I want to keep my Z in the most prestine condition mechanically.
Is 30,000 miles service from stealership worth it? It seems all they do is change all the fluids(engine, tranny, coolant and etc) change all filters, pressure check, lubricate all door hinges and locks.. and just INSPECTING everything else (meaning, not fixing them if anything with them)
and it seems quite pricey for what it is.. $484 + tax ?
Is it worth it? or would you save much more by taking it to a close shop? or just buy all parts and have someone do it?

Changing your own fluid isn't too bad, go look at the DIY. I just did my tranny/diff fluid change, I haven't done the coolant nor belts yet. They look perfectly fine right now, filter cost me 12$ for a oem filter replacement I believe, and greasing your own hinges is easy.

DIY... If i remember the dealer wanted about 300+ for 30k service. Replacing belts (if needed), oil, brakes(if needed), etc. Pretty much visual inspection for the most part. I did it myself and saved and bought my self an extra mod with the money.

is there somewhere online to see what service needs to be done and when? Got my Z used so I don't have any of the manuals that it came with. Won't be taking it to the dealership, DIY and trusted shops only. Mine has 23k on it right now. Anything I should check? I just got it about a month ago. TIA.
