I just went to Rob at Z car garage to ask him about this service. He said it consists of at most changing fluids (tranny, diff, brake, coolant) as needed. Changing air filter and doing oil change.

I change my own oil and have cleanable filters on my JWT pop chargers (so I clean them myself). That leaves coolant and diff and tyranny fluid change.

Zcargarage is Waaay better than dealer uses better fluids and will cost about 200 buck max for the service.

IN other words. IMHO, Do the easy stuff yourself and have a good garage do the rest unless you are using dealer for warranty purposes.

Dealerships are NOT magic. The mechanics are no better and they do lots of expensive and unnecessary stuff to your car.

Better to form a relationship with a reputable mechanic and do just what is needed to your car. (Just the stuff in the 30k service which you haven't already done yourself)
