    great! lol
    I didnt think they would do that much.
    hmmm, well iv paid around $80 for spark plugs, radiator fluid+cleaner and oil.
    These things are easy to do, but the others arent exactly too easy for me without seeing some instructions.

    Does anyone know of prices/products to get to complete this service as the guy above said? because i really want to do everything myself and save some money (plus learn how to fully service a car)


    Cheers!

    If you plan on doing these things yourself I strongly recommend you buy a Gregory's service and repair manual for around $40 and you will have all the instructions you need. You will recoup the $40 in about an hour of work.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
