I've received a couple quotes for the 90K service (one independent and one dealer); there seems to be a few discrepancies...here are my questions:
1) Do I need to replace the fuel filter? Should it cost $115?
2) Do I need to do the crank seal?
3) Do I need to do idler pulleys?
4) The independent quoted flushing most of the fluids as opposed to just replacing - I'm thinking this is probably a good idea as I don't know the service history of the vehicle (it is in very good shape). There's a pretty big difference in price. Thoughts?
5) Independent quoted "drop pan/clean filter/flush tranny" is this necessary?
6) Independent quoted PCV valve - again is this necessary?
Separately, no shop seems to want to just replace starter contacts, they all want to replace the starter (they don't want to get stuck holding the bag on 5 hours of labor if the starter fails again right away). I've been quoted anywhere from $750-900 (parts and labor) - this seems REALLY high...thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
