And to add to that, anything they do inspect they will probably tell you needs replacing/service, just to bump up the price even more.
I do as much maintenance as I can myself, which is why I think it's pointless to pay the dealer to install an air filter, top off fluids, inspect brakes, etc.

Thats the thing I am worried about the most, I have already gotten my 5K and 10K mile service done at the dealer, but with the more major ones coming it just seems that if I dont want them to perform a few parts of the service, I might as well bring it someplace else.
I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow and ask for a price for the 15K mile service, as that will really make or break my decision.
