hey everybody, i was wondering what are some good shops in the tri-state area to get my 60k service done? Ive been looking around and found some but id like to know what else is out there. Also, around what should i be expecting to pay? thanks!

 

pm me and well talk

 

what all do you need for a 60k mile service?

 

i spent nearly $1500 for my 60k service

 

Where in NJ you located??

 

Wow man. Sure glad I can work on my own ****

 

timing and serpentine belts, water pump, coolant hoses (Mitsu. recommends it, but I didn't do mine and I haven't had a problem. Im as 71k) and all fluids. (t-case, diffs, tranny, power steering fluid and anyothers I forgot)

 

This being the meat of it
-Water Pump
-Balance Belt Tensioner
-Balance Belt
-Timing Belt
-Timing Belt Tensioner
-Timing Belt Tensioner Pulley
-Timing Belt Idler Pulley
-Serp Belt

I do Drivetrain Fluids more often the 30k so...

 

water pump isn't needed until 120k, but your spark plugs, and drivetrain fluids should be in there at 60k. check the service manual for the list.

 

damn that looks like it will be expensive!

 

Luckily it only has to be done every 60,000 Miles..who in their right mind would drive an evo past that..

 

it says "230,000 and going strong" in ur sig. LOL

 

Does anyone has occured problem with the water pump ? I mean, on my past cars, when i was doing the 60k service, i was changing the water pump because if it fail at 75k you will have to do the timing belt job again.

So, anyone has their water pump failed before 120k with neir to stock evo's ???

 

to answer your question, nope. I didn't change mine until 120k and even then it didn't look like there was anything wrong with it. changing it at 60k is a waste of money IMO.

 

I don't have any statistics but I know some water pumps make it to 120K and some don't.
