Local dealer quoted $599+/- for 90K Q45 Service

Now my question is this just replaced the brake pads (rotors were well within spec) did a oil change, transmission fill/flush, air filter.

Supposing the serp belts are fine what else does the dealer do? Spark Plugs, Fuel Filter, Rotate tires?

Im just trying to figure wheter I should just replace the Fuel filter and plugs myself or if theres something im missing that the dealer does? timing chains are noise free so thats not a worry. I have to replace the turbine/revolution sensor asap and that alone is going to run $500

Yeah, do the rest yourself. Install the ATF cooler if you haven't done so.

Good reason to let dealer do oil changes (with M1 filters from Joe and your choice of lubricant) so you get free periodic inspections under the car.

sounds like a good deal. I had $4K fun money left over from selling my cabrio and its slowly dwindling down, into my suspension/wheels funds...

Yeah the turbine sensor probably isnt newbie DIY friendly, but the fuel filter definitely is, and the plugs probably are.....

The plugs aren't bad, but there's lots of stuff to take off to get to them. However, if they were done at 60k, then you don't need to do them till 120k.

not sure when plugs were done.

no real records as PO had a in-house mechanic he uses for his Limo business and keeps no real paper trail of stuff.

Im just too lazy to do the turbine sensor. $500 is a drop in the bucket compared to cussing all day long
