Morristown/Prestige Mini Value Service Emails

Woke up this morning to see 2 emails, one from each dealer. I figured this might make me re-consider doing some of my own work if they dropped their rates low enough...

Morristown:
Front Brake Pads: 224.99, orig. 304.99
Front Brake Pads and Rotors: 459.99 orig. 649.99
Rear Brake Pads and Rotors: 439.99 orig. 599.99
Engine Oil Service: 269.99 orig. 399.99

Prestige:
Engine Oil Service: 189.95, orig. 249.95
Four Wheel Alignment: 99.95, orig. 189.95
Fuel Injection Cleaning: 119.95, orig. 149.95

Only the alignment's price seems reasonable to me.
The Fuel Injection Cleaning I've never looked into so that price might be ok.

BTW, these are prices with a coupon, and not recently changed service prices...

If anyone wants to save money and learn how to change brakes/oil, let me know...

IMHO, Morristown MINI service is unacceptable. After a week in the shop they said I could pick up Darwin. When I got there, the window still did not work right, and they had scratched the trim and the paint. They new about the scratches, because they ordered a new trim piece, but they didn't bother to tell me about it. I had to point it out, only then did they tell me I'd have to come back again to get it fixed. They are nice enough, but nice doesn't make up for bad service.
