Hey guys, I have a 2012 Cruze LTZ (gas) with 112k miles. I really haven't taken it in to the dealer very often. It has some recall work done that fixed one issue I had, and then I had a small leak that was cheap to fix right after my 100k warranty was up. Other than that nothing is done except oil changes and some air filter changes. I'm about to get new tires, detailing, and I'm going to get it up to date on all maintenance. The service manual suggests:

Inspect evaporate control system
Replace timing belt
Drain, flush, and refill engine cooling system
Change auto transmission fluid, filter if equipped (is it equipped?)
Replace spark plugs and wires

and I'm going to need to have my alignment checked out also as my 4th tire is a different age than the other 3 and it might be off slightly.
I've driven it in harsh conditions, snow, mud, dusty dirt roads, etc. so any other things you would recommend would be great.

My main question is... which of these should be done at the dealership, and which at an independent shop?
I want this thing to run smoothly for 5 more years 100k more miles so I'm thinking I save money by doing the basic stuff at a small shop and take it to the dealer for the big stuff and they would spot any mistakes made by the smaller shop.

Any ideas? What is this going to cost me?

Thanks!

Robby, do you think I should replace any part of my brakes while doing the fluid change? 112k miles nothing done previously to them. They make a small squeaky noise every once in a while.

Are there any belts that are known problems that I SHOULD replace while doing all of this work? I'll probably hit 125-130k miles by end of the year

Thanks, what kind of cost for the serpentine belt job? I'm at the dealer on the 10th for tires and I will ask then but would be good to have something to compare against.
I changed the passenger glove box filter myself in the past, time to find another one online.
