30k service... (WAS Re: road rage)

[Chuck Simpson <csimpson@zeltech.com>]

How much did you pay for the 30k service?
I know I have a little while before I reach that point (currently
10.5k),
but was just curious since it seems the 30k service costs vary
quite a bit from dealer to dealer.  I just wonder if they all perform
the
same maintenance.
