B1 Service is Oil Change plus Trire Rotation plus "24 point inspection"? If so, ~$60 max with stock filter and "Synthetic blend" oil. DIY = ~$30 with a better filter and full synthetic oil.

There is an excellent step-by-step Oil Change check list with Service Manual Scans around here somewhere. Try the 3G Garage:

Computer Reset = disconnect NEG battery terminal. If you disconnect during service/mods you don't have to worry about it later (and no CEL's if certain sensors were unplugged during the mod). Reconnect when service/mods are complete.

IF you disconnect your NEG terminal make SURE your have Radio and Navi codes.

1)

2) Oil change at my dealer was just over $50. DIY is about $27.

3) That's three questions, not two. If by computer you mean the ECU, do what Bearcat said. If by computer you mean the MID, https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/oil-life-reset-3g-garage-f-157-a-556666/

On the trunk release button, look in your glove box and make sure the little lever in there didn't get pushed to the lock position. That lever disables the trunk release buttone for security reasons.

I do my own oil changes and tire rotations. Cheaper and I enjoy it.

No, not to unlock the trunk, but to disable your trunk button.
