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!

 

nuts to the stealership

i say we can do it

im in 90706 if you want to come up this way

if not there are some good places

 

wanna do a 60k service on my car? i'll get you a spam musubi.

 

post up everything thats involved

you know those dealership books tell what its suppose to do

 

30k:
Valvoline Brand Everything...This includes, Motor Oil, Tranny Oil, Diff Oil, and Brake Fluid. All Weather Coolant, Subaru OEM Fuel Filter and Air Filter, Rotate Tires, Washer Fluid, Check Tire Pressure, Torque Wheels, and Inspect Drivetrain/Belts.

60k:

same as 30k but changing spark plug as well.

 

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.

 

Yeah, mike will do anything as long as you return the favor. Like buying him a Spam Musubi.

 

or he will do it for the 7 bowls of ramen challenge at shinsengumi.








but he can only finish 4.5.

 

i need to do my tranny, diff, brake fluids....
although 30k on my.subaru says replace spark plugs as well

 

dealer don't replace spark plug in long beach for 30k

 

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

 

but if he can't finish 7, he'll pay for it.

 

i suppose 60k spark plugs are OK but i do run my car pretty hard, better to be on the safe side at 30k... i just know plugs are a pain...

 

i think we baby'd our cars pretty well. It was baby'd during the gamer's magazine event.

 

I can do mine in less than 30 minutes

i loved the stripped out car
