Need some help.

So I just got off the phone ( about 2 hrs ago) with the dealership the Yukon was purchased from and got a quote for the following.

- All fluids flushed and replaced
- New spark plugs
- Tune Up
All for $1200

Basically a 50k mile service... Just hit 50k:(

Does that sounds like I'm getting ripped?? It doesn't to me as the Jeep was a lot more.

Your fluids nor the plugs and wires should need done at 50k.

Your plugs as long they are ac delco last for 100k miles. Your owners manual tells you when to do everything. Its in the back of it.

Nothing major should be done until like 80K-100K. Just look for leaks around waterpump as thats what gm fails on on these trucks.

My mother.

She's not the average girl though. She runs 92 24/7 and always warms it up. She's a lot like a guy with these rigs.

I'm not aware of many mod that'll truly prolong the life of a vehicle unless you consider running synthetics as a mod. Just good maintenance is the key to long life. Regular oil changes, consistent fluid changes,....


also, don't pay a dealership 1200 to do what you posted a page back unless you just don't have the time to learn how to do that stuff yourself. As stated the plugs won't need changed until at least 100k and when the time comes is VERY straight forward to do yourself with just simple tools. Same thing goes for the fluid flush. You'll save yourself $900 off that bill doing it yourself.

Always run synthetic.
