So, my car is sitting around 59,300 miles and I can't help but have Inspection II on my mind. That said, while completing the front brake kit install/bleeding with BCS_ZHP (which was an awesome time, and for which I give another big thank you!), he took a good look over the car and we both pretty much felt that it was in very good condition.
Bruce recommended a local shop where I should get the fluids changed at the very least. I called them and first asked for a quote on a full Inspection II: $550. Asked about replacing the spark plugs as well: +$220.
Now. After reading a lot of the Inspection DIY's posted here and elsewhere it seems a lot of it is very straightforward (e.g. replacing the filters) and the rest is just looking things over. I want to learn more of my car, I did not buy it just to drop it off and stand around lollygagging. That said.
My question is:
Pay more for the full professional overview/inspection II now VS. the bavauto youtube videos of what to look out for, tools to do my own work, less for the parts themselves, etc. and save the full overview for down the line when a second professional opinion on something I think is starting to wear down is necessary (75/90k).
Thoughts? Am I overthinking the mileage/timing of the inspection?
Bonus inquiry:
When I "roll" my driver's side window down, it clicks and moves a bit and is sometimes slow to come up, I'm assuming this is the regulator starting to go. How difficult is that replacement for a "first-timer" such as myself or is it worth having the shop do?
