Why not just do it yourself and save yourself the bones? 60k isnt all that much stuff. Just a lot of inspections. Most of the stuff that needs to be changed is pie. The most difficult thing would probably be the diff.

What needs to be done for the 60k service?

Seriously, scheduled maintenance is the biggest rip-off. 75% or more of the items on the list are "inspect." So they LOOK AT a bunch of stuff. You could look at it too and not pay for it.

Hell, I'll come over and look at your car for cash.

Not a rip for VW's. When they say do it at this time or miles you better do it.

Spend the money on a manual once and you can do it right forever.
