re: Brought my truck in today for oil/tire rotation & dealership called suggesting

That all seems outrageous price wise.
We charge 20 to adjust and clean rear drums. In fact that can even cause problems if not done right. So we are slowly phasing it out.

We dont and are not allowed to flush or touch trannys. Not because we cant or dont know what we are doing, because it causes so many problems. There is a way to do it safely but thats a whole other discussion.

GM rear ends are junk and 2 out of 10 have problems. The best course is to take the plug out and inspect the fluid. If it is nasty go ahead and change it. If not dont touch it.

Headlights are a bitch to change on those and that sounds about right.

Fuel service is crap. Never fall for that shite.

The air filter is way to high but if you have no tools it may be worth letting them change it. As that model is not a clip in design but rather bolted together with torx head screws.

Wipers are outrageous because they cost a lot nowadays and shops have to mark then up. Thats actually not to bad.

Coolant flush is kinda meh in my book. IF the system has never had the cap off then dont touch it. Just opening the system to air can put the coolant on the downturn.
Those with new cars should take make it known to who ever services their cars to never even take the cap off your coolant reservoirs or my brake reservoirs.

Brake fluid goes down as your brakes wear, this is normal. In fact it is a fairly easy way to tell if you need pads. But if you get an overzealous oil changer topping the fluid off with the crap fluid that has been sitting there with the cap off. It will cause nothing but problems.
