Default 15,000 mile servicing.

I really dont wanna fork over a bunch of money to a dealer. It says i need to tighten a drive shaft bolt this time, and inspect some extra stuff.What do you guys see as a better option? the oil change i'll do myself of course but i dont know about the other stuff.

I dont have my manual in front of me to see what is on the 15K warranty, but i have about 13,000 miles now...and I dont plan on taking mine to get serviced for 15K, I like doing my stuff myself...I can just check that stuff out, it mostly seems its stuff to check your axle boots and bolts for tightness, and typical oil/filter changes....

Goodluck!

i have one of those coming up soon, what exactly will they do, and for how much?
i usually do all my own service, i can change oil, rotate tires, change brakes, and check fluids...i'm not sure it would be worth it to me

See how much the dealership is going to charge. If it's not much, then have them do it. Unless you want too.

I just ask for an oil change and my local dealer checks all the basic stuff anyway, only charging for an oil change. No need to pay extra until at least 30k miles.

The only reason to ever go to the stealership is for warranty work. The axle nut can be checked by any mechanic with a torq wrench. Why spend hard earned money on crap like that unless you are rich? It's funny how they come up with thes intervals for service checks and such. What a rip. LOL

Should anyone need to know? The torq for that axle nut is 75 lb. ft.
