Car maintance tip

Aug 02, 2004 5 Replies

For my boyfirneds birthday I am getting his 97 Alt. a tune up. He has about



60k on it. What else should i have the mechanic do? I am not taking it to a nissan dealer (i feel i can get the same qulaity work done at lowe labor price) and i dont know what the suggested maintence is, and i know my boyfriend has not kept up with it (he is a poor college student) I know i want the transmission fluid changed (or is 60k to early for this),new spark plugs, oil change, and his belts looked at or replaced (they are getting kinda loud) and also a air filer, will a tune up take care of all of this? or will i have to tell them specifially what i want done? thanks

Have them look at the brakes and axle shaft boots too.

here's what i'd do: lube, oil, filter flush and fill tranny flush and fill cooling system check belts and hoses - replace if needed tune-up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor) all oem air filter (k&n) change fuel filter clean fuel injectors (not fuel additive) rotate and balance tires check wear - car may need alignment as well (or even new tires) check cv boots check battery brake system check

that's my $.02
