Oil change, rear diff fluid change, transmission flush and change, coolant change, lubrication of lock cylinders and hinges, inspection of belts tires, brakes, rotors and a few other things. I take you are gonna end up at the stealership?

how much does the 60,000 mile inspection cost at the stealership vs a regular mechanic. One other thing they don't change spark plugs at 60,000.
