90,000 Mile service is Dealer taking me for a ride????
At 90K mile service is the spark plug change included?
Dealer is trying to charge me an extra $1000 to change the spark plugs, but Is also charging me 4K for a 90K mile service B. With taxes and fees the Bill looks like it's 6K. Some of this stuff looks like I'm being double charged.
To be honest I'm totally confused now and I feel like he's trying to take me for a ride. The Original Service B invoice was $2600. Now I'm close to 6K. Half the stuff on the list looks like Inspections.
Plus recommendations he's trying to charge me 8K for a 2013 G550 90,000 miles. Of course Id never agreed to that. BUT I give him an A for effort.

It sounds like a lot of extras, but really depends on if your G really needs it or not.
Rear brake pads - this price is high for sure since it's only the pads. good chance you'll need rotors too, which pads + rotor parts alone are ~$600
Rear tires - I would check this and replace all 4 at the same time to avoid any differential problems - costs will vary with what tire you go with
No idea what the oil filter housing reseal (with heat exhanger) is - will need a breakdown of what that involves
centrifuge cover? this is rear cam breather cover - they're charging a lot of labor there for an inexpensive part.
Service B is nothing more than an oil change, check on all fluid levels, replace filters, and general check on other things - should definitely skip and do it yourself
Quick Service 01 - no idea what this is
Alignment - skip this and go to another shop for half the cost.
Spark plugs - M273 kit is cheap and easy - skip for sure or find an indy
headlight bulbs - they do take some time to replace, but can be done in 30 minutes or so. depends what bulbs you replace them with. Bulbs are ~$100 each, so you can do the math.
What they are quoting for Oil filter housing reseal is actually quite reasonable. I replaced my oil filter housing at home and it was easily 20+ hours of labor. Otherwise, I agree, I would do the rest of the items they are quoting myself for much less.
$632 for mounting and balancing 2 tires, tires not included? My tire dealer mounts, balances and installs 4 tires at no additional cost to the tires I buy. This dealer is a thief.
I don't see where you are located - but someone likely can advise on a good Indy once you share that .... a few of these like the tires are high, others likely are sticky traps that will escalate ( rotors needed w/ pads - or new sensors or.......)
My stealership sees my G for oilchanges only or things that I don't mind paying a premium on due to part availability or timing....
