Hi I've got a 2013 jimny with 25k on the clock and I'm pretty mechanically minded I've done clutches, timing belts cv's etc before.
I'm contemplating servicing it myself, is this a wise idea. I mean they are a reliable car and very simple mechanically and with the $600 I save a year that's a pretty good tool box set.

From what I looked in the warranty they don't cover suspension as I take it off-road or clutches and there's a clause that says it the head goes it's a secondary failure due to a hose then they will only replace the hose.

The Suzuki guys don't do diff oil changes regularly unless I pay $100 more per service so I'm wondering if I should just do it myself. Comments please and where can I buy or download the best service manual.
Thanks dan

I have a 2013 jimny that I bought new, it has never been to a dealer or mechanics. I didn't even bother with the free 1000km service. I just change the oil/filter every 5000km or 6 months and change all oils, brake fluid etc every 20000. No issues at all. About 40000km on the clock

As Steve says on here, even if you do everything right, but take your car off-road chances are they won't honour the warranty upfront and getting anything done will be pulling teeth out. Parts are cheap enough for the jim. If you keep it a couple years and are unlucky enough to have something major go I reckon you will still end up on top financially.
