$121 for an oil change and tire rotation? I get that done for $60 at my local Goodyear.

Brings back memories of my 2001 New Beetle TDi. Cute car, but when I brought it to the dealership for a 25K service (IIRC) the service guy said I would need new brakes soon, including rotors - about $500.
WTF? New brakes? With new rotors? It’s only got 25K miles!
He said yeah, they make the rotors out of butter at the factory and thin, so they don’t last long.

>Ironically, despite Champaigne-grade oil, propietery adjustment tools, and German engineering VW is low-to-middle of the pack in reliability.
reliability is inherently a backward looking indicator. VW's current line has a couple of years under its belt and is doing extremely well.

Same service is $80 with oil/tire-rotation coupon at my Toyota dealer.
They throw in all of the other stuff with every service.

The oil is about $50. $10 for the brake fluid. The filter is probably $15. We're at $75. So your Toyota dealer does all the rest for $5? I think not. Environmental disposal fees are higher than that (at least around here.)
