I'm at 72,500 miles in my 2011 Chevy Aveo ...

Bought it brand new in 2011 - I love my Aveo! I take it in regularly for oil changes. Last August, I had issues and $2500 later I had new front brakes, new control arm, and something else that was under warranty they replaced. All has been good. I have used a local Goodyear place since day #1 and trust them.

But I'm at 72500 miles right now. I asked Goodyear if my Aveo was due for any regular maintenance. They suggested a "tuneup", a radiator flush and something about my transmission.

I'm curious to know what's involved with a tune up?

Anything else I should be having done at this point?

I'd like to keep this car for as long as possible! I'm also retired, work 3 mornings a week so don't drive it too far any more. I usually go on an overnight road trip 2 or 3 times a year, maybe 150 to 200 miles each way. Still, not much!!

It's getting pretty close to needing the timing belt replaced. A tune up is probably fresh spark plugs and wires, transmission service is filter replacement and refill with fresh fluid.

Thank you! 480000 miles? Whoa. Even 200000 sounds like a miracle to me. I guess my measly 72500 is just drops in a bucket!!
