Vik54 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 What sort of service was done with what fluids? What rotors have gone on and what pads? If its a P3 and you've upgraded the rotors and pads and got new lines and all fluids and air filter then yeah good deal.....but if it was a P1 with OEM rotors and pads and no fluids etc then nope Its all pretty subjective really As long as you're happy with the work done that's what counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 U could have had performance friction discs for 600ish decent pads for 175 and service for 100ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
police350z Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 P1 52,000, Oil change, all plugs, air filter, god knows what pads!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubapics Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 P1 52,000, Oil change, all plugs, air filter, god knows what pads!!! How much! I asked three local dealers for a P1 5 year service. On the last call I said you're having a laugh. All that for an oil change (they weren't going to do the plugs!). You could hear a pin drop as the guy on the other end tried to think of something to justify it quickly. Just as he started to mumble I hung up. I did my own service. I'm not being held to ransom for a service stamp. I keep all receipts and a record of what work I have done and when. Did you get a quote first? Oh, they wanted an extra £200 just to change the plugs! Sod that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Unless you got some very nice rotors and pads then you got stung It happens, has happened to me more than once you either know about something or you don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben p Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 When I had a scored front disc the main dealer quoted me £650 for just the discs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dblock Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 You got it doneThe car drives well Just be happy mate. Next time shop about a bit and check on here and save some bucks in the mean time enjoy +1 Your just gonna feel sick if you dwell on it. You might have needed them now so you might not have had time to shop around. Just look for stuff earlier on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Same, My Zed went for a P3 service at the local Nissan stealers and they noticed a slightly scored rear disc. They quoted me £650 for rear discs and pads, I told them to ram it and went down the road to a local garage where i was quoted £320 for full dics and pads. The cost of the service is fairly reasonable at my local stealers but when it comes to ordering parts its extortionate! BEWARE in future and shop around!

un1eash Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Does seem on the expensive side. One good thing i found with the 350Z is parts dont have to be expensive unlike my old BMW Z4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 without knowing what pads and discs have been put on. Assuming you've been to a Nissan garage, They probably charges you book price. IF so you got of got a lot better disc and pads for less money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimm Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 You should of got a quote first and then shopped around if you have time of cause but as others have said it's done now so just go out and drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
