what all is getting done? my best friend is a journeyman mechanic so I havent paid labor in 10 years...

That's less than 6 tanks of fuel. What's the problem? :blink:



Unrelated, but FYI, I had a transmission service done at the dealer for my '01. $190 for dropping the pan, changing the filter, adjusting the bands and computer diagnostic. Plus when I picked it up they washed it and shined the tires. Looked like they prepped it for the lot!

Yes, $450 here in CT

I skipped the dealership and went to local oil changing place and they did everything for about $150. I skip the dealership when possible.

I skiped out on the whole check-up since it is nothing more than a scam.

$150 to change the oil, air filter, wash it off, and look around?!



The 30,000 check-up is a scam. Do it yourself in an hour and save a BUNCH of money, and also have the pleasure of knowing it was all done RIGHT.



These packaged service "deals" are great for the dealer and oil change places.
