Default Fluid Changes @ Stealership?

I have an '85 4+3 65k Stock. I called for a quote for some fluid changes:

Diff - $90
OD + Filter - $250
Manual - $40
Coolant Flush - $120

Dang! I think that's a rip! Manual service & Coolant Flush seem reasonable, but the Diff & OD seem spiked! I have considered buying the ramps & pump to do it all myself, but the hassle...

WWC4GenDo?

(PS: T minus 4 weeks to drive-time!)

You took your C4 to the dealership? Just messing with you man. Find a good indi. shop or find a forum member in the area and buy him/her a case of beer.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about. Better yet, drop in cold at the residence of someone who owns a Corvette and is obviously enthusiastic about its care (hint a man's man garage.) Then you'll really see what time it is!
