is it true, that when you buy the car from the dealer, your free service maintence is ONLY from that dealer.. you cant go into another dealer or make an appointment from another dealer for the service?


thanks

 

Free service maintenance?

Do you mean warranty service?

 

maybe for german cars...

 

Since there is no official free service authorized by Infiniti for simply buying the car, I assume you're talking about from other manufacturers?

W/ German cars (M-B, BMW, Audi) that come w/ free maintenance, you can go to any dealer (they're all reimbursed by their respective corporations).

If you got a free maintenance offer for your G35 when you bought it, then it's only w/ that dealer, since Infiniti corporate will not reimburse dealers for doing it.

 

If you're talking about items covered under warranty (cd player breaks, squeky axle, brakes on a non-brembo before 36k), then they can be done at any infiniti dealer.

Someone on another thread is getting a new motor and carmax is doing it and an infiniti tech has to go make sure that a new motor is actually warranted, so I'm sure you can have other warranty covered items done at another place and then be reimbursed for it. However, this seems like a huge pain and who knows if infiniti would agree everytime that they did the right thing, etc. and would be willing to cover it.

I bought my car and they gave me 2 years of free maintenance. Such as free oil changes, checking tire pressure, battery, etc...

 

mine gave me free oil changes for the duration of the warranty of the vehicle as a added bonus when i bought the car.

Nate, read the thread you are referring to again. She took it to an Infiniti dealership. Infiniti(the corp) is sending out a tech to see if it a warranty issue and what needs to be repaired.

As far as free services outside the warranty that the dealership offer, these are up to the dealers themselves. If you have a maintenance contract of some sort thrne it will be up to the terms of that contract. The dealer I bought mine from gives free car washes for as long as I own my car. Too bad it's so far away from me. Especially considering they will wash the same car multiple times a week if so desired.
