Mileage maintences are major cash cows for dealers and the technicians. We get 4-5 hours for a major service, although it only takes 1-2 hours max. I would recommend to just look at the maintence schedule, and get the needed repairs priced out seperately, while ignoring all the fluff like inspections and lubing hinges. A lof, rotate, coolant flush, and spark plug change should be considerable cheaper a la carte, and they will still inspect the car because the want to upsell more work to make more money. Just remember that they are not usually allowed to upsell work that would be covered by the manufacture warranty unless it is a safety issue.
