$400.00 please.....
Thank you, come again.
You gotta be friggin kidding me!!!!!!!!!!

Oil change? Will do in my driveway.
Service brakes? I'm assuming this does not include parts and labor costs to actually replace pads or rotors or flush the fluid out. Will do in my driveway, besides that's a pretty good time to upgrade from the crappy nissan pads and fluid.
Check the battery? That's what the voltmeter gauge is for on top of the dashboard.
Top fluids? Apart from engine oil and windshield washer fluid, which I top up on a weekly basis, no other fluid should need to be topped up in the absence of a leak or mechanical problem.
Check tire pressure? A $5 gauge from Canadian Tire does the job.

And you know what's even funnier? There are people who do go to the dealer and slap down $400
Those people shoud NOT be driving a Z but rather a camry hybrid
