- 2016.5 Touring FWD
Took my car in for oil change and 60K service to the local dealership. Car is out of warranty. They suggested all of these attached (cheapest package at $691). Ended up only doing Oil change, inspection, lubricate body latch, locks, hinges, Torque body fasteners and install windshield washer fluid. I'm not somebody who can work on cars (time, space, tools skill, knowledge) but changed both air filters as well as replaced wiper blade inserts on my own with parts I bought on Amzn. Tire rotation was not needed. So ended up paying for the oil change.
Should I have paid for these other items like brake fluid exchange, fuel induction cleaning service or am I okay for now?
They did say Belt tensioner is leaking as well as Timing cover need resealing. Quoted $2929.00 If tensioner work only it is $627.00
I like to keep the vehicle for another 5 years (70K more miles or so ) so would appreciate suggestions on what I should get done proactively or routinely every year. Hoping to keep it at $500-700 range per year including 2 oil changes.
Wondering if it would be cost efficient to find a non-dealer repair shop. This is in the San Jose bay area. Thanks.
