Just go about what you do methodically and use the Pelican guides or buy the 101 Projects for your 911 book.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I took my car for my first oil change since I bought the car. Good news is, no metal shavings in the oil filter and no major issues! They said it doesn't look like the 60k service has been done (I am just over 61k). So here are the things they are recommending. Please let me know if these seem to be reasonable prices
60k Service: $1150.00
Coolant Reservoir and Coolant T Connector (leaking): $850
Brake Flush: $140.00
Transmission Service: $125.00
Should I attempt to do the reservoir and T connector myself? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Do you have the space, tools and ability to DIY ? If you do, you can save yourself an awful lot of cash - and at the same time, you'll be sure the work was actually done correctly (ya think I don't trust many shops?). There's nothing on that list that entails that much. $1150 for 60k service ? What does that include; Oil, brake pads, (I know it doesn't include rotors)? FWIW the "brake flush" and "tranny service" (again, what does "service" include?) seem decent IF they are actually done and done correctly and completely. Good luck
Do the brake flush yourself. But a Motive Power bleeder (metal cap) ~$75. 1 liter brake fluid ~17-$50 depending on what brake fluid. ATE type 200 is more than fine for street and AX driving and will work for basic track/DE as well ~ $17/liter
$125 for a transmission fluid change is cheap
Don't need it unless you get air into the abs system by letting the master cylinder reservoir go dry and even then you can probably get the air out without it.
Thanks for all the info. So ultimately how I am reading this is I should change the spark plugs, pollen filter (cabin), polyrib belt (drive), and the fuel filter. Then the rest is all inspections. I think I will have them do the brake and tranny flush and at the very least purchase the parts myself. Anyone have recommendations for the parts listed above? I will order the coolant reservoir as well.
The coolant reservoir is cheap but a pain to replace. Threads are available for DIYs though, see FAQ/search.
Just go about what you do methodically and use the Pelican guides or buy the 101 Projects for your 911 book. Mine is the most worn book in the house
. Personally getting ready to fix a coolant leak for a whopping $13 thanks to Pelican Parts & the FAQ page. Good luck-
