I need:
* Coolant flush
* Compression test
* Leak down test
* Fluid changes oil, tranny, diff.

The last one I do on my own.............any suggestions on whow much the others should cost? I am looking to just make sure my baby is ok and running well.

Anybody have the tools to do the compression & leak down test at a tech day?

No to the leak down test. I have a copression gauge. It may need the fitting for our plug threads though. Let me know if you want to do it at the car wash.

The leak down test is usually reserved for cars with a low compression problem. If the compression test is good, and you aren't having other problems, you probably don't need a leak down test. That said, if someone has the tool, I have the compressor.
