No need to spend 500 bucks on stuff I'm more than capable of doing. But I'm looking for some reference about the first thing on the list regarding suspension, driveline, and steering. Anyone know what needs to be done?

I like how they recommend putting a transmission additive in it it says in my manual that adding additives may void the warranty or something like that

Also why change spark plugs at 30k? Must get a free reach-around with that deal

Manual calls for 102k but I changed mine at 50k, 100k, and they'll be done again at 150k. They come out smoothly and the gaps are always to the point where I don't feel bad about replacing them.

30k is overkill though.

The 2.4L and 1.4L 4 cylinder engines are all belt driven. That includes many of the Avenger/200, Dart, Compass/Patriot, Journey, all Fiats, plus other discontinued vehicles.

The 1.4 and 1.4T require spark plug replacement at 32k miles. I couldn't believe it but my wife drives a 500 cabrio and it's in the manual. Very easy to replace and did it myself for about $20 (buying at the dealer to avoid potential warranty issues).

Wow reading stuff like this from the dealer is killing me. Seriously don't bother doing any of that besides the oil change.

At 60k I would do all the fluids and spark plugs. That's about it.
