Oil change / filter
Fuel Filter
Trans. Fluid changed
Rear Diff. Fluid Change
Coolant flushed and changed
New Belt
New Plugs
Brake Fluid flushed and changed
K&N filter drop in

total=$300.00 give or take 10 bucks...sound good?:shrug:
 
It almost sounds like too good of a deal. The fluids and parts alone would cost that much. Where are the labor dollars? :scratch:

Perhaps the shop is planning to only change half those fluids and lie about the rest? This kind of fraud is very common and is why I suggest DIY. Svttech always recommends asking to observe the fluid changes to make sure they are actually done.

Yeah I was adding it up I came up with about 200 bucks in parts.
In which case 100 bucks not to have to deal with the Diff alone is worth it. IMO. I HATE GEAR LUBE SMELL.
 
Oil change / filter = $30
Fuel Filter = $15
Trans. Fluid changed =$40
Rear Diff. Fluid Change = $60
Coolant flushed and changed =$20
New Belt = $20
New Plugs = $20
Brake Fluid flushed and changed = $100
K&N filter drop in = $30

Total = $335. I am guessing on those prices so take it for what it is worth.

I would takle it all myself in a few weekends. Buy royal purple, all the top brand stuff and it will be worth the extra time and maybe some money to do it yourself.
 
Yeah, a good price for all that work. Ford charges like 50-60 bucks just for a fuel filter change. Coolant flush is usually about 50-75 bucks at a Quik lube or something.

You do it yourself and you know it gets done, but for 300 bucks....that would save you a lot of time if you're like most of us and don't have every weekend free to do whatever you want.
