30k service in Arizona

[beersnob]

It's that time....hit 30,000 miles on my '02 S the other day. My local guy that has worked on my BMW's for years has quooted me $300, while Porsche North Scottsdale has quoted me $850. Something doesn't sound right here and from researching the issue my local service guy is way out of whack.

Has anyone had a positive expirience with an independant in either Phoenix, Prescott or Flagstaff?

Thanks,
Jeff

Don't quibble so much in NY Long Island the 30K I was quoted $1,500. I take the $ 850 in a heartbeat.

I am in Cleveland OH and my 30K service from the dealer is $850 which I hear is a pretty good deal. Getting it done tomorrow.

850.00 is about what I paid from the dealership,

Did it myself for about $140 in parts.

Oil and Filter
Cabin Filter
Air Filter
Six spark plugs

Checked the whole car for loose items, cracked hoses and filters.

Four hours of my time (I'm not a mechanic).

It's not the $850 that bugs me, it's what I'm getting for it. NOT MUCH

The BMW dude is probably quoting the oil/lube, plugs, filters, brake flush, but not the laundry list of checks and inspections that go along with a "major" maintenance.
Either that or he's working awfully cheap.
