2006 C6 with 45,000 miles is in the dealer's garage having a 00CVZ-M5 15K service. I have a GM maintenance coupon received in the mail last week so Mobil 1 oil and filter change and checking other fluids are free.
This morning when took car in for oil change, the dealer recommended and quoted $1,130 for:
a. coolant fluid exchange,
b. service the differential, and
c. flush / exchange clutch fluid.
This afternoon while working on the car, dealer phoned recommending:
d. new front brake pads and rotors - $925
e. new rear brake pads and rotors - $746
f. flush brake system - $149
g. clean out radiator and air conditioner core $910
So total bill will be about $3,900 plus CA tax. These fluids except oil of course have not been replaced before and neither have the brakes.
$3,900 for a tune-up and replacing these fluids and brakes seems steep to me. What do you think? What have you paid for same services? Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!
