seemed reasonable for a full scale checked which included brake service, battery service, oil change, new wipers along with checking out the trans, etc and pretty much everything.

Everything checked out good but does that price seem about right compared to what you guys get charged for the same service?

Thanks
Metal

it cost me about 80 to get an oil change done with my own filter

honestly i think its a good deal

^^^ What??? $80 for an oil change?!?!?!? What type of oil???

Getting back to the OP, they're shafting you...
Let's rattle off that list:
Brake service? What the hell does that mean? Your pads and rotors are FINE, if they're flushing brake fluid, that's a different story (I paid $75 for a GTR fluid flush)
Battery service?!?!?!

Tell the dealer to

That's gotta be the BS of the century, the only thing they will do is hook it up to a machine and try to sell you a new battery... MAYBE they'll put water in it... MAYBE...
Checking out the trans... Again:

Tell the dealer to

You have an auto... You can't check ANYTHING, there is no dipstick, NOTHING, it's sealed...

Oil change, depends on oil... Wipers... $25 for both?

You have a 2009, so no in cabin air filter too, make sure they don't stick it to you on that

And they MIGHT suggest a differential flush, that's a 50/50, (you don't have the SP, so not worth it really) should cost $60-80 at the dealershit

PLEASE give me the number of this dealershit so I can call and cuss them out...

And if you have ANY questions, don't hesitate to call or text me: (310)eight nine three-4207

EDIT: I just saw the OP already did this...
Brother, the forum is here for questions like that, next time ask us FIRST, lol

While the car didn't come with a filter inserted. The filter compartment is there and you can add a filter. I don't know why Nissan just didn't put the filter in there "Year one." That's strange.

yep, asking after the fact does seem a bit ridiculous but I had made the appointment weeks prior so just went ahead with it.

5 quarts of ester based oil which cost about $40 and $40 for labor.... doesnt seem unreasonable, i could have put just regular mobile 1 oil in my car but i decided to spend the extra money on the ester oil

Ok, Ester Oil is good stuff, $80 is ok, because the oil costs the stealershit $9/qt

There is someone on the islands who will sell you 2 quarts for a beer, lol
I WAS going to buy them, but it wasn't worth it

Change your sig to say "custom DEpointfive0 manifold"
What the hell is the M370, lol

LiquidCrewZ · 01-20-2013, 02:41 AM

Wow, I guess I'll have to watch what they want to charge me for services at the stealership. That's umm a little excessive. But, at least it's done and you don't have to worry about it.

TexasChuck · 01-24-2013, 04:23 PM

According to Mobil One's web site, Mobile One does contain ester. I use it. Now getting a quality filter ??????????? that takes some looking.
cheers

I totally agree..the dealer check includes things like checking seat belts..an auto mechanic that I have a great deal of trust in told me he could do the same thing for half price...

I think dealers trade on fear..fear that unless you are using them some horrible thing might go wrong..
My son has an audi A4 and something went wrong...the dealer wanted $1200 ..he fixed it himself for under $400..and it took him only about an hour,.,..figured a trained audi mechanic could do the work in half that time..so exactly how much do they get per hour??

A bit high. When I bought my Z the dealer gave me 5 dollar oil changes for the life of the warranty. I made sure to ask if the oil was Nissan recommended for the Z. He said it was.

not really, it would have cost me about $40(a bit more because redline ester oil was about $8.50/quart) for 5quarts of redline engine oil, $10 for the filter, $10 for the oil catcher, and gas both ways so i can dispose of the used oil and purchase supplies

when reviewing the parts nissan used(which was only oil) it cost them $40 for oil, $10 for my filter i ordered online, and $40 for labor and it was convient because i work close to the dealer so i dropped off my car there before going to work, and picked up my car at lunch vs changing it myself i would have had to take time out of my day to change the oil

but you got a good deal
