Mikey,
I glanced through the first thread & didn't look at the others, so forgive me if this info is in the threads - the most important thing when taking your VX to the dealer for a 15k, 30k, 45k (whatever) checkup is to MAKE SURE they are doing what needs to be done, and not just their normal laundry list. I asked for a list of what they planned to do for my 30k checkup, and found for $550 they were doing a lot of checking (I can do that a lot cheaper than they can!), and weren't doing some of the important items - Differential fluid changes and wheel bearing repacks.
I made my own list (from the VX owner's manual) and took it in. I ended up getting a lot more actual work (and less checking) for the same or less money.
