Passed with no dings, but they did offer some service recommendations

Transmission drain & fill: $229.91
Coolant flush: $129.95
Spark plugs: $253.55
Alignment, rotate & balance tires: $129.95

I might throw them a bone for a coolant flush, but that's not too difficult...just a little messy.

Currently doing three "drain & fill" transmission procedures every 30K miles (which is overkill). I've done two of the three for the 90K interval, so I'll keep on my own schedule.

Have a set of iridium plugs that I probably paid ~$15 each, so that's $60. I'll swap those when I do the valve adjustment @100K miles some time next spring/summer.

The alignment is good, and I can rotate my tires for "no charge."
