My dealer tells me it is a $500.chg for my 60,000 mile checkup. Is that accurate

60k checkup is the first 'big' maintenance interval. Luckily for you, it doesn't seem to be too painful. Air filter, Cabin Air Filter, checking brakes, etc. It could be a $500 check up if you have to replace brakes or something, but just for the "60k Check" I know our shop would only charge you for the things needed to be replaced and an hour (75 dollars) or less of check out time (and if you did need brakes or something else related to the inspection, we don't charge you to check it, we've already got the wheels off... you know? :) )
