I just brought my Leaf in for a 3-year checkup. The weasels at the dealership recommended that I have the coolant system flushed ($197). I'm glad that I did not do it. The Leaf maintenance manual says:
"The recommended service interval of the factory-fill coolant is 125,000 miles (200,000 km) or 15 years, whichever comes first."
At the first annual checkup I let them do the air filter. I later wised up and bought the filter on Amazon for $10 and replaced it myself. The dealership is now charging $137 to replace the air filter!
What maintenance do you all recommend be done at the dealership? Is a battery check required once a year to keep the battery warranty active?
I've been getting the brake fluid flushed ($184 this time) each year. I put on about 10k miles/year. Can this be done less frequently or should I be on the safe side and keep doing it every year?
Thanks for your input.
