I can understand wanting to let the dealer do it so there is a record, just in case. But if you pay $325 for the 600 miler service, you got sucker punched. All you're getting is an oil change and a small check list of things. It consist of $35 in parts and 30-40 minutes of a mechanics time. They do not perform any magic at the 600. If a dealer quoted me $325 for the job I would call him a thief and never do business with him again. It's just like some lumber supply company charging $100 for a $15 sheet of plywood after a hurricane.
