Just in case anyone in Hawaii is on this board, I thought i would share an experience I had at King Nissan, in Kaneohe, with my father's 2000 Maxima.

Long story short, My dad paid the Dealership $89.00 to run a diagnostic on a MIL. The service manager told my dad that all 6 coils needed replacing, then tried to charge my father $492.00 for 6 ignition coils. AND, told him that the intake needed to be removed to install the coils, at a price of $362.00 labor plus $35 for intake gaskets. Well, we bought the coils online, from Jerry Rome Nissan for $290 shipped, and installed the coils ourselves. Funny . . . the intake didn't need to come off.
I now begin my one man crusade against this dealer. The service manager would only hand-write down the costs on the TSB I brought in, he would'nt give me a 'written estimate' on their company form . . . hmmmm, sneaky. I tried a local tv news station, but they said unless we actually paid the dealer, or could get an 'official' written estimate, there isn't much I can do. But I can at least make some noise here. And come monday, I'm going back down to the dealer and cause a commotion!

BTW, I got the info on the coils from this forum, thanks for the replies to my earlier post regarding that.

 

Not in here please.

 

Thats where I bought my 6th gen. I didn't like my experience over there either but one of the reasons is that I am very unsatisfied with my car.
