60000 Mile Service question

Anyone here had their 60k service done at the dealership?

Was it worth it? Where did you go? How much did you pay? Thoughts?

I was recently quoted over $1000 and that just seems ridiculous to me.

I'm desperate for some assurance or advice on this.

$1,000 for service without parts? I think that's way too much. I was quoted around $800 from infiniti Tustin.

I ended up with having service done at the local repair shop and it cost me
slightly over $500.00 (Parts and labor included)

They changed
1. Spark plugs(NGK)
2. Air filter(K&N)
3. Synthetic Oil change + Oil filter change
4. Front brake pads replacement.(2 Brembos)
5. Throtle body cleaning
6. Small stuff like tire pressure check and etc.

Asked them for diff fluid and transmisstion oil fluid(6MT) but they recommended me to wait until I hit 10K miles. I don't know if I can keep driving without changing tranny oil till 10K or not but everything seems like working fine.

The only issue I had after service was check engine warning.
It was saying, oil filter was not tightened enough blah blah blah and I noticed the
idling RPM was pretty higher than usual. I reset the ECU by disconnecting negative cable from battery for about 30 minutes and those things got back to normal.

I just had mine done at a local dealership (Miller Van Nuys). The sequence of events went something like this:

* They quoted me $692.
* I **** my pants.
* I told them to skip air filters (do it myself), tire balancing (I have the 6MT sport so they can't be rotated and the tires are newish anyway), cabin filter (do it myself), and battery service (they just clean the contacts by spraying chemicals on them). Basically just had them do all the fluids because I hate dealing with them.
* End price was just under $400.
