I got a warning today on the I-Drive that I am due for a "Vehicle Check" in 1500 miles.

If I elect to take the car to the dealer, what do they do for this? Is it basically a visual check? What is the typical cost, and what do they check?

I'm thinking I will just reset the counter for this in the I drive

Yeah that's what I will do. I emailed my SA earlier today, and he said it's basically a $177 visual check and computer scan. What a rip off

I am due for a "Vehicle Check" ... This is incorrectly quoted ... after warranty and maintenance program it's the dealer scheduling they are due for a Customer Check ... a BIG ONE ...

They'll look your car over and tell you all the work that you'll pay for now that you're on your own dime!
