> throttle body service $193.00 Skip it. Although these engines do like to get a bunch of crud in their intake manifolds and throttle body I'd say it is way too early for it to be a problem at 41k miles. I'd put it off unless there is some start-up issues and/or your gas pedal feels a bit sticky.
> tune-up with platinum plugs $149.95 Skip it. The term "tune-up" is pretty vague. In the past, it included a new distributor cap, rotor, ignition wires, spark plugs, and carburetor adjustment and probably a few other things I can't think of. These engines have none of the above parts except spark plugs and they'll last easily 100,000 miles unless the engine has been running poorly for long periods of time. > power flush injectors $232.00 Interesting. I wonder what they really do to them. Again, unless there are some drivability issues, start-up issues, and/or poor fuel economy, there is no reason to do it. I'd skip it. Keep oil in it, and take note of coolant loss and if that's all good, these things will run forever. 99% of the time it is negligence that kills them. > > I was not expecting the above recommendations since I am not > experiencing any noticable problems with the performance of the car. > Therefore I declined the recommendations. > > My car is a 2000 Intrepid with a 2.7 engine and only 41,877 miles. > Every other fill-up I add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner to the > gas tank.
