David,

Thanks for your inquiry. The 25 hour service is done here in the U.S. It is a flat rate fee of $250. The 50 hour service is performed in Germany, however it is also only a flat rate fee of $250, and this includes the return shipping. You are only responsible for the shipping to Germany, which can be done for less than $100. Even at $350 total (barring any FOD or crash damage), that is about the least expensive European service on the market.

Combine that with a 5 year warranty and you'll have an engine that will provide years of reliable service.
