67k service!!!

[liquid]

I called Northland to make an appointment for my 67k service today, and they informed me it would be almost $500. What in the world do they do to charge $500? I've done all my previous services at NL, and would like to again.... but I don't want to pay 500 bux. What have people on here done? Bite the bullet?

Yep, the 64k and 128k "D" services are pricey as %^&$. Luckily I am at 41K and wont have to worry about it for a while.

Good call Ryan.... but I'm not sure of what is all involved. What else do they change besides the spark-plugs?

Re: 67k service!!!

Re: 67k service!!!

I bit the bullet on the 64k but I still had stock wheels etc on so I got benefit out of everything done. For the 128 (which is a ways away) ill do the $$ parts myself tho

Re: 67k service!!!

Man that's alot to do on my own. Especially for someone like me who lacks the neccesary tools and mechanical know how.

Thought brake flush was a separate service, for like $90. At least that was what they charged me last time.

BTW, I'm going in for my 64000 tomorrow.

Yup, $108.32 for plugs (4). Says on the checklist that platinum plugs are extra. I wonder how big of a loan you gotta take for those.

Was $415 total.
