My car has about 37,000 miles..... I've gotten oil changes pretty prompt.
What other maintenaince should i do?

Diff and tranny fluid.

kenchan · 03-04-2014, 02:11 PM

maybe brake fluid too if your brakes feel spongy. tranny can probably wait.

Chuck33079 · 03-04-2014, 02:14 PM

I noticed a huge difference difference changing to a good synthetic tranny fluid, and I did it at 17k miles. For the cost of a few quarts of fluid and some washers, I can't imagine why one wouldn't.

tranny fluid it is then, if ones having issues.

Brake fluid should be flushed every 3/30k miles, it will absorb moisture over time and during a panic stop can boil out.

At 30K we suggest:

Coolant Drain/Fill
Brake Flush
Tranny & Diffy Fluid Change
Oil Change
and a bunch of checks on things you normally wouldn't look at (brake pads, overall conditions, etc)

When they told you list of things they are going to do and you hear them say "rotate tires" did you really LOL? Because that would of been ultra trolling

I did ask them where they were going to rotate them to. I got a mental picture of a guy standing next too my vehicle on a lift and the tech is just spinning my wheels while it's in the air. Technically that would be rotating my tires

I should open up a shop and advertise free tire rotations. Then I'll just do burnouts in the customer's car
