Need help w/30k service in Chicago area!

[Hank]

Hi everyone in the greater Chicago area! I just moved here from SoCal a few days ago and my 4R is at 30k miles. I need to have the 30k service done soon, but I don't know what prices I should be paying. Back in SoCal, I was quoted about $320-$360 (includes all service except in-cabin air filter replacement). I decide to wait til I got here since it was gonna be a 2000 mile trip & I had 28k miles at the time. I've called several local Toy dealers and their prices ranged from a low of $395 to a high of $670. I would really appreciate any feedback or input as to how much you guys/gals paid for the 30k service and which dealer. Also, I would like to know how your experience with them was, either positive or negative. Thx n adv!!!

BTW: Are there any self-service car washes in the greater Chicago area? I'm staying in a condo now and I'm just used to washing my own vehicle. Thx!

Welcome !!!
I hope you will like it here....It's a great city...If you like good food and music, don't miss Taste of Chicago !!! It'll start tomorrow.:
As for your question, I can't help you much. Mine 4R has only 14K and to be honest so far I haven't serviced it at any dealer. I might do that when I get to 15K but I'm not sure about it. Maybe you should try to call some more dealers and check their prices. As for self-service car washes it depends where you are looking for it. I live on a northwest side of Chicago and there is few of them around here. If you are interested, let me know and I'll give you more details.

I just paid $369 outside of Boston. Included Oil and Filter, cabin filter, coolant change, tire rotation, front diff. fluid change, and all of the inspections.

They also found the oil pressure sensor connector had been shattered by a rock. Fortunately it's being covered by the warranty.
