Does anyone have a list of what exactly the dealership does for a 60k mile service?

 

I just talked with the Service guys two weeks ago on my 2000, and its a glorified oil change. All they do is check fluids and do visual inspection of some things. If you call your dealership they will tell you what it involes...

 

nothing... that you cannot do......... with less money

 

What do they do? Make some money off of ya.

 

here's what they do:

1. bend you over
2. stick it in

 

got it, so i go to the dealership and bend over, thanks

i'm not goin to them for the service, i'm goin to do it all myself, just wanna know what all it is that they do.

 

Owners manual has some details...

 

If i remember right, all they do is check fluid levels... Tranny, Power Steering, Brakes... Also they inspect the brakes and the axle boots for beaks and leaks. Thats it... i think. Correct me if i am wrong. i would just check your bakes for waer and the axle boots. At 60k you should have no problems with those.

 

thanks, i was gonna replace all those fluids anyways, i guess i'm doing more then needed but oh well.

 

Irish summed it up perfect... they don't even buy you a drink first!

oil and filter
air filter
fuel filter
rotate and balance
lube all hinges and latches
treat weatherstripping
cabin filter

optional:
trans flush
coolant flush
injector svc.
also should include a complete inspection

 

yes all that.. and after $600 and a dance.. you will feel like WHY??? but at the end... you will and the dealership at another victim

 

Fuel filter is not included because the Nissan gods put it in the tank as a non maintnance part.What filter do you know of that does not need to be replaced? What a pain in the azz to change took me near 6 hours to complete.

 

i was just speaking of a general 30/60K...

took me about 30 minutes to change mine... didnt fix the problem

 

Ya well then your a magician or a ASE/Master mech "Looked at your profile". Now that I have done it & have learned from my mistakes maybe I could do it in a hour & a half start to finish. I guess thats why you do what you do.

 

yea, not only that but i have air tools and a workbench. that helps quite a bit.

 

On maximas I dont think it is worth it to pay that much for a 60k and I work at a dealer. some cars u just dont need to take to the dealer for it--for my dealer its like 500-600 bucks and it only takes me 0.8 tenths of an hour to do one and i get paid 4 hours for it,so the tech always gets blamed for ripping the customer off when we have no control over price(on a manual tranny less--no machine to hook up for the tranny flush). u can do it all yourself except maybe the tranny flush--but just get one of the coupons and take it in for just the tranny flush. usually the only thing that a maxima is going to need is brakes and belts, and if the brake and power steering fluids are dirty would do a flush.
