What should I expect for the 7500 mile service cost on a '07 695?

A reasonable price would be around $300.

How much does your dealer want to charge?  Make sure they have a full checklist of everything that they do to earn their money.

No.
300 $ is for the 1000 km one.
Its more 1000 $ for the 12000 km one.
Well...its a whole days work and all...

I only paid around $150 for my first service and that's with a 14T sprocket purchased and installed.

I really don't know, I haven't asked DucSea what they charge yet... but I like the sound of $300 as opposed to $1000

I paid $119 for my first service on the 696 today.
My rides:  2009 M696, couple of cages, a few grass eating get-alongs, and some asics.

If you pay that much for the 7500 service on a 4 valve engine you recieved a brutal raping. On a 2 valve it should be even less. My dealer quoted me about 700 with a full shim kit for my s4rs. They also said they would credit me for the unused shims. I would be surprised if that service on a 2 valver was over 500 bucks.
I'm here to kick a*! and chew bubble gum...and I'm all out of bubble gum.

just looked at the bill from my 6k service
795.00, which included the cost of a new set of pilot road 2ct
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

Mine is in now for this service. The estimate is about $600, Dallas/Fort Worth area. I've heard from some of the cost being even higher.

Thanks for the info guys.  I'll have to give DucSea a call soon.  I think their service department knows me pretty well by now, hah.   [bang]

People need to keep in mind that service costs vary widely by region.  Just because someone can get it done for $300, doesn't mean everyone can.  :P

But they SHOULD be able to.  That's the point.
