Dealer cost is just outrageous. you can DIY all the things on the checklist for about $250-300. Oil change, plugs, filters, all very easy. You could probably find ans indy to do it in the $750 range.

If it were my car, at 60k and 11 years I would also change the gear oil, flush the brake fluid and flush the cooling system .

$50 for twenty minutes worth of visual inspections
