Did you ask them to do this, or they did it themselves?

Finally - One more question, how are your brakes and tires? Particularly interested in your brakes. At 26,000+ did your pads need replacement yet?

Thanks so much. Beautiful car. GOod to see you use it plenty. Must be fun driving.

I asked them to check out the tranny software. They also did Fluids and filters and a clamp on the cooling system, oil and filter. everything was good. I do alot of highway miles and rarely use my brakes...lol

cool. Good to hear. The tires are still original too then?

Glad you had a good service. I had a good service A today myself. Maybe next year I'll ask for the software update.

I called my dealer today to schedule the B service and the quoted me $580 + tax . Are they trying to stick it up my A.....??? Or is it possible that they are including something more than other dealers (I know this is a stupid question, but I thought the B service was around $300)??

That's just BS...$580...no way it cost that much...
Cost for Service B ranges from $249 to $399 here in Bay Area...($399 is typical price w/o using any coupon)

Check the link above, $249 for Service B..
