With that being said, you might want to shop around. $550 seems high for a 60K. We only charge $299 for a 6 cyl and $350 for a 4 cyl. We're at $70 an hour out here but I hear there are regions with a labor rate above $100/hour (San Fran). You may live in an expensive region...
$350.00 for the 60k service (4cyl) wouldn't be bad especially if it included the transmission fluid change.
Who is flaming? Looks like this is a debate of value for the dollar?
I'm not saying the dealers don't have overhead or extra technical service traning either, this is exactly why I take my Honda to the Honda dealer. I just think if you add up the totals for the 60k service and add in the hourly rate (2hrs?) , there is no way you come up with 550 bucks.
