·I'm a little past due for my 30k mile maintenance - the stealerships want about $350 for everything including Flush & Fill coolant with a new process that gets everything out of heater core and everything ($99.95), power flush the fuel injectors and clean the throttle body, new fuel filter, etc ($175.95), completely drain tranny fluid including torque converter new filter, etc. and replace with valvoline synthetic tranny fluid good for 60k miles ($179.99), then they recommend oil change and tire rotation/alignment, but that I already have taken care of.
Here is what I am thinking of doing, I go to Valvoline Instant Oil Change for all my oil changes and had a few other things done there in the past and was happy with them. So I am thinking of getting these services done by them instead of the stealership, what do you guys think, here is what Valvoline does:
Tranny service - http://www.vioc.com/serv_trans.asp - $80
Fuel System Service - http://www.vioc.com/serv_fuel_syn_entire.asp - $75
Cooling system - http://www.vioc.com/serv_css.asp - $40
Plus I get a 20% discount on these b/c of a discount card I have from work.
So is it a good idea to do all this?
