I hope I won't get kicked at a G37 forum since I own an '08 G35x! My 7,500 mile service is rapidly approaching, and I called our local Minneapolis dealer for the service which quoted me $110. Given that the service manual only recommends oil change + tire rotation (for AWD), it sounded quite high. I also called one of our local Nissan dealers, and got quoted somewhere around $45 for the same service(s).

I did my first (free) 3,750 mile service at Infiniti, so not sure if going to Nissan is good or bad. Your thoughts?

 

Yes, you can get it done at a Nissan dealer and it is excactly the same thing. Think about it: since all they are doing is changing oil and moving tires from one location to another, why would you need an Infiniti dealership? If you are a DIY guy like most of is are, why would you go to a dealership at all when you can do a synthetic oil change (if you prefer synthetic) and rotation for less than that in your driveway?

 

For warranty concerns, how do I prove that I did a tire rotation?

 

How can they prove you didn't rotate them?

The warranty on tires only cover manufacturing defects and it's prorated down to 2/32". It's not much of a warranty as tires are a wear item and normal tread wear is not covered. It only states that they must be maintained properly. It does not even specifically state that rotation is required to maintain the warranty, although you will get more wear out of your tires that way and should rotate them when possible. Coupe tires can't be rotated back to front because they're staggered.

 

Good point

 

Thanks all for your feedback -- I am heading to our local Nissan dealer tomorrow.

 

i was quoted in that range also for 7500 maintenance. Oil change and tire rotation. If I use ester oil this gonna push cost up more about $11 per quart. I think I might return to cheaper oil instead of ester. Damnnnnn
