Service at 60K is very sound preventative maintenance. Had mine done late last year.
The tranny doesn't need to be serviced until 60K or so?

I was told that a tranny service around 40K miles is ideal.

Thoughts?

My tech charges me around the same to perform the service.

Skratch, you would be better of getting to know your tech's on a personal level and have them perfrom the service on the side. IMO that's the best way to go.
