First some facts:
I have a 2002 IS 300.
I know very little about cars
I have a basic tool set, but nothing really for cars.
I am due for my 30,000 mile tune, so I spoke to the local garage about
whats involved, and I was told:
1. Change oil - $25
2. Change Transmission fluid - $150 (without flushing it), $280 with
flush
3. Change coolant - $80
4. Change brake fluid - $90
5. Change air filter - $30
6. Change cabin filter - $50
Is that everything I need?
He said that belts and spark plugs are not changed, just inspected.
And I probably had platinum spark plugs, so I don't have to worry
about changing them yet.
#1 - I can skip since I just had it done.
#2 - A friend of mine told me that it usually costs about $50 to
change the transmission fluid.
Could my friend and the garage be talking about different things?
Because there seems to be a HUGE price difference between the two.
#5 - I saw where the air filter was, so I can do this.
#6 - I have no idea where this is...is there a website that can show
me how to do this.
I figure I can do this with just a minimal tool set.
#3 and #4 - I will have to have them do.
Thanks
