Nissan 370Z Forum  

Any thoughts on this estimate to repair my vehicle?

Then take it somewhere else. A$100 tow will save you $1000 or more.

Just looked online, that's all retail but the clutch. OE clutch is $750 retail, $613 discount.

They're just charging what nissan says. That being said aftermarket is WAY better and cheaper. You don't want this POS plastic part going back in just to fail do you?

Who cares? We have already established that shop is just ripping you off. If you use them, you're an idiot.

No question here. Take the car to another shop asap.

Ummm... not sure where you got your retail prices, but $160+ for the CMC and CSC is AT LEAST 20% markup over the dealer prices. And like 50% markup over the lowest prices on the web ($105-110 for either one). All of those parts are ridiculously overpriced. They also probably have incompetent low wage employees to keep that profit margin maximized. Fvck shops like that

Umm... you established that the clutch was overpriced. I didn't argue that point.

But your post below makes it sound like you think the rest of those are reasonable prices. The prices listed in the OP are absolutely not retail or what Nissan says to charge. That's the point I was arguing.

FWIW, I did look up the price of all of the parts I referred to in my post. And on Nissan's actual site parts.nissanusa.com
