Service question..

Taking the 05 in for the 2nd oil change (7400 miles) to the dealership and am contemplating the schedule B (oil change, tire rotation, inspections, etc.). Am I crazy or should I wait and only have the oil changed. BTW the dealer changes the oil in 30 mins or less and charges only $19.95, with free Starbucks and Atlanta Bread Company bread in the waiting area.

The oil change price was part of the deal when I bought the car. I am friends with the owner which helps!

Assuming your MID maintenance reminder hasn't come on, you could wait until it does to make sure the MID maintenance reminder is reset in sequence. My "B" service reminder came up at about 8500-8700 miles (after my first oil change, which was at 4000 miles or so). Otherwise, you should do the "B" service if it is less than $90 to get the tires rotated. I didn't look in the manual or check to see what resetting the MID would do in this situation; maybe another poster can advise on that aspect.
If the MID says "B" service is due, get the "B" service.
