This is all I would have done at 77k miles if you don't know if they have ever been done before.
REAR AXLE SERVICE $229.95
TRANSMISSION SERVICE $219.95
COOLANT FLUSH $179.95
BRAKE FLUSH $109.95
POWER STEERING FLUSH $109.95
And of course an oil/filter change for the engine..
The only one that seems high on this list is the rear axle service, but it's an important thing and if you don't want to get your hand dirty... Well, there you go..
Glad to know I am saving a lot of money when I do those services myself... :)
I've wrenched on cars my whole life, so no big deal for me.. Really glad my Dad let me help him in the garage as a kid ( I'm 52 years old now). I spent my money in TOOLS pretty early on, so I've got a nice set now... :) Specialty tools you can usually rent, but you still have to know how to use them..
Now that I'm up there in years, and can afford to pay someone to do some of the less "fun" things now, I'll do that instead of get my hands dirty.. Just depends on my "mood" at the time and if I really feel like doing it or not..
Good luck!
