No, if your trans fails after it most likely it was screwed to begin with.

Change the timing belt at 100k, period.

You're paying them to do jobs that could be done in your driveway, their price is only reasonable if it's worth it to you. Personally I would laugh in their faces and do it myself.

Make sure the correct fluids are being used, and I can safely bet my gentlemens sausage that they don't have Dia Queen Automatic Transmission Fluid (Part # MZ313771) as required.

There is no reason to pay them almost $500 for fluids and parts that will cost you just over $100 in total, unless you have two broken hands.

 

oil change - $30 or $20 and 45 minutes on a Saturday in your driveway.

tire rotation - $19.99 or $00.00 and ten minutes while you're waiting for the oil to finish draining on that Saturday morning. Now you also don't have some fool with an impact wrench going all NASCAR pitstop on your lugs and torquing off a few.

coolant flush - $75-$100 I'd be lying if I said I didn't pay for my 30k coolant flush.

tranny flush - Same as coolant flush.

brake fluid exchange - $20 for some nice brake fluid + $20 for a power bleeder (unless AutoZone rents them for free?) to save yourself a huge headache, and then 45-60 minutes.

air filter - $25 or less on amazon for OEM Bosch, or $35-$55 for performance aftermarket like K&N or Cosworth (My K&N literally paid for itself in MPG gains after only 6 weeks). If you pay someone to replace this, just sell your car. Seriously, it's a 3 minute job if you take a smoke break in the middle.

cabin air filter - $15 or less on amazon for OEM Bosch, or $5 for aftermarket. This is literally easier to replace than the engine air filter. If you pay someone to replace this, just light the car on fire and be done with it.

 

Even those prices are high. A giant bottle of synthetic DOT-3 brake fluid is less than $10, and coolant only costs $15 per gallon for the expensive stuff.

 

Is this a good price?

Honestly, I see a lot of fluff in there. An eyebrow raiser is the ProLine antifreeze. I would not let that into my vehicle. There are no specs on their site and there is better stuff out there. Off the top of my head is Zerex and Peak Global. If you can supply your oil, you should be able to supply your own coolant.

Rear diff charge is high. that is a straight drain & fill activity, with a bit of a trick to get the new fluid in. they didn't mention the transfer case...that fluid gets changed too, don't forget.

After doing the spark plugs myself, that one might be worth it. That was such a pain in the rear to do. Something about ripping the top half of the engine apart just to get the spark plugs kinda irritates me.

 

Please don't pay someone to replace your air filter... it's seriously really easy.

 

Yeah, I was guesstimating lol

 

$326 to change spark plugs? You've got to be kidding me.

 

air inlet to the throttle body, upper plenum, a whole crapload of wires/hoses/brackets, strut bar all come off, then it all has to go back together. plugs were 12 a piece. Comes to about 250 in labor. 3-4 hours would be about what it took us to do it. It sure wasn't the same as my Eclipse's 1.8L and even my old chevy 350.
