30 month maintenance ??
what do you guys think? I just got an email to bring it in for my 30 month ??
2011 z with 25k, always serviced at dealer every 3k miles (Oil changes), 4 wheel alignment at 19k, yearly inspections at dealership, etc. Shouldn't everything they have on the list have been looked over at inspection 3 months, and 1k miles ago?? With the exception of the tire rotation, of course!! Let the experts speak..........

If I took mine in for service every time I get one of those, I'd get 100 miles between oil changes!

Have never brought any vehicle back to a dealershit for any type of work unless it was for warranty/recall. Most of the stuff on these "lists" are easy things you can do at home and are bloated with nonsense like $15 to lube the muffler bearings and top off fluids. Yea, tell them gas is a fluid and to top that off.

I will do all of the maintenance on all my vehicles, except the one thats under warranty. (the z). I got burned once by a dealer because I did previous maint., and they would not cover a major issue under warranty.
For that reason alone, I gladly pay the pittance they want to do it, that way the ball is in their court, so to speak, if trouble arises. Yes, I could have fought it out with them, but thats not my style. This way they change the diapers, its their fault if I get a rash.

I never knew that a date number would be the reason for maintenance
