Infiniti emailed me that the G was due for 30k service so I set an appointment, needed an oil change (free) anyway. Turns out the 500 club membership covers the 30k service and man is it a laundry list of items including rear end fluid change, trans fluid change, oil & filter, air filter, cabin filter etc..etc... plus wiper blades and full inspection. My brakes were were making some noise and had a shake at highway speeds and they did a full brake service for free as well. Rotors, pads, backing plates and brake fluid change for free!!!!!!! I asked the service manager what it runs if I were paying and he said a little north of a grand depending on if there is a promo just for the 30k service. Happy F'n New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow....

 

nice job... enjoy it

 

what is the 500 club

 

yeah idk either lol

kenny put me in that ****.

 

lol what is it?

 

apparently its some sort of maintenance program some dealership offer. mine doesn't, or at least i don't know about it. can you only enroll at the time of purchase or can you enroll later on? i would definitely be interested in enrolling if possible

 

I don't know the details but there's no free lunch. Highly likely to be a ripoff if you're the type thats inclined to do your own maintenance.

 

After taking mine in for the 15k service I will never have the dealer perform maintenence work again. Freakin like 20 bucks to pour a 4 dollar bottle of injector cleaner into the gas tank. I told them not to do the wipers or air filter since I have aftermarket already. I wouldn't be suprized if it was something like 50 bucks to install a set of wiper blades. What a joke.

 

How much is the 500 club to join?

 

The 500 club was/is a program the dealership offered when we were negotiating. Sort of a closing incentive. I don't know what the enrollment cost is but it was a nice addition to free oil changes for life. Infiniti's way of offering something close to BMW's free maintenance plan. The only weak maintenance items on the G are brakes and tires, which it goes through both quickly. Soft pads and soft tires.

 

^ You get free tires? What if you took it to a track every few months and burned through multiple sets of tires every year?

 

No free tires. Free brakes and rotors under the 2 yrs free maintenance I have. Free tires would be nice.......

 

Haha that makes sense. I was about to say free tires.... SIGN ME UP!

 

I guess I bought my '08 G37s coupe a little too early....they were selling at the time (Oct. '07) and were going for near full sticker. I had no offers of, nor heard anything at all about any 2-yr. maintenance plans, or 500 club. I'll know better next time. I'm 'paying what it costs' I guess every time I go to dealership. I'm at around 26k miles right now and I've got the squeaky brakes developing. Also seems a little weak starting, and I'm wondering if I've got a battery thing to be concerned about. Guess I'll find out in next couple of days when it dips down in to the teens overnight here in NC.

 

they didn't have it back then and now there are service maintainence plans that work out well
