Car Maintenance

They want the same amount for my 60k check up. I've had to put it off!

Anyway, 30 k is when they change out all the fluids like transmission, power steering or brakes or whatever you have. They check all hoses, axles, engine mounts,exhaust. Pretty much a thorough check is supposed to take place.

I'm sure it's necessary to make sure everything is where it's supposed to be but damn does it have to be so expensive!

I can list it all if you like but it will be long!

I don't know if a non-auto dealership would have a better price {I forget the name of the place where they change your oil...I think they do more, too} but with the dealer you should get a car rental.

And, my major service was $399. from the Ford dealer. I hope they did all they were supposed to....how can you be sure?????

That sounds like what they want to do. I suppose a major "check up" is what it is. I wonder if they take insurance.
