30k service in OC
Hope I don't replicate what's already been said, but I did a search for this topic and got nothing good...
Can anyone recommend a decent place in the Irvine area to take my car for 30k service? I'm trying to avoid the dealership, but if I don't find any alternatives, I will go down that dark path.
Thanks!

Wow...I'm totally blown away you'd offer this to a complete stranger. I don't know if I should accept just on the fact that you've probably got better things to do on a saturday than to look at someone else's timing belts. I don't mind paying a shop b/c it's really the time factor.

I change my tranny, brake, and plugs every 15k
fuel filter every 30k
But that's just me because the way I drive
Oh yeah I use redline shockproof red
and any high grade synthetic oil 15-50W
