Need advice on chevy dealer in Southern NH for service.

My camaro has about 75,000 miles on it now, and Im the 2nd owner of it. I wanted to bring it in to the chevy dealer and have them check it out. A co-worker recommended MacMulkin Chevy in Nashua, NH but Im not familar with them, as I've always been a ford guy, until I fell in love with the 5th gen Camaro.
Has anyone had any dealings with there service dept? Im no mechanic, and don't want to get ripped off, with a dealer saying i need like $500 in service when it may only need $100. I know from what I've read on these forums, I should get a intake cleaning. Any recommendations or advice on MacMulkin or another dealer or shop you have had good experiances with would be great. Or anything you know I should have checked or serviced with 75,000 miles on it. Thank You.

MacMulkin is a good dealership, I go there for my car and my work trucks.
I have never liked Quirk in Manchester, stick with MacMulkin for service work.

Ken Howe is the Service Consultant you will want to talk to. He is a member of East Coast Camaro Club and the owner of an awesome 4th Gen.

As for only needing $100 of work, if your no mechanic, how do you come up with that number?
I would guess just to look at and diagnose any issues with any car will cost more than $100...

Thank you for the recommendation, I will be calling them to setup an appt. The $100 was just a random number I came up with at 2:30a, Im sure with 75,000 on it, it would cost more. Based upon what my old Ford 500 needed at around the same milage.

definately go to Macmulkin. Quirk in Manchester is a joke when it comes to servicing camaro's it feels like your talking to sear's auto techs when you go there.
