There's an independent VW mechanic here in BR that will do the DSG service every 40k for $300



That's an awesome price. The oil and filter alone run about $150. No such luck here. I ended up measuring what I drained and made an adapter to fill it through the filter housing. If you do the bottom fill method, you have to hook into the computer and when it reaches temp, open the overflow drain plug, and monitor the fluid level.

I might get the software and connector though so I can start doing all of the service myself. It's $300 or so.

Even at today's gas prices a hybrid saves me $3K a year. That works for me


I did some quick math. Assuming hybrid got 45 mpg vs small fuel efficient car at 25 mpg at $2 gallon gas for you to save $3K year you drive 7000 miles a month. Man I'm glad I don't have your commute.
