Cities are expensive place to live. People also complain about the high cost of rent, real estate prices. cost of living, insurance, parking etc. Goes with the territory. Boston is the same. Try finding a small decent house in Cambridge or Boston.
Don't like it, live in the rural midwest.

also Boston is not a city at all. it's a big town, a dirty big town.

maybe this will make some of you all feel a little better, maybe this is the normal going rate. just dropped off my car for 20k mile service: oil change, filter change, air and pollen elements swapped, new wipers (i declined these just put those PIAAs on which i love), lube, adjustments, general check.
$1550 bux before taxes.
a city so nice they named it twice

i'm not complaining per se, just pointing out that it's pretty expensive to do service in NYC. and also, as you know, moving to the midwest is a nice concept but if the work is in NYC there's nothing you can do about it.

Not sure where you are located, but I think it would be worth your time to go to this shop (or others that are recommended above).
To put something else into perspective - my mother has a Range Rover Supercharged LWB purchased from Ray Catena Edison NJ. We couldn't bare the thought of drilling the plate into the front bumper. We inquired about putting the retractable plate (with remote control) and was quoted a little over $1000 for parts and labor. Emil did the same exact job with the exact same parts in the exact same time - for $180.
So, it's not just a Manhattan Issue. I think it's what everyone is saying above - a dealer convenience fee. Drop off the car- sit in a lovely setting - and have some eye (and tummy) candy while you wait.
For warranty issues, sure I'll go. Maintenance, I don't know why folks still go to the dealer - especially with great forums like this to turn to for alternative advice.

Your price is absolute robbery.
Discount also stands by their work like no other tire shop I've seen.
