I just had my 15k service done at the dealership...and got a sheet showing what is performed at 30k.

what I noticed more than anything is that for an additional $645 over the cost of the 15k service, the dealership will:

flush tranny fluid
replace engine coolant/flush system
replace engine drive belts
replace differential oil
replace radiator cap
adjust headlights if necc.
assorted inspections.

Seems like an awful lot of $ for this amount of work!!!

This brings me to the question: Is there a shop in the Orlando area that folks here have used as an alternative to the dealership? And if so, how satisfactory was the experience?

I would assume this service not done at the dealership would NOT void the warranty!

Let's not even about the 60k service which adds a spark plug change and replace upper/lower rad hoses for an additional $400!

Somebody shoot me!

 

you can get your work done at any shop as long as you have records of it. they cannot void your warranty for that. as long as it shows you have had the services done

 

The dealership will have their "recommended" service and then what Infiniti calls for, which is substantially less. Aome of the service is easy to do on your own to save money, such as changing the in-cabin air filter.
