Dealer maintenance? Not if I can help it. S70 2000

Thanks James. I have checked those other things too. Although the drive shaft seems to be missing on my fwd ;-) I guess that I was just listing what I DID as opposed to what I CHECKED and forgot to list a few items at that. Your list is pretty consistent with what's in the owners manual.

This particular model is on a 7.5K maintenance interval. For the 7.5K, the schedule calls for:

-Oil change (Done too many times ;) )
-Reset SRL (Done...twice already)
-Check coolant level (Done, replaced, done)
-Check battery (Done)
-Check washer fluid (Can you stand it?)
-Check tires (oh yeah, I did rotate a few times already!)

For the 15K, the following is added:

-Check auto trans fluid level (Done, replaced, done)
-Check lighting (Done)
-Check wipers (oh yeah, I replaced these already too)
-Clean Antenna (Done that already)
-Replace cabin air filter (Will do)
-Brake fluid check (Done, replaced, and redone)
-Parking break (Checked)
-Brake pads (checked, and rechecked)


There is NO service for the serpentine belt list until 60K, although that seems rediculous to me too. I don't think I need any prayers though at 13K dude. Do you really think the dealer would bother with this? Not sure. I have far more obvious stuff that was ignored... Plugs that were obviously left in longer than the interval, trans fluid that was burnt, but ignored, etc. This is part of my skepticism on the dealer service. I just don't believe they do it.
