i hope u at least got a happy ending or a hooker for that $1500 :ugh2:

Why are we all over the place on this one? (from $70 to $1,500). I'm doing mine next weekend.

My List:

Nissan 999MP-L25500P coolant - $28.20/gal. x 3 gals. = $84.60
Bando 6PK2020 Serpentine belt - $22.95
Red Line 75W90 Gear oil (Diff.) - $15.49/qt. x 2 qts. = $30.98
Red Line MT085 MT oil - $15.95/qt. x 4 qts. = $31.90
ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid - $18.00

Total cost = $188.43

I have K&N panels, so those are just cleaned and replaced. Cabin filter is like new.

What am I missing????

Labor

my dealer wants $432

Oil and filter (ok)
top off fluids (LOL)
rotate tires (LOL)
Balance tires (Already balanced)
Lubricate prop shaft (for 4x4)
Transmission fluid exchange (on the auto Z?)
Check alignment (aligned)
Decarb/Throttlebody service
Fuel system treatment (a bottle of techron?
service battery (nothing wrong with battery)
Inspect air filter (K&n filters)
inspect air cabin filter (already replaced)
lubricate locks and hinges ( LOL)
Inspect 30 other things

:bowrofl:
I love "Lube chassis" some fück tried to up sell me on that plus a tire rotation for $60 vs $27 for an oil change

Agreed. I'm trying to figure out how someone is paying $70, and another $1,500. My prices are for parts/materials/fluids alone. This will take a couple of hours to do (myself). Even If I paid for labor, how the hell do you get to $1,500 (or anywhere beyond $400/$500, for that matter)???:confused:

It's either BS or homeboy is the most gullible individual on the planet. The worst part is that he "gladly paid it to keep my crap right". Wow. That's a salesman's dream right there.

Hahahahahahahaha

Depends on what each dealer decides is included in their 30k service. We use top shelf products and do a bit more than the book requires (Trans and Diffy fluids are replaced on 30k intervals) and still only charge in the neighborhood of $300ish and we are in the NY/NJ area where labor and rent is probably the highest in the country.

I go to the dealer for EVERYHTING. That way if there is an issue they can't blame it on Jiffy Lube or something.

I wonder if anyone has ever fallen prey to the "Need to change the fluid in your headlights" trick? Seems some dealers would try it. I generally go to the dealer during the warranty period and then to a garage that specializes in Nissan/Japanese cars afterwards. Everyone may not be as fortunate, we have a top notch aftermarket shop here.

We've been doing maintenance on the Japanese cars since 2001, mostly Subarus, and probably have had a dozen or so that needed warranty work, our documentation has been accepted in each and every circumstance where it was needed to get a replacement motor or other warranty work. There should be no issues if you go to a reputable aftermarket shop as long as they document it all for you.

The blinker fluid alone is worth 1k...1500 is reasonable:rofl2:

Hey if my dealer tells me 1 yr free maintenance, should i go for oil changes and what not? Im afraid since its "free" theyll use crap.

I would ask before you have them change the oil. The dealer I bought my car from had something similar but it only covers budget conventional oil and filter so I've done my own oil changes.
