Has anyone changed their own pads yet? Im only at 30k and have no problems at all with them, but I know its coming. Why Im posting this in the 6th gen forum is because when I was at the dealer yesterday I was quoted $160 for the fronts and $150 for the rear pads! I asked why so high and she told me because there is something on the fronts that need to be installed in addition to just the pads...I wish I could remember what she said it needed..something that would need to be replaced, and if it isnt the pads wont' wear right...am I being fed a crock of $hit? How long do you guys think I should wait to replace the coolant and tranny fluid for this car? They want something like $80 for coolant and $120 for tranny. Their 30k service reccomendation only changes coolent, but 'checks' everything else and charges $150...
Anyone know if our pads have wear indicators which emit a high pitched screetch when they need replacement?

 

its not bad if you do it yourself.. they charge way too much... I think is bout 150 for all tha pads then if you do it yourself you will save so much money..


and yea, they would make a screech'ing sound when low..

 

ill wait for the screetch, thats what its there for...and new plugs at 30k? puh-leeeeze

 

plugs at 30k!!?? I thought it was at 105k.......

 

Damn right it is....West Herr nissan in Buffalo Ny prints up its own lil service interval booklet and handed it to me bc I have 30k...So I did some research...yep, plugs, tranny, coolent, balance and all...and they also made sure to highlight and circle the most extensive and comprehensive list they have available...well im glad Nissan posts this stuff...when i go for my skyview im gonna bust their ***** about this.
