  The 60k service can be done by aby reputable shop. I would definitely go to one
that could print you out a copy of the recommended service using Mitchell On
Demand or Alldata, etc. Then, make sure that they use the list as a checklist and
give it to you when they are done. This can be a real selling point for a
prospective buyer. The dealer will do the same, but they will charge you big
bucks because they are the dealer. I know....I have run a small, two bay shop for
several years and have successfully competed with the dealers ONLY because we
have offered honest, truthful, good work for a reasonable price. In a small town,
you can only screw a customer ONCE!
