Sorry, I didn't see your question for me and husker. I think it must be a function of the cost of living where you live. Long Island where I live is a stupidly expensive place to live. That's the only reason I can come up with. But then why is my BMW dealer so much more reasonable?
My local dealer is very expensive and I won't go there anymore unless I have to. They have charged me:
$10/qt for Mobil 1 0W-40 when Walmart was selling it for $5.97 (meanwhile my BMW dealer only charged me $5.40/qt for Mobil 1 5W-30 and the repair reciept notes 55 gallon drum) You know these guys buy it in bulk.
They charged me $100 per tire to mount and balance by new tires claiming that the Boxsters are tricky cars and if the wheels aren't balanced perfectly you'll get vibration.
