At 60k miles the car was due for one of the major maintenances that occur every 30k miles. You can get them all done at the same time for a package price and get quotes for the package in advance from various dealers and independant mechanics. Alternatively you can do most all of these maintanence item yourself if you are so inclined. Consult the maintenance section of the owners manuals for what-all has to be done. There are also many web sites that show the schedule in various formats if you search around a bit. -Fred W
