I guess I bought BMS' $20 plug socket, too.
I didn't bother asking the dealer how much a service runs, but one of the local tuners noted that there's one at 60k mi and another at 65k.
(I've already done tranny fluid, and had the coolant flush recently when my reservoir popped. Brakes coming soon.)

How do you feel about grease under your nails?
Thanks for the info! I'm mechanically inept, plus I lack the garage space/ tools :-) -- which is why I'm considering the maintenance program. But given that I have less than 25k miles currently, I'm not sure I will drive enough mileage to make the maintenance program worth it. Appreciate your pricing info though!
