Help! Cost of 15000 mile service?!?

Hello everyone!
I have been just a "lurker" ever since purchasing my 2006 G35 coupe new in Dec 2005 so this will be my first post.
I just had the car serviced for its 15000 mile. How much should this cost me? I have the Free Oil Change for Life program which seems to be costing me more and more. Yikes!
Just let me know what everyone else has paid approximately.
Thanks and by the way I love the car!

you dont need to do it, just get oil changes till 30k miles, then at 30k do a trans , diff, and radiator service, at 60k repeat with belts and plugs...

Service at 15K..............!

More than likely only oil/filter change and cabin filter is all that's required. Ask
the service writer what's on his list and beware of items not needed like
tire rotation or antenna service.........they'll take your $ that's why we
refer to them as the Stealership!

I hate that I cannot change my own oil in this car. I have owned trucks prior to this and always did it myself without any difficulty. I cannot get under this car to save my life! The dealer charged me a ton (in my opinion) for what was done. $357
I just got off the phone with the service guy who checked in my car on Sat. A different gentleman charged me out when I picked it up on Monday. The second guy did not give me my Free Oil for Life adjustment. Yipee take off $33.

OK here is the bill:
$33 for my free oil change (they credited back my card just now)
$48 for balance and (non) rotation of tires
$83 microfilter incabin air filter replacement
$102 Multipoint inspection
(they measured the depth of tire tread and how much brake pad thickness remaining)
$65 wheel alignment
$18 replaced engine air filter (after just under 15000 miles? I dont live in the woods; I just drive it in the city?)

The service man on the phone tells me that he "hit the wrong button" when I brought the car in. On my estimate all I signed for was $33 and change. He tells me that it was just an accident and that that is just the fee for the replacement cabin air filter. There is a labor charge of $50 on top of that as well that he forgot to mention and I did not ask about. All they have me signing for is $33.
What do you think that I should do?

This is just my opinion.
You got screwed on the $48 wheel balance since you already paid $65 for an alignment. If you take your car to NTB or any reputable place to do an alignment, they will rotate tires, if asked. Of course you can only swap the front at rear tires with each other.
$18 for an air flter is ok.
$102 for a multipoint inspection is a big rip-off. Take your car to any major company to get a full service synthetic oil change for $65 and they will check all that stuff for you ~ free. They do it because they want you to buy their service if they find something "wrong" ~ then it's your choice to allow them to fix/repair anything there.
just my $.02
