Out of town for work and won’t be back in time to take it to my preferred shop for my 100k service. Just looking for general cost ideas based on someone else doing the work. Also if anyone knows any good shops/dealerships in the Maine / New Hampshire area I would appreciate it. Anything else I should be on the lookout for at this mileage that isn’t standard?

I'd consider transmission service but that's kind of a matter of opinion, I think owner's manual says "lifetime fill", yeahhhhh...

Also have all recalls/reworks been done? Fuse 27 and whatever powertrain it was a year or two ago? I have down front & rear diff oils, transfer case oil, and transmission filter/fluid every 50k (shock rebuild if not sooner), spark plugs, belt, coolant and brake fluid every 100k (check wires, hoses).

I spent $5000cdn at my 100k service, so that's about $500 US I had all fluids but the tranny done, spark plugs, brakes, mirror signals replaced, leaky a/c hose, new battery, new KO2 tires, etc, whatever it needed.

I’m currently in the process of my 100k service.

- paid $970 to have the shocks rebuilt and reinstalled same day
-paid $190 for new NGK 6509 spark plugs, denso wires, and denso boots from rockauto.com (instal to be done for $390 at a shop in my neighborhood)
-changed transfer case fluid myself for about $22 (took 1.7q of Mercon LV and bought a small transfer pump)
- paid $154 for front and rear diff fluid change at Valvoline

I will probably change the coolant later.

Yes all recalls done. Im mainly looking at fluids, spark plug, belt or idler pulley, tire rotation one last time before she gets new shoes. I also want them to check out the front left hub as I kinda feel like I am getting some feedback there. Not sure if its tires or if the hub/bearings are starting to wear a little. Slotted brakes recently installed, springs and shocks are good to go. Out of curiosity what wear items have some of you high mileage guys run into on the front ends. Tie rods, U joints, control arms? Anything I need to check while she is up in the air. Like I said Im away from home with only a basic tool set so my options are limited.

Check CV boots and make sure IWEs are working properly (Do while driving too - lots of grinding noises reported here) while she’s up and you’re in that area.

Forgot about the serpentine belt, had that done too! I didn't have to do much to my front end, I have close to 150k on it now and she's tight. If they are doing one hub, have them replace both of them completely, piece of mind!

Transmission fluid and filter change interval is 150,000 under normal driving conditions. Most vehicles fall under severe conditions, so changing the fluid at 100k certainly wouldn’t be a bad idea.

My '13 had just a little over 150k when I got it, hard miles, lower balljoints were shot, tie rods had a lot of play, sway bar links were ok though. Definitely worth checking lower balljoints, upper balljoints (replace entire UCA if worn out), inner & outer tie rods, and sway bar links. Also great time to upgrade if they need replacement!!!
