Due for my 45K Service and wanted suggestions of where I should go.
Would love to go to Evasive, but I'm moving to NorCal the first week of June and they're booked past that

Need it done before my drive up.

whats in a 45k service for our cars. I can prolly help you.
at my job our 45k service is oil change/tire rotation/ engine air filter replacement/
possible brake fluid flush.

I would prolly recommend

oilchange/ tire rotation if your vehicle needs it
air filter if you need it. check all fluids and etc.. prolly trans/diff fluid change

I believe checking the bushings or something, oil change, and fluid changes. Tire rotation was done recently.

I'm in OC area but can travel upwards of 626 area.

Don't get sucked into X mile services.

Look at the service manual and take care of each service interval as it comes up. Also, know how you use your own car. I track my car so I do all the services much more frequent than the manual states. And I don't wait for X miles to do it.

If you just street drive your car it should really just be an oil change and inspect other fluids. Change your air filter every year or 2. Brake fluid every couple years. Trans/diff fluid every couple years. Not really much and you certainly don't need to be spending hundreds of $ on services every 15k.

Thanks! I'll probably just do Trans Oil and Oil change then

but I'll get suggestions based on what they see and research before doing it.
