And you live in what country?

The only thing that you should be paying for (provided that you want
the dealershipt to do anything) is an oil and transmission change.
These you could do yourself as well but at the most, that is what the
dealer should do. You can change the air filter yourself. I'm not sure
about the 03s if you have to drain the coolant or not as most recent
cars can you can keep the coolant in as long as the time you will need
to change the timing belt. Don't get suckered into one of those
package deals as all it is in fluff to get a larger profit for work
not done.

I just had this issue come up, one dealership said i was going to ahev to
pay 370 ish for their 30 k package deal, then i went to another
dealership
and I only had to pay $140, but they only did the oil change, air filter
and coolent, They did not do a spark plug change (it required in the
manual) but they said i have 60k spark plugs, and that they looked at
them
and they did not need to be changed. Is a transmission fluid change
required? Becasue they did not do that either

An ATF change is required on the severe usage chart. I'd do it on my car
at 30k just on principle.

Also forgot to mention spark plugs, as they only cost a few dollars
it's a good idea to change them. If not I wouldn't go past 50k with
them unless they are platinum. I believe most platinum plugs can go
about 100k before they need to be changed.
