Question about 90,000 mile service
OK so I just bought a 99 LS and it has 90324 miles on it and I don't think they got the 90000 mile service done, so I was wondering how much it usually costs to have someone else do it?
well, I would only pay for part of the 90k service. I would only get the timing belt and waterpump done. If you go to a dealer, they will try and perform the entire 90k service which ends up costing a lot more. You can do a lot of the other stuff yourself, or not at all.
i did the timing belt, pump, and tensioner myself...just bought the parts. i believe it was like $120ish shipped....and then a million hours of labor. HAHA jk heres my thread on me doing it. i live up in NY and the car had some rust so it sucked....plus its a 95. yours being newer it should be ok

we just finished mine a while ago... 8 hours no problem. heres a basic price breakdown
Parts:
Timing Belt - $90
Water Pump - $96
Tensioner - $70
Tensioner Spring - $5
Distributor Cap - $20
Distributor Rotor - $20
_______________________________-
Parts: $301 (this is assuming highest cost direct from dealer, not online)
now there is more you should change... but that's the big stuff... highly suggested you do plugs/wires at this time as well.
you can bring it to the dealer and they will charge you about $90/hr and they CAN do it in about 3 hours... but they will ACTUALLY finish in about 8... and your paying for it.
a reputable shop can and usually will do it in about 3-4 hours and depending on the shop will charge about $50/hr
so your looking at about $2-300 + parts for a good shop
and your looking at about $650-720 + parts for the dealer...so about $1000
