60k service shop recommendation?

Hello guys

new on g35driver, and i'll include 3 pics as a small introduction, hope to meet up with u guys soon~

my car is passed 60k miles, i've recently done a full synthetic oil change and changed the battery (btw, i was out of the country for a good 1.5 years, so it was sitting the whole time until i changed the oil and replaced the battery and started driving it again, drives GREAT)

so where do you recommended getting my service done? from what i've searched on the site i see that i need my fluids flushed and filled, all the belts replaced, both filters, and transmission serviced (heard that makes a huge difference for my 6MT)

please help me out, i'm in the 909, but anywhere in OC/LA, heck even SD is fine with me, help me out!!

Kevin

Do you want to go to the dealers. You can always go to OC INFINITI. Or you can go to R&J where they will do it cheaper. But awesome work.

you can just change all the fluids yourself, and get anywhere else to change your belts for you.. save you hundreds...i think the dealership charged me like 110 to change belts last time cause i got lazy..

I did my fluids and belts (except coolant). It was not bad. I hear good things about corner 3.

would you take your car to any mechanic or an Infiniti Master Tech with 15 years of experience working on Infiniti's and Nissan's?

go to Carzone and you won't regret it

You don't need your belts changed yet...they will last over 100k but that's when I suggest changing them. Change all the fluids (power steering, coolant, differential, transmission) and the filters. All of these things are pretty simple and can be changed at home but will run you probably around $300 at a shop.

$390 for a 60k without tax at Corner 3 Garage so about $420

$320 out the door for a 60k at Carzone

How about a independent Nissan/Infiniti shop, highly trained Nissan mechanics that do very nice work and don't charge you even close to what the Stealership does? Call and ask what they charge for a 60K mile service....Gary

i see...thanks guys, it's either carzone or corner 3 then....i've spoken with corner 3, and read their reviews, they're legit for sure. certified nissan mechanics.

i might choose to go to lake forest just because it's closer to irvine and i can actually make a day out of it, instead of van nuys, which just means traffic and lock car doors for me lol

at least not the stealership !

thanks guys, i really appreciate it

kevin

Yes they accommodate all types of lowered cars. The front driveway does suck but angling it in is simple. Great guys at CZ.
