    I needed 30k service.

    ....14k ago. So yeah, I was late, but I hadn't been thrashing it too hard and I kept the oil changed til I could afford the expense.

    On a lark last week I went online looking for coupons from the dealerships in metro area and saw SOG with a 399.00 special. this wa about 80$ cheaper than any other time i could remember, so I figured I better get my service in soon.

    But like any of you guys, I like to save a buck, so I called around to see what the others offered. At one point I was quoted $520 and when asked about specials they said there were none. Another place quote $470, and only when I specifically asked for the special did they mention some $60 off coupon.

    called SOG and made my appointment for friday. Said it would be 3 hours. Bob was done in 2.5 (but I stayed to goof off a bit with SS, and ran into Married.)

    Good service and non-jerky techs.

    you know if the tread is too different, you have to get 4 new tires for AWD, right?

    well, just barely in that window is where i'm at...

    I should be getting the remaining 3 Kumho's very soon. Does it really make that much difference?. I have 11,000 miles on the RE 92's.

    ur differentials won't be too happy especially if u push the car with tires having uneven traction ... if u must wait a while before u buy all equivalent tires, i'd recommend u dont push the car much... so no autocross/mountain runs/etc.
