I'm a mechanic, I own a Maxima, and I don't screw around w/ customer's cars.
Which shop messed with your car, you should report this to the BBB.

It's a good idea to keep friendly relations with your nearest Nissan dealer service and parts people. Also, know a good independant mechanic in case Nissan charges too much for the repair. And most important, do what you can do, it's always cheaper and most likely a better quality job than the above 2 repairs. Know your limits too!
