Is this right? $400 for service?

I'll run out and check that and post what it says, but still shouldn't be much more than what I posted, just more often.

Hell, i went in for an oil change... they said my diff fluid was contaminated, and my throttle body was dirty.... and my injectors were dirty... (how could they tell the injectors were dirty...?)
but anyway... since they had it up for the oil, i said screw it, just do it.

WTF...???

Must be.... I just pulled my book (I have an '07) here's what is listed for 15000 mile service
Change engine oil and engine oil filter
check the coolant level, hoses and clamps
inspect the exhaust system
inspect brake hoses
Clean and lubricate soft top zippers (if equipped)
drain & refill front & rear axle fluid
inspect transfer case fluid, add if necessary
inspect engine air cleaner filter, replace if necessary
Now this is all listed in the "severe" driving conditions. Under the "normal" conditions most of the extra stuff listed above doesn't show up until 30,000

All good stuff to check once a year at least, but certainly not worth $400. You can buy the required fluids & filters for around 50-60 and do it yourself, then have the satisfaction of doing it. If you're not comfortabel doing it, check with some other local owners or Jeep clubs, I'm sure someone would be more than willing to help you out for a couple Beers and lunch, still save you about $300 bucks.
From now own I do all my work myself.

Just save all receipts for what you do or have done outside of the dealer, same as if you do your own oil changes.
