I had a lot of deferred service done on my '99 Prowler, 24K miles that I recently bought in Feb, 2019. I took the car to a private shop that was highly recommended by a top hot rod shop. R&R timing belt and water pump, R&R transmission filter, changed ALL fluids (brake, coolant, trans, p/str), checked rear differential, replaced upper and lower radiator hoses, serpentine and accessory belts, spark plugs, air filter, oil and filter change, general safety check and road test drive. I brought them the big '97-'99 service/diagnostic manual for reference, a gear puller, timing tools, etc...they smiled, thanked me and politely told me they were familiar with Dodge/Chrysler service and products and didn't think they'd need my tools. The car was returned, wiped spotless, including tire dressing and running very nicely...total charges for parts and labor $1519. I thought that was quite reasonable. I'm now waiting on getting the front lower ball joints replaced. Car drives and looks nice. I noticed that a few people have asked about these services, so I hope this posting may help other newbies. Thanks also to all the POA veterans who offered many helpful tips and suggestions.

For all that work it sounds like a good deal and peace of mind.

While you are having your new ball joints installed put a set of ceramic brake pads on the front, it will greatly reduce brake dust on the front wheels. My wife is the keeper of our Prowler and swears by them.

Ceramic brake pads sounds like a good idea. Thanks!

I had most of the service items done that you listed from a recommended shop as well and think you received good value for so many services. Sadly, mine was not washed, nor were the tires dressed... I might have to call them and give them some heck haha, Glad they did such good, lots of peace of mind getting all of that done
