The 411 on CarZone Auto Repair...

Went in to get my 45K service done and these guys know their stuff. Dealer wanted $600... ended up paying $80 here.

They are all old Infiniti dealer service guys and did a thorough inspection and gave me some good tips to keep the G looking and running good.

All you Valley cats need to check this place out for any of your Nissan and Infiniti needs. Their prices are great and they are friendly and knowledgeable.

Thanks!

I went there for an oil change a few days ago. Quick, took me on the spot. No appointment or waiting and cheaper than Miller by $5. Actually to the point of totally not worth it for me to do on my own after $11 for filter, $6-8 for oil, and then the PITA of taking that plate and its 15 screws off.

Anyway, the mechanic was pleasant, quick, looked over things. I asked about a few other services and prices are a LOT less than Miller Infiniti and competative with other private garages. The mechanic was a master mechanic for Infiniti for 12 years. I'm pretty happy to have found them.

Whoa, they are 5min from me. Gotta check them out. That block is very ghetto, didn't know there's a quality shop there. So they are Infiniti/Nissan specialty?

Yes Nissan/Infiniti specialist. It is located in the same building as Flips Tires.

That block isn't that ghetto. North of it is a lot more ghetto.

I don't see how that would be possible at that price. Just the fluid is like $200+

Dude, where do you buy your fluid? Miller charges $16 for Matic S to walk up customers, shops even cheaper.

Regardless, all they do is drain and refill with about 4 quarts for tranny service.

$270 for all of that work from Nissan techs is the best deal you can get.

Isn't a full drain of the system like 14 quarts?
