nothing yet but for my 4k check its going in for all the tweaks it needs
For me, cost savings is not the only benefit from DIY routine stuff; it's knowing first hand that it's been done and done RIGHT. For example, if you brought it in to a shop for spark plug change---how would you really even know if the job had ever been done? Unless, one is willing to mark plugs, etc., there's just too much reliance on a shop worker's honesty/integrity ...in my opinion. Sure, you can ask for old parts, etc., but still. I'd rather do it myself. So far, 15 K miles and I've spend ZERO (but I don't want to sound as if I'm bragging).
I am due for my 600 mi service. I am calling the dealer tomorrow to see how much they want or if I can maybe get them to do it for free. If they want too much, I will just do it myself.
