Hows it going Folks,

Im just looking to see what everyone is paying for their 7500k service around the Bay. I got a quote from a Peninsula dealer for 208+ tax, which seems crazy for the first 7500k miles.

Any input would be appreciated...

Doesnt it just an oil and filter change?

 

I'll check my 7500 mile invoice when I get home...

 

I did one at 7500 mile service..it cost me roughly about 180..but thats back in 02...hehehe

all they charge is mainly labor...too me its not worth it..your car really doesn't need it until 50k anyways..

 

I thought I had the 7.5k invoice scanned but I don't. All I can telll you is find out exactly what they do from the dealer and then have them only do the things you cannot do yourself. They usually do a bunch of "fluff" stuff that jacks up the price. Example: add a bottle of fuel aditive.

 

7500 service??? Oil and filter change only by factory specs if I remember right. Then next "real"service is at 15,000...add in-cabin filter swap. I'm not sure why/what everyone is paying for these "services".

 

I just got my car back from Frontier Infiniti for an oil change ($50) and to check out some noises. My car has 6050 miles on it and they asked if I wanted to do the 7500 service ($169). The guy told me they rotate the tires (Ha! not for my car), change oil & filter, and other garbage. it's a lot of inspections. I told him No and he documented in my paperwork that they offered and I said no. WTF?

The 05 loaner sedan was sweet. The auto tranny throttle blip on downshifts made the car really smooth. It's really easy to do donuts in that car too!

 

Documenting is an old scare tactic trick. They do the same thing in many sales situations. I remember when I used to work for the Good Guys! stores in sales......one of the managers made us write on any ticket where a customer did not want an extended warranty, "customer refused.....". It's just another way to ask you are you sure we can't take some more of your money.
