Land Rover is ridiculous. I just read a guy was charged $700 for an oil change and brake fluid flush. $150 in parts tops. Surely both tasks can be done under an hour.

I'v also heard of disks and pads all around costing ~$2200 and front or rears ~$1500. Heck people have been charged several hundred to change only the front pads.
