He was saying $700, which is high especially since free maint only covers the required maintenance.

That means 7.5k, 15k and 22.5k oil changes. Tire rotation may be spec at 15k, who knows, and the "multi point inspection" aka "yeah it looks fine". Oh and if it's a Scion, every maint time includes a free check of the drivers floor mat installation. So maybe $200 worth?

Scion roadside is 2 years, Subaru is 3.
