying for the labour and can diy most of those things for half the Defcon price or less.

Diff oil - 25
Full synth change - 55-60
Cabin filter - 30 or less
Air filter - about the same for a dry lifetime unit like Amsoil or K&N

What he said.
Most of those fluids you can do yourself, if you want to save money.

As for the cabin and engine air filter, you can also do that yourself.
Contact Dave (Kijiji) guy, for a price on the OEM filters.
Should be much cheaper than buying it from the dealer.

If you're not looking to do anything yourself, give Vic @ Simone Performance a call for a quote. Simone Performance is a highly trusted shop by everyone on here.

That's a pretty good price for the services mentioned, unless you're ready to DIY.

Like Ian said give Vic Simones a call. Many people here go to him.

I was actually going to stop in and see Vic Thursday morning to have a chat and get a couple of quotes.
