Maintenance...
SO i have never really don maintenance on my 01 since I got it with 29,000 miles on it. *edit* I do oil changes every 3,000 miles */edit* It has 45000 on it now. I am not sure what kind of maintenance has been performed on it before i got it. It was a rental car, do they usually perform good maintenance on their cars? But nayways at the dealer they charge like 370 for this:
* Oil and Filter Service
* Lubricate Chassis
* Replace Automatic Transmission Fluid
* Rotate Tires & Electrically Balance all 4
* Replace Spark Plugs
* Clean & Adjust Front & Rear Brakes
* Inspect Accessory Drive Belt & Adjust tension if required
* Check and Set Tire Pressure
* Replace Engine Air Filter
* Check All Lighting
* Perform Cooling System Flush
* Top Off All Fluid Levels
* Inspect Ignition Wires
* Lubricate All Hinges And Door Latches
* Inspect Front & Rear Axle Joints
* Inspect Engine Idle Speed
* Inspect Air Conditioner Refrigerant & Compressor
* Inspect Chassis/Body nuts & Bolts for integrity
* Inspect Fuel Line Hoses for leaks or cracks
* Inspect Steering Operation & Linkage
* Inspect Driveshaft Dust Boots
* Wash Car:Weather Permitting
thats for 30,000 mile maintenance
then they have 15000 mile maintenance which includes:
* Change Engine Oil & Filter.
* Electronic Wheel Balance & Rotate Tires.
* Clean & Adjust Front & Rear Brakes, Inspect Condition of Pads,Shoes, Rotors, Drums, Calipers & wheel Cylinders..
* Inspect Engine Air Filter.
* Inspect Belt Condition And adjust as needed.
* Inspect and top off all fluid levels.
* Inspect Brake Hoses for leaks or cracks.
* Inspect and adjust tire pressure.
* Lubricate front suspension, steering linkage, door and trunk hinges.
* Wash Vehicle-Weather Permitting
* Inspect Air Conditioner Refrigerant & Compressor
* Inspect Chassis/Body Nuts and bolts for integrity
for like 130
What do you think needs to be done? I just want the thing checked up pretty much. Should I go to another shop, will they do the same thing for a ton cheaper?

You might want to talk to BlackBIRDVQ who is also from Chicago. I believe he does maintenance for people here on the org and he's a Nissan Mastertech.
I plan on getting my 60k maintenance done through him if he has time.
