I was quoted from a Suburu dealer that my 2003 Outlander needs a 30,000 tune up that would cost me almost $600.00! I have about 32,000 at the most on this vehicle. Does my car even need a tune up? If so, what would an estimate be to have this done and what would it consist of that's different than what I get when I take it in for a routine oil change maintenance.
