My dealer quoted me$975 for our G35's 30,000 mile servicing. Is this normal? Anyone know of any other place in seattle/bellevue area?

 

I'm in PA and was quoted $465 for the 30K service.

 

$975 thats nuts. I was quoted for $650 from Infiniti of Manhattan, which is still steep, so I'm still checking other dealers. But, I have to do this service by Sat. so time is of the essence.

 

Is that price for the "Premium" or Schedule 1/2 service? Either way, that is steep!

 

Read the manual so you know what they're offering you. The short version is Schedule 1 is for 90% freeway in temperate conditions, probably not for you because you live in WA. Schedule 2 is for everybody else that doesn't want premium maintenance. (By the way, for the 30k schedules 1 & 2 are identical.) Premium costs extra because they do more than required. Some people feel good spending money, or believe they'll keep their car 200,000 miles, and they pay $800 - $1000 for 30k service.

Surely, by now you have established a pattern with your service schedule - stick with it.
