It's good to know one's limits
When I read about other people spending less than 1k for the same job, yes, it seems a bit high.

Also, I'm not "worried" about transportation, and neither the cost of the job at a shop (even a dealer) nor performing the work myself is beyond my financial or mechanical means. The point is simply that if I don't have to spend an extra $700 on something, I'm not going to. Plenty of people spend $180-$250 on an oil change that I personally do in my driveway for $60 in 15 minutes with the exact same materials.
