What does this consist of,how much does it usually cost at your local nissan dealer,and do you have to have one...I have 75,000 on my max-I guess it time; huh....

 

500.00

 

Do a search, and this topic has been throughly covered a number of times in the past. The conclusion of it was, you can do most of the things yourself and save yourself the 500-600. I think there was 1 thing that they recommended you have the dealer do since it was more of a 'home mechanic' type of thing, but I don't remeber what it was.

New fuel filter, spark plugs, things along those lines that you can do yourself.

i bought my max no more than a month ago with 62xxx miles on it. the owner was really good about servicing the car at the dealership, but how can i check if it has had it's 60k mile tune-up? are there any obvius change in equipment or anything?

 

My friend had bought a 95 max with 59,000 on it and when he took it to get it's 60,000 tune-up...Who ever traded in;had done;done it...It was in the nissan service computer..

 

All scheduled maintenance procedures are listed in your Owner's Manual.

The Nissan owner’s manual has valuable model-specific details on the day-to-day use and care of your car, as well as recommended maintenance intervals. If you’ve lost or misplaced your manual, just call 1-800-247-5321 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. eastern time, Monday through Friday. There is no charge for 1999, 1998 or 1997 manuals, however, there is a $12.00 charge for owners manuals prior to the 1997 models.

 

Everything that has been done to your car by the nissan dealer will (should) be in their database. So take it to your local nissan dealer and ask them to print up a history report on all the service which has been done to your car.

Although if there are no records of anything on your car, that doesn't mean the oil wasn't changed or tires werent rotated, or even the tune-ups weren't done. The previous owner could have done them, or they could have taken it to another a local shop to have the maintance done.

the car was originally from san antonio and i bought it from the seller in houston. her husband has an office in san antonio and she said all work was done there(used the maxima to commute there and back). so would my local nissan dealership have the same information and records? or do i have to call the one in san antonio?

 

Check your local dealership with the ven.#..If that works drop us a note,it might help someone else in the future...

 

i'll call first thing tuesday and post back.

 

i don't think there a database for all nissan work done. it goes by each dealership
