I envy all you guys with your 'garages' and 'driveways'.

You got scammed! If you look at your maintenence schedule booklet, and if what the dealer says cannot be reconciled to it, then it is probably not necessary. Did they fix a problem? Was your car problem free when you took it there? You got screwed....if you paid with a credit card, place the charge on hold and put it in dispute....then negociate with the dealer for a much lower price.

Don't be so foolish next time...
