What is included in a standard 60,000 mile service at an auto shop?

Answer 1

Depends on the shop. The dealer will go by what the manufacturer recommends. An independent shop will do what ever they think should be done (which could be either more or less than the manufacturer recommends. Read your owners manual and have done what it recommends.

Answer 2

I'm just basing this off the last shop I worked at to make it easier.

Things that are always included:
--Oil Change
--Check for a Tire Rotation
--Inspect Air Filter
--Brake Inspection
--Check and top off all the fluids
--Check the tire pressure
--Check the charging system
--Complete undercar visual inspection (Look for leaks, check exhaust, inspect fuel/brake lines for any problems, inspection of the suspension components)
--Check spark plugs, wires, etc.
--Inspect Wiper Blades, Horn, Lights, and some other smaller stuff.

After that, we check your manufacturer's recommendation for services. At our garage, we didn't charge a lot initially for the 60,000 mile service. It cost just a little bit more for the oil change. This is because every manufacturer is different as far as what they recommend at 60,000 miles. Instead, we would check to see what the manufacturer called for and find out anything else we notice wrong. We would then call you to see if you wanted any of that done. Not all garages work that way, so ask the particular place you take it.

Things to expect to need replaced around 60,000 miles on most vehicles:

--All of your fluids. Many cars have transmission fluid that needs to be changed about every 30,000 miles. Your coolant may need to be changed as well. (As a side note: I never trusted the General Motor's recommendation of 150,000 miles on their red coolant. I've seen it go back a lot sooner. I'd get that changed if you have a Chevy or other GM Vehicle)
--Timing Belt. This is based entirely off mileage. If the manufacturer calls for it to be replaced now, it's time to replace it.
--Brakes - ESPECIALLY if you haven't had your brakes replaced at all. You definitely got your life out of them if you made it to 60,000. Expect that there may be a few things ready to be replaced by now.
--Tires - if you haven't had your tires replaced by now, it will definitely be time unless your car came with better tires than what the manufacturer normally puts on.
--Some manufacturers recommend spark plugs every 30,000 miles. Some use the premium spark plugs and you can wait until 100,000 miles. The mechanic will be able to look and tell if you need to replace them or if they are ok. He will know by a visual inspection. The wires may need to be replaced by now as well.

Ok. My fingers are tired.

Wow, i feel sorry for all the people who dont do their own auto repair, shops charge soo much money to do simple jobs. If you are mechanicaly able and willing, i would suggest that you get a repair manual and fix it yourself. water pump - 53.99 water pump gasket - 10.99 timing belt - 36.99 haynes repair manual - 24.99 total - 126.96 fluid and fluid filters are very inexpensive as well. that is the cost if you did it yourself (prices from autozone)

Answer 6

There is no such thing anymore. Many cars require no special service at 60k while others have a laundry list of recommended services.

Answer 7

They will/should change your coolant,oil and driveline fluids. Check your brakes. Actually if you look at the sheet of the things they will do, 90% of it is "check." They won't change alot.

Answer 8

as a baseline refer to your owners manual... don't get oversold
