Look what I got in the Mail from the Dealer today!

So the dealer wants $300 so they can change your oil and glance at the rest of your car while they do it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they actually tried to rotate your tires! Quite the challenge in a staggered setup...

If you look through the service manual, you'll quickly see why you can do all of those things yourself. If you find a cracked hose, loose fitting, etc, then you can take the car in and let them fix that one thing under warranty.

The service computer does indeed tell them to rotate the tires on the 370Z. Most service managers know better but sooner or later one of them is going to try. I guess at best they can switch them left and right given that the stock tires aren't directional but are symmetrical (and so can't be flipped on the rim).

I got one of those a month back. Except mine was for the 370Z's 20,000 kilometer annual service. These things are computer generated by the information you gave the dealership when you bought your car. What's really surprising is the fact that these letters are the results of that information, that you actually see. Just imagine the stuff you don't directly see...
