Subaru Forester 2017 - Hit my 60,000 miles. They quoted me about $1000 bucks for the full maintenance. Break down:
- Synthetic Oil Change ($10 labor, $67 parts)
- Tire rotation ($25 labor)
- Brake flush ($95 labor, $61 parts)
- Spark plugs (x4), cabin filter, air filter ($480 labor) Parts:
- $40 air filter
- $71 cabin filter
- $134.32 IRIDIUM PLUGs (x4)
All added up with tax comes out to almost exactly $1000.
I’m sick of paying so much, I want to learn to do this myself. I am not a very handy person but I am a good learner and hard worker.
Of the above. Which ones are reasonable for me to do myself? Which ones should I just let them do? Which ones are probably an over-caution which can be put off?
Thanks!
Do your own brake flush for about the same cost but you’ll save on the next one after you own the tools, all of #4 can be done yourself for around $200 total at most probably. Oil change is cheap but you can save on the labor cost. Tire rotation is quick and easy, but if they’re going to do any sort of alignment just take it in
