30K/60K Service Question - 18/04/07 12:01 PM
Hey guys-just got my truck (2002 SE 4x4) serviced. Just an oil change. Mileage is at 56K. I'm coming up to a major service and they gave me an estimate. I had to have my diapers changed when I got the estimate. They are charging almost 1K for the service, not including belts. They are telling me that my a/c belt, alt belt and power steering are cracking and well need to be replaced "soon." Back in NJ, I obviously had a 30K major service done and I don't remember it being that expensive. I'm still looking for the receipt. Any how-they are trying to sell me on this service that includes "power flushing" of the transmission, diff and engine amongst other things. Obviously until I post the specifics of the service-no one can know what I am getting for 1K of charges. But what is the benefits of this "flushing" that they are pushing and do I really need it.
Thanks.
Just wanted to add. I just called another dealership. Their 30K service (replace all fluids) does not include the flushing service and they are asking 500 bucks. His opinion about power flushing is "based on how bad the fluids look when they are removed..typically we do not perform power flushing unless you beat on your truck and not take care of it." Rather curious.
