I have always been a DIY'er (have air tools and all) and will do as much as I can, but where I am in life I have to weigh time vs cost now with 3 kids and all of their stuff. I am going to have 21st century do the fluids just because I am not going to have time in the near future to do them AND the filters and belts. I think I can order the belts and knock those out from what I have seen relatively easily.
Something else I have been thinking about is brake pads. Not that it needs them necessarily, but with the chrome rims, it would be nice to have less dust. Off to research those.

Yes! Second this suggestion. I did this on my GS last winter and the difference in brake dust this year has been incredible. My wheels stay significantly cleaner, no squeaky noises, and they stop just as strong as the OEM pads.

This thing is already eating away at money (not that I didn't expect it to)! Just ordered the Duralast pads. FYI for anyone else that might be reading this, they were $65.99/axle, but they have a promo code of leaves20 that gets you 20% off and they have free shipping. Ended up being $114.xx out the door for them shipped to me.
