Hello All,
Well, it's time for the 30K Mile service on my '93, and I'm trying to do a little homework before I bust out the credit card.
1) Can anyone give me even a ballpark estimate of what the 'normal' 30K service should cost? I've been given one estimate of approx. $7600, from a local (non-dealership) facility that specializes in Euro cars.
2) The mechanic who provided me with that estimate informed me that I might need an updated throwout bearing, at a cost of approx. $1600 for the part (on top of the aforementioned service). I haven't seen anything on the forum about this - Is this a common problem?
I live in the Tampa Bay area in sunny FL, and would welcome any advice on a good shop within 150 miles or so.
Thanks,
J.
