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 can do all that crap for less money.... you can do the tranny fluid for less, follow the link on my Sig, the rest is easy to do... you can do it ad save money in the process...
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.
