Thread: $600 for an oil change?

Perhaps im out of touch, but in the past this sort of work only cost me something shy of $300
Im almost at the point of doing it myself at that cost, and ive had a bad experience with the dealership some time back, they repacked the wheel bearing grease and over tightened the hub nuts damaging the wheel bearings.

I have a Toyota hilux and just booked in for 45k service ( $1290 quoted). Getting pricy alright.
