No $600 for this service is not a good deal. That is 6 hours at $100/hr !!! I have a 2000 9-3 and just had an independent mechanic do the work. I bought the fuel filter, air-filter, serpentine belt, coolant, brake fluid, and he did the labor. I skipped the spark plugs since the dealer did that under warranty 20K miles ago when fixing a check engine light problem.
Parts cost me $80, Labor was $170. Check your owners manual for what needs to be done at 60K, and then find an independent mechanic that will work with your parts. VW mechanics are more reasonable, and are familiar with the Bosch systems, etc. My guy works mostly on domestics. I would not have him do a big job, but the 60K service is not rocket science
The dealers are really over charging people. High labor rates ($80-$90), and then they charge you book time ! Stop the madness !!!!
