So my 2007 g35x sedan is in for the 15k mile service and my service advisor said it would cost around $600, is he ripping me off or does it really cost that much. The car is at infiniti of kirkland in Washington, And also how much did you guys pay for the 15k mile service?

 

that doesn't seem right..

on the cerritos infiniti service site

the 15k service shows $259.95 :\

 

I believe that service advisor is a dumbazz. And yes, they're ripping you off and that's why we call them stealership.

 

can you give me the link where it say that the 15k service is for 259.95 thanks.

Go to service, then "View Service Menu" on the lower right... it says $259.95 for 15k service but the "**" says an extra charge for cars with two air filters... I guess the second air filter necessitates 340 bucks of work? haha

Those prices are from 09/07 for what it's worth

 

$600 dollars seems a little steep even for the Premium Maintenance. I'd want to know exactly what I'm getting for $600, perhaps an itemized list of work to be done. The majority of the stuff you can do yourself anyway, most is inspections of varies components.

My G35 came with the first 6 scheduled maintenance free. They did this so they could build a service relationship with me.

so the 15k mile service should cost me 259.95?

 

thanks

 

Mine cost me around $30.00 because I did it myself. It is easy to clean the filters, without damaging them and the inspections can be done fairly easily also if you know what you are looking for. I can't rotate the tires because I have the Sport, so the rest is fairly easy except getting to the cabin filter which shoudn't have any real affect on many warranty items. Everytime I change my oil(I also use synthetic) at about 4000 miles, I usually check everything anyway and top off all fluids as needed. I check my tires at least once a month, if not more often. I bought the Dent and ding protection and had the gut out last week and he repaired the only ding I had(from a shopping cart) on my left rear wheel well fender. He did a great job and the cost of the insurance has already paid for it's self.

 

under 30 for me. replaced oil/filter myself.

Already had lock/hinge lube, washer fluid, PS fluid, coolant,brake fluid, and Fujita intakes.

Might pick up some wipers, incabin micro filter, tranny/diff fluid, and bleed my brakes with new fluid when i hit 21000miles.

 

This is the same dealership that thinks 1K off of MSRP is a good deal. One reason I bought car out of CA and do my own maintenance.

 

Where did you get ding insurance? How much was it?

 

the oil and in cabin filter cost me about 60 total so thats about what i paid.. in cabin filter takes about 10 minutes to replace.

 

depending on where you live dealerships charge different prices

 

Yes, it really costs that much - same price in Tacoma. If you search on this, most people opt out of it or do it themselves. Purely "inspection"
