anyone out there....

isnt there a Nissan Certified Mechanic out here? i called my local nissan and talked to one of the mechanics and he said he's never heard of the screw on the ECU. he said the only way to reset it was to bring it in, hook it up the their comp and pay $70. I nearly flipped out. he said that in his years of working with cars, the only cars that you could reset like that were some old chevy's. i was sh1ttin a huge brick. someone help me please...
