"replace drive belts (this is just the regular belts right? not the engine belts?)"

Which belts are you thinking?
The drive belts would be the ones on the front of the engine for the A/C, PS,Alternator, etc.

 

VQ has a timing chain anyways

 

True, thats why I was curious as to which belts he was thinking of.

 

This is why you DONT go to the dealer!

 

hmm, I spent $683 for my 60k and got a rental G37x for 2 days.

 

take that print out to a local mechanic, the price will be drastically different

 

First mistake was going to any Infiniti STEALERSHIP for service, what were you thinking? LOL It's a good idea to have all your fluids changed, those you haven't done recently. Brake fluid should be changed if you haven't done that recently. If you know a "reliable" independent automotive shop in your neighborhood they can change fluids, cost shouldn't be over $150. They can check your belts and only need replacing if they're cracked. Every thing else on the list if a rip if your G is running good! A couple years ago they used to include "Antenna Service" to their sheet....have you checked yours recently?

They did the same thing last time I took in my wifes armada for recall work, like $1400 for some inspecting and a few fluid changes. I said no thanks to the work but thanks for the list, I'll do it myself!

 

all a dealer does is look at their mileage recommendations are and say you need them. they don't actually look at the car. i work at a car shop and i know for a fact that most of the things that are recommended are off of mileage, not something you need. see if you serpentine belts are cracked, if not then don't worry. and then throttle body service and fuel injector cleaning should be included in the same price. at my shop we clean the throttle body with a spray and put in an injector cleaner via gas tank and a carbon clean via the vacuum system.

 

thanks guys for all ur info, i was not going to do all at the dealer.. and i dont know a 'good mechanic' that i can 'trust' but does anyone know what these are? and if i need the TB cleaned (i rather have the dealer do it cuz i heard of bad idles after cleaning)

 

the engine clean is degreasing the engine, fuel injection and throttle body service is just a cleaner package, and the engine treatment is a chemical that is ran through the motor for like 5 minutes to break down sludge which is what full synthetic oil does or it will help stop leaks which most high mileage oils do
