30K mile service???????

[Kerry]

I have a 07 base that just hit 20K. Here's what worked for me:
I used a local Goodyear shop that I have trusted with all my American sedans for 15 years to change the oil and replace the brake fluid at about 15K miles. I bring in all the parts and he charges me very modest labor ($20 oil change, $75 brake fluid change).
I replaced the cabin and air filters myself at about 15K miles.
At 20K miles I took the car to a local indy (Fischer in Barrington) who did the rest (road test, read out fault memory, all the visual checks) for about an hour of labor time. Rick Fischer was a great guy who gave me several suggestions regarding brake and tire wear without any big sales pitch.
Total cost was about $350 all parts and labor. Dealership wanted $900

Here is something you dont want to overlook. your serpentine belt. depending on how hard you drive your car you might want to replace it between 40-50k . the belt only costs $10.00 , I do my own so I dont know what the mech will charge you but it cant be much, push both your seats forward, remove carpet remove 8 ors 10mm bolt and 2 nuts and there is your belt - a 24mm box wrench and you can release the tensioner and install the belt. my 2c
