Sorry, I still think there's a mistake. I can see them doing an "inspection" of all the fluids, but they'd lose their shirt if they were actually doing all those fluid repacements for that cost. Post the name of which dealerships you called and I may just give them a shout myself to see if they give me the same info they gave you.

 

I been reading my service manual and taking my car to Firestone getting each thing done day by day actually coming out cheaper.. I got them doing a radiator flush and fill with a tranny flush and fill for under 200

 

There could be. I was shocked too. All I know is all 3 dealers had the same price for everything listed in the premium 60k service listed in the manual. I checked into the prices before I even bought the car and let them know that I was negotiating prices based on their quotes. If they were wrong, I will push for the price they offered until I get what was promised.

In the case that they are wrong, I would rather not have you call and get them thinking twice before I arrive. Try seeing what your area dealers quote and let us know. The prices may be different and my price will not be useful to anyone in a less competitive area.

When I have my 60k done (about 1500 miles before I bring her in) I will provide a receipt here if your dealers are quoting higher.

 

I did check local dealers here in the SF bay area, and they all had fairly similar pricing, but as far as the fluids went, they were primarily just "inspections" as I noted earlier. Service departments will sometimes play around with some clever wording to make it sound like tey are doing more than they really are; ften they throw the term "servicing" in to sound like something is being done, when in fact it's nothing more than checking the fluid level or something similarly simple. I wish you the best of luck getting those services for that pricing though, regardless.

 

The manual states "replace" next to each of the fluids I listed. If they are not following the factory procedure I would be sure to have a few words with corporate. Great advice on use of the word "service". That could prove to be valuable.

 

Personally, I've had better luck working with the dealer on "specific" services and staying away from the blanket services for say 30, 60, 90k miles.

Essentially, look at the owners manual and determine what needs to be done at specific intervals, then have them quote those services. As a result, they will almost always thrown in a 'multi-point' inspection because they make money when they find things wrong. It would be silly for them not to include this service with other work being done.

I also look online at dealer websites within 100 miles of where I live and try to find "service specials". I can almost always save at least 15% finding a coupon in say Orange County and asking a service department in San Diego to match.

Here's a complete laundry (based on Kearny Mesa Infiniti, which is by far my favorite in SD) list of everything I can think of you may need and this is no where near what some people are quoting:

$99 differential service
$128 Exchange Brake Fluid
Transmission drain and refill $129
Brake Fluid Exchange $149.95
Induction service $108, includes cleaning of intake tracks and throttle body
Air filter replacement $38
Coolant Service $80
Oil Change $40
Power Steering drain and refill $80

The dealer themselves told me to change the cabin filter myself as their price for that work is too high. I also do not have the dealer work on the brakes because the factory pads and rotors are much too pricey and I can find quality Centric (they build pads/rotors for many of the higher end aftermarket suppliers) Pads/Rotors online for a fraction of the cost.

Note that I have also lived in the Bay (Pleasanton Infiniti) and Dallas (Crest Infiniti) and both dealers in those cities were actually slightly cheaper overall as compared to the dealer I used in San Diego (we seem to pay more for everything here).

Hope this helps.
