'Item 1' is a joke.

That is merely a grease and oil change. I understand that it is a dealer etc, but almost $250???

The addititives is another common ploy. New cars that are correctly serviced with good quality oils NEVER need that sort of thing.

The rest of the prices seem pretty reasonable, but were they actually needed is the question? If your car is an 06 and it was the first time those fluids were changed than they probably were needed.

I don't bother looking at my book any more, as my own car is a few weeks shy of 200,000km, however I do brake fluid and coolant every 40,000km or 2 years, whatever comes first.

I would use another mechanic that does the correct logbook services at a lower price.

Remeber.. get the quote for anything beforehand.
