I want to skip the dealership and go to a mechanic and get it done for a small fraction of the cost. I have included their service in the images below. Price ranges from $1200 to $1600. What do you guys think?
Un-sure if you have any mod's.
i perform all of my maintenance & repairs,but these are some suggested things i would do:

1-engine oil & filter.
2-trans. oil (drain & fill).
3-diff. oil (drain & fill).
4-serpentine belt (ck. pulley's & tensioner while belt is off).
5-spark-plugs (thinking 90k for non-Nismo).
6-Inspect rear diff bushing well;as these are prone to break & leak fluid out/causing a bumping noise...UpGraded bushings are ready available & not hard to install by qualified tech.
7-cab air filter (yearly or every 20k or so).
8-key fob batteries.
9-car battery usually goes 5years easily; changed mine 5yrs. from build date for preventive maintenance & used old one for lawnmower battery.
10-un-sure if the MT's have an adjustable clutch (adjust as required)
11-brake fluid or clutch fluid (if determined needed by tech) driving habits w/determine this.
12-inspect spare tire.
13-keep a/c condenser core & radiator fins clean.
14-be sure parking brake pads are being inspected w/brakes are inspected & adjust from opening in rear rotor's as needed.
15-hub bearings.
16-remove & clean maf's.

order may be a bit out of whack-as i typed as i thought of things.
part's like engine air filters,wiper blades,tires,brakes,lights,u-joints,bushings,door hinge lube, should be inspected/performed every service & replaced as needed.
