My Car is Leased should I get 15K Service? Need Opinions Pleeze

My car is leased, its at the 15K mark, I checked my maual and I saw the list of stuff that needs to be done.. basically its a glorified oil change with a bunch of inspect this and inpect that. Do you guys think its worth it? I haven't even begun asking around for prices and my only concern is will it screw me in the end during turning in the car after the lease is over if I dont get this stuff done? I didnt even do my 7500 mi. service cuz I thought it wasn't worth it either, I just get the oil changed at every 3000 miles and tires rotated at 5000miles.

I had the 15,000 mile service done and it cost me $125.

I'm leasing also and this is my 4th. Acura from Hillside Bay Shore. I do the service because any time I have any other type problem, very few, I never have a problem with getting it fix or getting a loaner car, which I got a 2004 TSX last week because they had to fix my drivers seat.

I spent may about $300 for all the services for the three years that I lease for. So that's only $100 per year which is not alot for excellent service that I receive from them.

Well I am due for mine in a month or so. Glad to hear that I don't need it. Oil Change, rotate tires... what else should be done? Inspect brakes?

I have my 60k comming up (currently @ 59k) and I had my tranny replaced @ 40k. Am I going to get a flush? No. Would I get a flush @ 90k? No. Unlike others...I am PLANNING on a 3rd tranny BEFORE my 100k wears out.

If it was a lease...I wouldnt pay for a flush at all. You wouldn't be responsible for any damage since the manual states that you can go to 60k without a flush (even though we KNOW it's BS).

Once I'm over the 100k mile mark, then I'll be getting a flush every 30k.....45k if I'm using synthetic.

Ask them to do only what the service manual states for severe driving conditions....This way no one can complain that you did not service it.

the only thing our cars need is, is oil changes. i havent done a single thing as far as maintinence except i changed the plugs at 130k. that little maint, is just a way for the dealer to make money.

all you need is a oil change... i'm just at 45000 miles and i should be brining my car in for it's service, from what they told me, i need my tranny fluid changed, radiator fluid, and also rotate my tires. They said it'll cost 345 dollars and i'm not sure if it's worth it, b/c i always rotate my tires, and i just bought new ones recently, plus i can change my own radiator fluid, so 345 for a tranny flush? i'm not to sure if i wanna go to the dealorship, or somewhere else...
