expiring CPO & extended maintenance

My CPO & extended maintenance expire in 2 weeks on my '06 MR. I'm about a thousand miles from inspection 1 so I'm planning on sending her in to the dealership the day before expiration as I will be within a couple hundred miles at that time and have the insp 1 done. This spring they replaced the rear brakes and did a brake fluid flush as well right after I took her out of storage.
Is there anything else I should be asking the dealership for on this final trip?

I know this seems obvious but make sure you book and appointment and not just "show up". That close to the wire... you just might "accidentally" miss the window.

Even my indy is booking 2-3 weeks out.

Cheers.

I had my power steering lines checked and replaced.
Check motor mounts/bolts
Check rear swaybar mounts
Obiv make sure they do the valve adjustment correctly (drop off the night before)

I will be calling this week for the appointment - this dealership actually comes and gets my car & leaves a loaner, even though they are over an hour away.

Thanks for the tips. When they did my last inspection they listed the various shim part numbers & quantity used right on the paperwork. Beyond that I'm not sure how I would verify they are doing the work correctly.

Did they changed the PS lines under CPO or did you have to pay for that? If so, how much?

They changed those lines for free - but I was under the original warranty. As you are dealing with extended CPO... there may be a charge, im not sure.

Also - check your "M Mobility Kit" in the back by the battery. the flat tire kit. If its expired, they should replace that too.

I've actually used mine so currently I only have the air pump. Why did you have your PS lines replaced?
