Got the vehicle serviced -- the 99000mile one.  new plugs, changed out the transaxle fluid, etc.  Also had them recharge the AC system and do an alignment on all four wheels.  Total elapsed time, with the additions?  The same 5 hours -- almost to the minute -- I was quoted on the phone. 

Then I remembered I had a coupon for 10% off parts and labor :D:D:D

So not as bad as I'd expected. 

But still, $804 and change.....*owch*
