Reccommended Services > Good Deal?

Coolant Flush w/ dexcool 65.97 (25 labor)
Transmission Flush 104.99 (60 labor)
Fuel system Tuneup 69.99 (40 labor)
Spark Plug Replacement 85.24 (55 labor)


Total $350


I was wondering if you guys think this is a good deal. I dont really need to do all of this right now, but I plan on having it done in the near future.

Also, how much might it cost to have a transmission cooler installed? I dont know jack about this kind of stuff, so I dont want to mess with a DIY. Thanks.

are you a 3.0 or a 2.x auto? Be careful with that tranny of yours... I think some of the other 3.0 owners on the site will recommened against getting a complete flush.. Wait on what they have to say.

-coolant flush price isnt that bad
-NO TRANNY FLUSH!!!! drain and fill only. Flushing's a shitty idea
-fuel system tuneup? more than likely the fuel filter and some gas additive
-spark plug replacement is sooo easy, dont even go with that rip-off



in short, do you know someone who can do all this? If so, have the stuff ready, get the tools, and buy em a case of beer. It'll save you big time $$$$. None of that stuff is hard, at all.

Right on, thanks for the help. Its a 3.0 by the way. I wasnt sure about the tranny flush. Guess I wont mess with that.

I have some buds who know a bit about this kind of stuff, but I wanted to make sure it was done right. The fuel system tuneup involves an Ever-Wear 3-Step Fuel System Cleaner. It doesnt seem like a bad idea for 70 bucks. The spark plug quote was a bit crazy tho!

Now how bout that transmission cooler?
