I recently moved to a new town and just brought my 00 wagon in (to an unknown to me but saabnet-recommended shop) for a 50k svce. The new shop "checked everything out" (I interpret this as looking for problems - er, business) and recommends the following:
Intermediate exhaust pipe $350.90 (isn't really making noise yet)
Serpentine belt/pulleys/tensioner $557.85 (they said serp belt was cracked & recommended doing everything as a precaution)
Head gasket retorq w/new valve cover gasket/bushings/timing chain guide $288.18 (I already had the new bolts installed last year)
Tranny shifter shaft seal+new fluid $226.78
2 new sway bar links $239.65 (I just had this done 15 months ago!)
PCV oil box update (hoses, box, & new synchroshift fluid) $486
I've done my own brakes and rotors, so maybe I can do the front sway bar links? As for the transmission fluid, can't I just top it off? I haven't noticed a single leak - from anywhere, including the head gasket.
The headgasket does worry me since the new bolts don't seem to be helping. How long can I keep retightening them? Can I do the retightening it myself?
Thanks in advance for any input!
