Price depends heavily on what you want to have done at the 30K service.

I would replace engine oil and filter, air and pollen filters, brake fluid and transmission fluid, rotate and balance tires, cleaning out the throttle body plus the regular full look over of the car as far as lights, belt, brakes, electrics, check for fault codes, etc, etc.

So if you compare prices you would have to make them list the things THEY include in the service and not just the standard phrase that, yes we do everything in the 30K service or, we follow the book for the 30K service.

Brake prices also differs a lot if you need pads and rotors or just pads and machine rotors.

Your Turbo-X might have the softer pads from factory compared to the regular 9-3 which had the longer lasting Akebono pads so you might be due for brakes but only a visual inspection would reveal that.

Front pads and rotors might be around $604.00 or more or less all depending on what brand you are comfortable with and if the car has the 314mm brake system.
If the Turbo-X use the 345mm brake system you are looking at around $840.00 for the front pads and rotors.

So when checking prices you need to know exactly what you have and what you want. Otherwise, price shopping means nothing and some shops might not want to bother with giving out prices because it means nothing until the car is in the shop anyway.
