man that is such a rip off

i dont think a 7500 maintance check up is NOT needed and most maintance work is unnecessary.

if the car is running fine then dont take it in. and only fix something when its broken...

$149 is worth it if the oil filter is gold plated. And if it includes a 1hr massage.

7500 service is an oil change.

i believe the rotation and oil change is for the "normal" only. the "severe" schedule i believe calls a "normal" schedule at 3250mi intervals and for a bunch of other crap at the 7500mi intervals. i've moticed that most dealers in jersey don't even acknowledge the "normal" schedule (probably cause it costs less)

That's what I paid for 30K, so I'm thinking it's high.

Acura of Portland provides a complimentary car wash and interior vacuum with every visit, though I would never let them touch my exterior paint. I just go for the vacuum and call it a day.
