Ok,

Thought everyone would be familiar with the 90k service but guess I was wrong. So here's a more detailed list of the work

Change all filters
Flush and replace coolant
Change spark plugs
Change oil
Inspect a litany of things and fluids top off as needed
Brakes included akebono pads on all wheels
Oem rotors
Oem sensors

The r and r items included reset airbag light, replace a cpl of fuses, so let me ask my question a different way. Does anyone have experience with this work being done by an indie garage and, if so, how did your costs compare?

Are you getting at least a reach around for that service @ $3000?
That list for $3k means you are getting screwed

even at factory pricing, that list should be well under $1500

That`s top dollar for that work. Must been a ton of labour charges, disposal fees and tax.
