I was recently quoted a price of 250 for a 7,500 mile service plus tax of course. But as I hung up the phone I completely forgot to ask what is done during the service. I had the oil changed last week and the transmission fluid done like 3 months ago. What Is done during this servicing? Is that a good price?

 

Different shops do different services at x-y-z intervals. I don't think I've ever heard of one that follows the factory described services to the letter, especially on older cars.

You'll have to call 'em back.

Print out several copies to have when you need them.

Spark plugs every 7500 miles? That could be twice a year if you drove the national average. Does any one do this?

I had planned on every 20,000 miles.

 

I think most of us go 30k on plugs.

There are several items on the list I differ from.

I repack wheel bearings and replace fuel filter at 30k (not 60k)
I do not check parking brake shoes every 7500 miles
I replace air filters and drive belts as needed, not according to miles
