Hey guys, really need your help/advice on this topic. I'm going out of town to look at a 2011 g37xs coupe this weekend. I'm getting a pre-purchase inspection done at a nissan dealership in the sellers home town. I do not have an Infiniti dealership anywhere in my area nor do I want to pay the 'stealership' prices for general maitenance. (fluid changes) so before I decide to buy this car I need to know if you guys think that the preventative maintenance on these cars (fluid changes and other minor maintenance) can be preformed by most any qualified mechanics? Now I would always ensure that the mechanic is using the appropriate engine, tranny, and differential fluids before even bringing it into the shop along with genuine Nissan/infiniti parts if need be. Is this something I should be weary about? btw, this mechanic works on all import vehicles BMW, Audi, Porsche, and even Bently from time to time. Do any of you guys bring your g37 to a regular mechanic? Thanks in advance

 

Any competent mechanic should be able to do most services on this car. Very few if any specialised tools are required other than relating to the ECU/BCM, i.e. its probably overkill to take it to someone who specialises in European imports. Your best bet is a private mechanic (i.e. non dealership who knows Nissan) and after that anyone who works on a lot of Japanese cars.

 

Cant thank you enough for that reply. I was worried that i was going to be told that i should always bring it in to the dealership. that would have broke my heart as I probably would not have purchased the car based on that alone. Thanks for your help Hashim.

 

NO prob, good luck!
