30K service recommendations

i just came up on 30K and i wanted to know what shops you guys would recommend me to. all im worried about is what shops are mod friendly and which arent.

i was thinking of going to auto headquarters, but any other recommendations will be appreciated.

thanks

I can do it for you for a little fee if you got all parts or I can order it for you too.

Dude you should just pick up the parts and we can do it at my house. I can help you with most stuff except doing the auto tranny flush w/ new filter cause I think you need a machine for that. You're probably gonna do stuff like this right..

oil change / filter
spark plugs
fuel filter
air filter
brake bleed
rear diff fluid

Your power steering fluid and coolant will probably still be alright at 30K, but you can always do it if you want.

You could also try some fuel system cleaner or that sea foam stuff.

At 30K you're supposed to change the coolant

I agree that most of it is very simple and if someone offers you help, take it! The hardest stuff is spark plugs and brake bleed/change. Good Luck
