they only thing you need is an oil change, they just charge you up the *** for it. You won't need a tire rotation even though they charge for it. If you think you do need one then do it yourself and save the money. Stupid stealerships.

they're cheaper but just as worthless. They'll come back to you and tell you that you need 10000 other things done as well, when you really don't for a brand new car lol.

i know tires dont need to be rotated due to staggered setup but having them balanced every 15k does that make sense or just bs

They just torque down the old one...I use to repair or replace a lot of oil pans that had their cars from Jiffy lube or those fast oil change place. Most of the guys they hire are not certified mechanics. Only the smog technician there is a certified mechanic.

I hear ya. My place lets me go down stairs to check out my girl.
My other cars get the tires rotated for $20- beans and I get the tranny/
radiator flush for $45. Gotta love it

Gotta find the right one

Holy shiz where the heck you buying the in-cabin from? Mynismo.com which is performance nissan sells online for $30.

$175 for 7.5k service is a joke. Can't believe your dealer charges $50 for an oil change. That's still pretty high especially if you're in socal. Go to Nissan...I get mines for $25. For 15k, I got a basic oil change and replaced the filters my own for $70 total.
