My 30k service

So now, i got 38k on my g. I need to get the major service done. My dealer said 700 dollars for it last time i was there. So i told him just do the regular oil service. I think i may have found a good shop to do my service at. They wont charge me much and i think they may even do a better job. I am scheduled for it this sat. If they do a good job i ll let you guys know the name of the shop. Its here in so cal.

30K service doesn't involve too much. It should list what's needed in the manual (I forget off the top of my head). I agree 700 dollars is a bit overkill.

According to the Premium Maintenance Schedule for my 2009 coupe - the 30K service includes draining\flushing a good deal of fluids in the car. If you go that route, I could see it getting pricey, especially at the dealership.

I only have 4000 miles on my coupe so far, so I have some time to decide whether to follow schedule 1 or Premium maintenance...I'm really interested in what others are doing when they hit 30K.

Premium Maintenance (30,000 miles or 24 months)
- Replace engine oil and filter
- Lubricate all locks/hinges
- Replace automatic transmission fluid (except 7-speed automatic transmission)
- Replace climate controlled seat filter (M45/M35/FX50/FX35, if so
equipped)
- Replace differential oil
- Replace engine air filter
- Replace engine coolant/flush system
- Replace engine drive belts
- Replace in-cabin microfilter
- Replace manual transmission oil
- Replace radiator cap
- Replace transfer case oil (4WD/AWD)
- Replace wiper blades
- Rotate tires (except G35 Sedan 2WD Sport and G37 Coupe 2WD Sport)
- Optional: flush automatic transmission (flush with ATF)
- Inspect the following:
__ All lights
__ Axle & suspension parts
__ Brake lines & cables
__ Brake calipers, pads, rotors
__ Brake light & cruise control
switches2
__ Drive shaft boots (4WD/AWD)
__ Exhaust system

You have the name and number for this place? I'd be interested as well. What exactly did they do for your 30K? Everything that rhyno listed above?
