Just got off the phone with Infiniti of Chantilly in VA and they estimated the 30k service price at $850. Is it just me or is that just insanely ridiculously high?

 

It certainly seems incredibly high, but it depends on what they plan on doing. If they are going to do any break work or something of that nature, price is not so unreasonable for infiniti. I was upset when I paid $300+ for my 15k mile. Find out what they plan on doing and take out the stuff that you can do yourself or you dont think you need.

 

It is insanely high. Hey contact "Destro", he works @ Nissan in Fairfax and he will hook you up. Oh yeah are you a member of NGC?

 

Unfortunately I paid that much at Rosenthal Infiniti over a year ago.... aka Infiniti of Tysons when they were under old management. I dont know if it was worth it....probably not... but I did it anyways.

 

The moment the dealer touch your brake system = $$$$$

If they do did domething to your brake yes it can easely reach 800$

 

I paid about $450 for the 30K at Jim Coleman in Bethesda. It included a coolant drain-and-fill along with the basic oil change, air filter and inspections. Maybe a few other things, can't remember off the top of my head. For $850 I suspect you might also be getting a tranny fluid replacement and/or differential fluid change.

Go to the Infiniti site, under Ownership (I think). There are three levels of "service" at each service interval, from Basic to Super Big-Bucks premium. Decide which level you want and tell the dealer to price it. That way, you pay for what you want, from a list recognized by Infiniti (if that's important to you). You'll pay a labor rate of nearly $100/hour around here, so it won't be cheap. My two cents.

 

What do they do - check your blinker fluid and muffler bearings? *gigglez*

Haha he said gigglez. But why????

 

lol......do what you can do yourself and save the $$...

 

There are definitely a multitude of things that you can do yourself IF you have the time like all the fluid top offs, fuel and oil additives, air and oil filter replacements, etc... However, your time is the key. If you choose not to do it yourself and have Infiniti do it....you will pay them for their time. Products will cost you and them essentially the same (~$100)...the $200~$300 in labor is the major cost. I personally, view my time as more valuable and don't mind paying someone to do it. Besides, they also balance the tires and do all those "checks".... ) That is just my two cents though.

 

Hey Duffy...

Passport is pretty good.. They are located in Alexandria... Here is a link to the Maintenance Schedule on the website.

Like SLZ said.. there are three schedules ... let them know which you want... If you go into the dealer and say you need 30K maintenance they will give you the Premium Maintenance... which can run up to $800

you do realize 9/10 times when a stealership claims to have "checked" something, that usually means they didn't do anything sicne the car runs fine, lol.

 

Save some money and take it to a good Nissan dealership. I did that for my 15k service and they did more than what Infiniti would have done and did it for less $.

 

Holy $hite, you sure you didn't ask how much for a trade on a new G??????

 

850 bux for 30k maintenance? are you kiddin me??

that is INSANE!!!!!!!

does someone have a list of what's included in the infiniti 30k tune-up?
