My '01 Sentra has hit 60,000 miles and I am bringing it in for
scheduled maintenance.  The dealer rattled off the long list of things
they will do, and said it usually runs about $600.

Should I trust them to do the appropriate maintenance items, or should
I just give them the things listed in the owner's manual for 60,000 and
tell them to do just those?  I assume the owner's manual has fewer
items?

Does $600 sound reasonable?  I know it is a major service point, but
that is a lot of money.

if you go to a dealer for ANYTHING
you can rest assured you will be
f.cked !!!!!!!!!!!
if it's under warranty , you don't
have any choice but don't expect
much will be done !

$600 sounds just a tad high, but I would encourage you to do it.  You will
likely only do about 1/2 the things that need done if you attempt it
yourself.

Just do what it says in the owner's manual (which isn't much).  It certainly
should not cost $600.  There is no magic here, just fluid changes and checks
of various thing to see if they are falling off yet.  60,000 miles is not
the major overhaul point that it might have been in the past.
