Fred,
I don't have the bill for it, this was just the verbal letting me know 
how things were and asking about changing the coolant and brakes/fluid.  
As I really don't have time to do that myself this time, I decided to 
pony up for them to do it.  Winter doesn't look like its going to let up 
any time soon, despite the nice forecasts earlier this week, and my 
garage isn't heated. 
Anyway, enough excuses, I'll know better for next time.  I'm sure that 
I'll have some questions for the local guys (Don, George) in about 18 
months when I go to do the 24k service myself...

Dan
