Get the list and quote from them as a reference and then buy the parts/fluid and do it yourself...

Not sure what all they are going to check out as far as accident damage/repair goes but you can always see.

Here is what I did last summer, had about 55K miles, probably spent about 275 on everything (quick estimate, done over a 2-3 month time period)
spark plugs, NGK55s
spark plug wires, MSD
fuel filter, AC Delco
motor oil, CG 0w-30
oil filter, AC Delco PF-61, taller filter
PCV Valve, AC Delco
Coolant flush
differential oil, Royal Purple 70w-90
transmission filter/fluid (done at 40K miles)
clean MAF sensor and TB
air filter, AC Delco
AIR check valves
Seafoam through the gas tank, kinda scare to put it in the engine

yeah, don't be scared of #8, got mine from the top, just move the coil packs out of the way, get a 1" extension (A MUST!!!!!!!!!!) and you'll be money.

going in from the bottom is much easier on number 8. Just my personal experience.

either way. If you poll 100 people on this forum 50 will say top and 50 will say bottom, either way you'll be able to do it with a little patience. Try one way, if you can do it, do it the other way.
