60,000 Mile Service - 8/30/2007 12:17:10 PM    sleukem   Posts: 8 Score: 0 Joined: 8/30/2007 Status: offline I own a 2006 GS Eclipse(1st Mitsubishi) with the 5 sp manual.  I bought it new in late 2005 when they were first released.  Has anyone had their 60,000 mile service yet??  Mine will be coming up before too long.  The Dealership told me that they flushed all fluids and changed the timing belt.  The total cost was going to be $900-$1,000!! Does the timing belt need to be changed????  I was reading an article about today's timing belts lasting til 100,000 miles.  I have owned 3 other cars in my lifetime that have gone well over 100,000 miles and never changed a timing belt. Just wondering what you people think. Post #: 1

Oil change Coolant flush trans service t-belt rotate/balance tires Air filter complete check of everything. All that plus the labor cost would add right up to aroun $900 _____________________________ Neah... (in reply to sleukem) Post #: 2

I have to agree with you Sebba.  I am no mechanical moron as I've worked on a lot of Ford and GM products.  The cars I worked on were not near as new as my Eclipse.  I'm just going to let the dealership do the work.  This way if something goes wrong, the dealership has to make things right, instead of me forking out money to correct any mistakes I might make.
