30k Factory Service

I'm approaching 30k and i want to know what all the 30k factory service entails? I know about the oil change and fluid check. What's the deal with the $300+ pricing? Lol

At 36K miles I changed the engine oil/filter, rear differential oil, and transmission oil (drain/fill) for $180 which included $60 in labor to my trusted mechanic.

My dealer quoted me $900+. Oil/filter change, brake fluid change, both filters and inspections.

I thought we had a sealed transmission? How did you change the oil in it?

My mechanic has the specific tool to re-fill the transmission oil with fresh fluid as there is no dipstick, but it was amazing to see how easy it was to do.
