100,000 mile service

[irish]

My dealership wants $410.78 for 100k service which includes new plugs, pcv valve, new coolant, & check belts. Does this seem reasonable or should I look elswhere, thanks for any opinions !!:beer:

sounds about like dealer prices. All easily DIY for much cheaper. Plugs - takes about 15-30 minutes, pcv valve - 10 minutes, belt (only 1) - 10 minutes (if replace), coolant 30 minutes?

^^^^^^ What he said ^^^^^^^

If you've got tools and basic mechanical skills, the stuff mentioned is all easiliy DYI.

Make sure engine is cold when you change the plugs, use anti-sieze on them, and torque them to 11 ft lbs.

Also, make sure you burp the cooling system real well to get all the air out of it after changing the coolant.

$410 is "reasonable" as far as dealer-outrageous pricing, but there's about $70 worth of parts in that quote so the other $340 is labour. You can DIY the whole job in under two hours...if you work really slow.

Yeah....all that stuff is DIY and much cheaper if you do.....I took mine in for coolant flush, trans flush, engin oil, and rear end fluid change...I also had an oil leak that needed attention....did all that for about 5 bills....did the rest that you mentioned myself.
