so infiniti charges $200 for this job? why so much? Im going to tell them it takes 30-45min for both belts. I will pay max $60 
Sometimes i wonder if they really change the parts and give you 100% new stuff. Oil changes, tranny flush who knows.

my service advisor said they should be changed every 30K miles. The cost is minimal ($30 or so bucks for both drive belt and AC belt) and the task is fairly simple. My Infiniti dealer asked for only $150 to change both belts with labor.

what is the most should i pay to get the alternator and ac belt changed? Infiniti just told me about $250, but they said they could prob take 15% off. I know that seems alot considering belts are only about $15 each. Do i need to get OEM infiniti belts or can i go anywhere like monroe? I got 55k miles now and they said they are cracking.
I have 89k on my 03 g35 and I have never replaced any belts. My AC belt might have be replaced when it started to blow out warm air but this was fixed under warranty so I would have to check the record.

labor: $96.50
Belt-compressor - 11920 - AG900 $24.98
Belt - Fan & Alternator - 11720 -4p102 $26.37
chemicals/cleaners $5 Whatever that was
total: $152.67
done at 49,500 mi---yes I could have got it done cheaper somewhere else or tried doing it myself but that was a fair price for somehthing that I won't need to do for another 6 years or longer.
btw, I'm submitting a $50 reabate thru loyalowner.com and the total cost should be $102

Q50 Red Sport 400 RWD
As for the loyalowner.com, infiniti mailed me a rebate, per the FAQ:
Q. If I can't use this Infiniti offer, can I pass it along to someone else?
A: No. This offer is sent to an exclusive list of Infiniti owners, and is non-transferable to another person; nor is it valid for another person's VIN.
