Service A & B, what's the difference
What kind of things do they do on each service, what an aprox price for each assuming regular service. Thanks I'm just curious.

I got this off a dealer's web site....
and whatever they charge, between 3 to 4 hundred, is too much.

Thanks a lot, at least now I know last time I had service B done because they replaced the wiper blade (even though it was fine and wiped fine). If I remember correctly they charged $385.00 for it.
I really don't complain about the cost because it had been 14k miles already, FSS still said 1000 miles before service but I was getting worried about that oil.

It appears that the A service is essentially an oil/filter change.
All those 'check' items are meaningless.

Has anyone had experience with Service A or B and specifying things they did not want done but were done anyways? I'm not paying $20 for someone to pour a litre of washer fluid in my car, or top up the engine coolant, at least at places like Jiffy Lude they'll ask first before doing it.

You're killing me!!!!!
No, seriously....a basic oil change runs $175 at my dealer.
The B service runs over $400, and the A service is a bit less than that.
After 50k miles of course.
