change oil service and 60,000 mile service price range?

Comments (3)

Is 30.95 a good deal for a basic change oil service? I had my car serviced at Car Max for that said amount.

It includes change oil up to 5 quarts and filter; top off washer; power steering, brake, coolant, and transmission fluids; check tire pressure, air and crankcase filters, and PCV Valve.

Also, I am nearing 60,000 miles in my car. Car Max is offering a 5.00 for a 60,000 mile check up. Is it a reasonable price?

And I thought all of these things were covered in my Max Care Warranty plan…

Needed help badly, thanks.
your answers are really helpful…. i think the oil change is indeed reasonable.

the 60K Check worth 5.00 also includes changing those parts that needed to be changed aside form the check up that they told me would usually take them minimum of 4hrs for overall inspection… so is it still worth the bucks???

thanks!

On a tight budget, need help deciding what my car needs!?

My car is a little over 25,000 miles. I get regular oil changes done to it. I haven’t rotated the tires once (oops.)

Some coupons came in from the dealership offering deals on maintenance to my car. The problem is that the costs involved are only "checking," not actually replacing the part.

I have a coupon for tire rotation .35

Four wheel alignment .95…..check steering, suspension and shocks. Set toe-in, camber and caster (where applicable.) Check tie-rods and ball joints. Check tire pressure and inspect tires for cuts, damage, and uneven wear. Plus tax.

Mainenance Special .95…..Change engine oil, filter. Rotate tires. Inspect air filter & Brake system.

I also notice that my car, when I hit bumps/potholes, makes a large rattling, especially in the front right. My friends and family say my car sounds like crap when I hit any kind of bump.

Also, sometimes when I brake, I hear a light knocking coming from the front, my brake pedal is fine, it’s just coming from where the tires are I think.

So, please give me advice. Which coupon(s) should I /need I use, and do you think they can check the rattling since my car is still under warranty?

Thanks!
