30k mile Service quick question...did search

Even though I'm qualified to do this kind of work myself, I'd rather have it documented for warranty/records purposes that I had it done at a dealership.

How much is the full 30k service (all the fluids, serpentine belt etc etc)?

I'm planning to go to Glendale Mitsubishi (CA) since its the closest to me.

I can go to Freeway Mitsu in Duarte as well.

Any tips/suggestions?

Your probably looking at like 500-600. I say F-that do it yourself. They cant say anythig as long as you use OEM parts

I paid about $550 for all of the fluid changes and a new drive belt. It doesn't look that hard. I'm at 45,000 miles now so I have several more months before I have to do it again at 60K. What I think I'm going to do is pay someone from this forum (if there is anyone here in Fresno) to show me how to do it. I can't see continually spending that kind of money for a job that only took some tech at the dealership 40 minutes to do.

NO s***, 40 minutes?

Eh I'll still do it, just for records purposes.

This will probably be the only major service I'll pay for on the car. I'll probably do the next one myself.
