60k Service Costs/worth??

[allodial]

Wasn't able to find any posts on this...

Anyone had the 60k service done at the dealer?
Cost? What it included?

Debating whether or not to suck up this big nut or do it myself / locally....

thanks for the list... alot of that stuff seems like easy diy things...

i was also thinking it was gonna run close to $1000 for the full on 60k service... anyone else compare to the $433 one?

overall thoughts?

Reset Service reminder light $ 0.95

I was quoted $28 just for that item today. I suspect all those prices are equally deflated from the stealership rates.

Agree. My dealership wants $100 for the coolant flush alone, and this is a "service special". Edmunds shows about $50 for parts/labor for the same service.

I'm less than 2K miles from the 60K service, so don't have an actual invoice to share yet. Others have already crossed the threshold and may chime in with real world examples...

Hi Thor-

Who do you use as an Indy? I live in North Jersey as well.

After checking, the local dealership here is ~ $675 for the required 60K service items.

? for DMike -- LR3 Tranny fluid

Mike thats a great list (in fact 2 years ago I did the 60K service on my old disco 2 based off of a post of yours from a few years ago).

Anyways -- I had thought the trannys on these LR3s (us market, auto for the euros here) used some super special (read: expensive and hard to find) transmission fluid. Isnt that the case? Regular old ATF work ?
