how many miles do you have on your S? dealer usually costs too much for maintenance. you live in doylestown, i'm in montgomeryville which is just a town over. Depending on where in doylestown, i could be 10 mins or 30 mins away. If you need help, just pm me

The maintenance light comes on every 7.5K miles? Wow. But that makes me feel better about the light coming on before putting it away for the winter (first year having it).

Are there any inexpensive computer units to read the S2K? I've seen a few for other types of cars that can be purchased for ~ $30 but is specific to a car model.

The "Maintenance Required" light is a reminder to perform routine maintenance. It is based on mileage and not any sensors in the car. The "Check Engine Light" is for problems where you would need the scanner or mechanic.
