I'm looking at a car that has 14K miles.

The first service is so close I was wondering how much it runs on a GT3 and should I factor that into the purchase price?


Thanks.

Cost about 600 for me

Olav A.

Did you do it yourself?

Laura

About $225, but I would also advise to add a brake flush, strongly suggested every 2 years at a minimum. (More if a track car)

Olav A.

Really, that's it?

What's involved in the 15K check up?

Oil, pollen filters, ???

Thanks.

Laura

$563 for me. I'm moving to Lake Forest to save money on service.

"About $225, but I would also advise to add a brake flush, strongly suggested every 2 years at a minimum. (More if a track car)"

That's really inexpensive. I had a 2-yr service done (including a change in brake fluid) at my dealer. They charged me $743. I even provided my owm Mobil one

Do I still need a brake flush if my '04 GT3 only has 2,000 miles? Yeap, mine is a garage queen so it's only driven few times a month

laura, hergenshiemer needs to have a shop up in northern ca.
i will make sure you get enough customers to be worthwhile.

For street use, you need to replace the brake fluid every 2 yrs, regardless of milage. You may wish to review your maintenance book. It is on page 9

mooty

yes replace brk fluid every two years even if you dont drive it. the oil will suck up moisture in air and reduce boiling point. it probably doesnt really matter, but it's cheap insurance so why not.

Thanks! I have to bring mine in for the 2nd oil change next week anyways so i will have them flush it as well. How much do you guys normally pay for a brake flush? I took mine to Pacific last year for it's first oil change and it was $230 and this time the estimate is $265, i hope it doesn't go up $35 every year
