Maintenance Costs

How much do you guys & gals pay for 15,000 mile tuneups? I'm talking about valve adjustments, new valve cover gaskets, new belts, plugs, distributer cap, rotor, oil change, oil filter, new brake fluid, inspection and topping off of gear oil, replacement of light bulbs, etc. I find that it costs me anywhere between $1500 and $1800 depending on anything special and it usually takes two or three days at the shop. Some comparisons would be helpful and great to hear.

Good morning Denny- I just got a quote Tuesday from Ralph's for $375 just to adjust the valves (I will do everything else). I may end up doing the entire service myself, if not I'll let you know how he is.

Thanks Steve....I need the work done but can't afford to much during these times...
