Anyone ever heard of getting the brakes changed out under the warranty. I was talking to a friend that works at NTB and he said that he knows a guy that had a 350 that got the brakes (rotors and pads) changed out under the warranty? It didn't make any sense to me but i figured i would check.

Please flame me a little bit too b/c i feel like this is a really stupid question.

I've bought aftermarket pads (not for Z) that come with lifetime warranty. All they do is replace the $20 pads with another set. You still have to pay installation, etc.

There is no factory warranty on expendables like brake pads, tires, wiper blades, etc.

I've heard that the standard warranty on a new car for the brakes is 12 months. I'd doubt that any place would warranty anything beyond that.

Yeah, i had to swing by Nissan today to get a new stud and i asked the service adviser and he said nope...no way. Unless you car is fairly new and your rotors are cracked or something abnormal.

Anywho, i just paid 3.14 for a freakin stud, what a rip...i didn't know the guy and i needed it so i didn't say anything.

I paid a couple bucks for a replacement stud for a Honda Accord at AutoZone recently, so that's not un-expected.

^^^^well that makes me feel a bit better, i was just guessing in my ignorance that it would be about 2 bucks tops being that it was from the dealership.

With new car sales and shop labor just breaking even...........used cars and parts carry the whole load for a delearship. Parts are markuped 100% over cost like most retail establishments.
Most top manufacturers have a so called 12 month adjustment period where things beyond warranty may be considered for reimbursement
