Hopefully that quote was with taxes and that's the difference between the $800 to the $1200 but I don't know.

I would call them and tell them to leave the car alone and go get it, that is a blatent rip off if they didn't find more work. a 4X4 means you have transfer case and front dif as well as the back, that should be about 60 to 100 bucks in synthetic oil, and the difference in the oil change is about 60 bucks. transmition flush and fill could be about 250.00 and spark plugs should be 150ish to 200.00. I would tell them if they can't stay to the original quote of 600.00 to forget it and take it to Canadian tire for the spark plug change (or do it your self) and then go to a quick lub for the rest.

The work should be almost finished by now. I thought it would be better to get it done at the dealership because then the work would be done right, but now I'm thinking I should of phoned around for some quotes.
