    My sonata is almost at the 30k maintenance. What can I expect to be shelling
    out?

    The only thing that you should be paying for (provided that you want
    the dealershipt to do anything) is an oil and transmission change.
    These you could do yourself as well but at the most, that is what the
    dealer should do. You can change the air filter yourself. I'm not sure
    about the 03s if you have to drain the coolant or not as most recent
    cars can you can keep the coolant in as long as the time you will need
    to change the timing belt. Don't get suckered into one of those
    package deals as all it is in fluff to get a larger profit for work
    not done.

    I just had this issue come up, one dealership said i was going to ahev to
    pay 370 ish for their 30 k package deal, then i went to another
    dealership
    and I only had to pay $140, but they only did the oil change, air filter
    and coolent, They did not do a spark plug change (it required in the
    manual) but they said i have 60k spark plugs, and that they looked at
    them
    and they did not need to be changed. Is a transmission fluid change
    required? Becasue they did not do that either

    An ATF change is required on the severe usage chart. I'd do it on my car
    at 30k just on principle.

    Also forgot to mention spark plugs, as they only cost a few dollars
    it's a good idea to change them. If not I wouldn't go past 50k with
    them unless they are platinum. I believe most platinum plugs can go
    about 100k before they need to be changed.
