Question
What should a tune up run at dealership and what should it run at an import mechanic.

Answer
WOW...you can come to my garage at any time and I'll charge you that.Not really,it depends on what you need but a 100,000 mile service shouldn't be that much.If at most half of that,I would call the dealership up and ask them what they would charge,they have it figured out assuming it doesn't need anything major.
