Like whoa, I recently went to my local dealer where i purchased my wheels to get a few PCV valves, and out of curiousity I picked up their "maintenance menu pricing" guide.
I crapped myself when I saw what they charged for 60K mile service.
Get a load of this: 60 K service, $349.95 (before taxes and other charges!)
What it entails:
-auto trans service (drop the pan, change filter, refill)
-emission maintenance (change fuel, air, and pcv filter)
-cooling system (drain and fill coolant)
-rotate tires
-oil & filter change
-top off p/s fluid, washer fluid
-Lube latches, hinges, and chassis (of course most of us have sealed bearings!)
-check tire pressure
-visually inspect battery, brakes, suspension, engine compartment, exhaust
-check for outstanding recalls
Yup, about 350 bucks for all of the above, and that DOESNT include changing plugs! if you want that, add 89.95 for a 6 cylinder, plus 30 bucks if you have a duratec (platinum plugs).
Can you believe that crap??
THATS why NOT doing your own maintenance = :ripped:
Glad I do mine
