Considering that #2,3,4,10 and 13 either are check automatically, or driver can check them not slowing down from 80 mph?
I think battery and wiper replacement at each service is overkill, but that's me.

Dealership topics seem to get discussed to death. Forum members are a minority of the population and tend to do a lot of their own work. From what I see most folks only know where the gas cap is. I don't see anything wrong with the service inspection list since that same majority basically just drives the car. I don't really care if the dealer gets more work out of it, makes it better for guys like me that like to be second owners of almost new cars.

I'm thinking more of that person that will drive a vehicle to failure, regardless of how many warning lights are in front of them!

I gave her 2nd opinion. Brakes are almost new (she remembers 10k miles since replacement), while steering needs $15 boot, that most likely body shop doing the repairs last fall choose "not to see".
So with such honesty from repairmen, she might not have other choice than drive the car till it stops and get another one.
