They are usually around $300 or so. You can probably get it done at a local lube shop quicker and cheaper. 30/60/90's are great maintenance packages to do. However dealerships list a whole gagle of items that they claim to change. Well if you car has one they change it. If it doesn't they don't. They make it appear as if you are getting a whole lot more than you are so they justify the price that way. The key items to change at 30K are the transmission fluid, and the radiator fluid. You can find other shops that will do 30K's for around $159 and they will adress the critical issues. They won't list a pile of silly items that your vehicle may or may not have on it anyway.For instance, some vehicles have PCV valves some don't these days. In fact more than most don't these days. You will find that part on the list of things changed if needed. If you don't have it you don't need it.The point is you have the right idea in keeping your car maintained but you don't necessarily need the dealer to do it.
