I am originally from the Boston Area, but I go to school in Hyde Park, NY. Does anyone know a good place within 20 miles to take my max for some routine work?
Thanks!

 

What do you need done?

 

My max recently hit 70,000 miles and I just wanted to get a sort of "tune-up/inspection" done. Some of this I could do myself and just don't have time, but some I am not experianced enough to do.
I am just looking for a place that does good quality work, is honest, and is cheaper than the dealer (which i might end up going to). Thanks for any help!

-replace engine oil and filter
-rotate tires
-inspect tire pressure, adjust if necessary
-replace brake pads and rotors ( I will buy ), paint calipers black
-replace spark plugs ( I will buy )
-inspect steering linkage ball joints and front suspension ball joints
-inspect front drive shaft boots
-inspect exhaust system
-inspect steering gear and linkage, axle and suspension parts
-replace automatic transmission fluid/transaxle oil
-replace air filter
-inspect vapor lines
-inspect fuel lines
-replace engine coolant
-inspect drive belts
-inspect timing chain

 

Let me guess you go to Culinary? LOL

I work in Newburgh, there is a decent amount of Max guys up here..if we could get a meet going it wouldn't be much to do some of that stuff.. But all in all for routine junk like that you may want to suck it up and go the dealer. I think Newburgh Nissan's service department is excellent as compared to Poughkeepsie Nissan.

 

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, i do go to Culinary. (I guess its the only college in Hyde Park) LOL!

If you know of any meetings, please let me know. I went to one in Massachusetts near my house and it was great, I met a lot of cool people with cars much better than mine. What I want the most is for an experienced Maxima owner, who knows more about cars than I do, to drive my car. There is a noise comming from the passenger side rear tire/wheel. It sounds like the tire is rubbing but i checked that and its not. I believe it might be that the rotor is warped, I'm not sure though. The front brakes are also very squeaky, which is strange, because they stop the car fine, they were replaced in June.
Once again thanks a lot for the reply, email me if you know of any meets coming up that are fairly close (less than 1- 1 1/2 hour drive) please let me know.
Thanks!
