Default Maintenance

Okay, I used the search button for maintenance but nothing popped up in my search. I have my scheduled service coming up this week and was wondering what is the average price going for it. What do they usually do when they perform maintenance on your Vette? Spark plugs ,etc.....

General maintenence is usually...

Oil Change

Spark Plugs and wires

Going over belts hoses, all fluid levels.

Checking tires/pressure.


Maintenance services differ with mileage. I myself would do this yourself as the dealer will rape you with there labor.

Generally give everything a once over.
  • Belts
  • Fluids
  • Radiator debris
  • Tire pressure
  • Brakes

After I bought it I drove it to break everything in, 6000 miles, then I changed all the fluids from stock to Royal Purple.
  • Change slave cylinder fluid every week

Well, the only thing I have had the dealer do is flush and fill the coolant - cost me less than $50.
