Currently, my car is in the shop for a check up. The '97 GT has about 96,000 miles on it and my mechanic has taken a look and suggested the following:
Replace Timing belt (And some other components in this area) Replace Spark Plugs Replace Fuel Filter Replace Belts & Hoses (Look kinda worn) Replace PCV Valve Does this sound right? Is there anything he is missing or should not include? Just want to get some opinions before I lay out the cash. |
