b6 maintenance cost?

How much did you pay for B6. Is it better to go alacarte rather than "b6" maintenance? By alacarte, I mean oil & differential change and tire rotation vs b6.

Here is what acura quoted me

B - oil / tire - 139.95
6- differential fluid change 89.95

alacarte..

oil change 49.95
tire rotation 34.95
diffential 89.95

$174.85 vs $229.95

Except with B6 you get lots of inspect this and inspect that...

The inspect this and inspect that is their biggest money maker. It takes less than 2 minutes, it doesn't cost them anything and they get the opportunity to find something wrong that they will charge highly for because it is already in the shop and the convenience is what takes you.

Rear Differential Fluid change quotes

I have called two dealers so far for the differential fluid change.
One quoted $70, the other quoted $125.

Amazing the variance in pricing.

The quote for $70 came from Pohanka near Dulles airport. $125 came from the dealer in Richmond.
