Service/Warrenty

So i m about to bring the G in to get a quick look over by a new dealership that i ve never been to... cause i brought my car out to school...

as you know its slightly modded and this is for my 30k service

sorry i m a complete noob when it comes to this but is there anything i should really know? or watch out for so that the stealership doesnt try to pull a fast one on me?

thanks!

Depending on where you take it they will always try to upsell you..

The line will be
1) Your belts need to be changed.
2) Your brakes will need to be replaced.
3) You may need a fuel system flush.
4) You will need a new cabin filter $120 charge at the dealer.
5) You will need to flush the tranny fluid.
6) You will need to flush the Differential fluid.
7) You need an oil change.
8) You need new air filters.. (I forgot if you have an intake.)

Stuff like this..

I would check the listing on what they do for $30k and see what you want them to do..

I only had them do the Trans/Diff fluid flush and then they did my belts.. It was like $300 bucks OTD... I did my own oil/cabin filter ect...

Have fun at the stealership...

Look in your owner's manual for what the manufacturer REQUIRES and decide from their stipulations, NOT the dealers; too much obvious conflict of interest there.

^this

For the record, I have never taken any of my cars in for 30k/60k etc dealer services. I just checked all the fluids, belts, hoses, myself and all of my cars have lasted well over 100,000 miles without issues. This includes a Nissan, Acura, Hondas, and a BMW.

Just do an oil change and change all your filters. If you're **** like me you can do trans fluid, diff fluid, coolant, brake fluid change. A full flush won't be necessary. Just a drain and fill will do at 30k. Do a flush at 60k.

Also if you wanna save some $$$, you can get your 30k done at any Nissan dealership too.

I take mine to Mike Ward in Denver and my service guy is really cool about mods. Let me know if you ever decide to go down there for service and I'll give you his name.
