    Fuck, scheduled car maintenance $519???

    Just called my hyundai dealership to get my 2001 Elantra 4 year / 60k mile scheduled maintenance done. $519 plus tax!! Someone tell me what I should pay for the following:

    -Oil Change & Filter
    -Fuel Filter Change
    -Air Cleaner Filter
    -Platinum Spark plugs (4)
    -Engine coolant replaced
    -Timing Belt (optional)
    -Whole bunch of shit inspected, like brakes, joints, fluids, etc

    I'd think like $250 tops not $519. Is that outrageous???

      Yes it's outrageous and probably because it's required to keep you under warranty?

          Yeah. 5 year warantee, so i'm at the 4 year mark. Car has been awesome though - 1 headlight out in 4 years, thats IT! Even towed a trailer 2000 miles with that tiny 140HP engine, no problem.

          Anyone got a price I should be aiming for instead?

                  Don't take it to the dealer. The warranty will still cover it if you take it elsewhere and keep the receipts.

                      That does seem overpriced but it's part of the warranty program..they nail you either way

                          timing belt costs at least half of that estimate.

                          your 250$ estimate is correct (without the timing belt)

                                  Haha I know, the car is valued at like $6k now after 4 years. $500 is like what, 9% of the car? haha

                                      The timing belt is the biggest cost, it is also the one thing that you will regret not getting done if it breaks on you.
