30k mile dealer service

Nothing, why do it? I have 78k on mine and NEVER had the dealer service my 2015

You can look here and see the recommended maintenance at 30,000 miles, is there anything here you cannot do yourself? We haven't taken our 2015 SlingShot in for any dealer maintenance either, but I would guess if the dealer were to do hands on everything on this list, it would be over $500. If they actually had to perform any maintenance other than inspect, I would add a minimum of $150 per procedure for labor. I would hope that I would be high with my assessment, but I would rather be surprised rather than shocked with the final invoice. Oh, I guess I did inquire recently about replacing the brake fluid and then accomplish a secondary brake bleed and was quoted $180.

I changed my own transmission fluid at 50000. Pretty simple job just like changing the engine oil. As far as the brake fluid goes I took a suggestion by a mechanic on this site about a year ago. He just sucks the fluid out of the reservoir making sure not to induce air and then just refills the reservoir. Kind of makes sense because most of the fluid is in the reservoir and if you changed it there why go through the pain of brake bleeding. I have almost 78k on my 2015 and never had any brake issues including still running with the original pads.

Please pardon my saying so, but the primary purpose of replacing the brake fluid is to remove any water that is in the system, (brake fluid is hygroscopic), and the only sure way of getting all of the water out is by flushing the system. Water in the brake system is corrosive, one basically utilizes the same procedure as bleeding the brakes, which is not all that time consuming nor complicated.

yes I realize that about the water in the system but I'm 72 and never had any issues with my brake fluid in any of my vehicles so I guess I'm living on the edge

but....the brake lines are rusting on the inside....the moisture is from condensation between the hot and cold...the calipers heat up and cool down....

Yessiree, I can agree with you, but I figure that if I am going to take the time to do this lil job, and since the SlingShot makes it so easy, I just might as well take the extra 15-20 minutes or so to do it right.

not if the lines are stainless steel - - and frankly even if they are not I would think that external rust from splashing water and even washing would be more likely

In 2017, I paid 342.00 for 30K service in Auburn, Washington.
All but 10K has been done by a dealer somewhere across the country.

What does that have to do with 30k service...?!?!

That is better than I would have expected, would you possibly still have the invoice and be able to post it here? I am not doubting you, I am just curious about what work was actually done?

It's interesting that they didn't replace the brake fluid or clutch fluid as specified in the manual.
