I dropped off my car at the local Audi dealer (HBL in Tysons, VA) to have the ignition switch replaced under a recall.  The service adviser also offered to super size my visit with the following items:
 
- replace transmission tail shaft seal                      $530
- replace both rear flange seals                             $520
- replace rear brake pads and rotors                    $640
- replace valve cover and cam adjuster gaskets    $870
- replace RF tire (Michelin Pilot)                          $178
- car wash                                                           FREE!!!
 
Grand Total                                                       $2738
 
I politely declined his most gracious and generous offer after I got up off of the floor.  But Geez Louise, it alsmost sounds like I'm driving through a micky d's and the drone on the other is desperately trying to up sell me a super size meal deal when all I want is regular hamburger.  Heck I can buy another q or 2 for that!!! 
 
All I can say is, I'm staying away from places like that.
