30k mi dealer-service scam?
Took my baby to nissan for the $350, 30k-mi service yesterday, along with the window-grease tsb fix. They gave me a loaner sentra, which i was thankful for.
Then today, they called me saying "the mechanic recommends an injector flush and induction service for better performance, for an add'l $330". At first, i bit cuz of the "performance" buzz word. Then i called a good my350z.com brother and z expert, who told me it was basically an unnecessary money-making method used by the dealers. I promptly called nissan and cancelled that extra service.
To my anonymous friend (you know who you are), you are a gentleman and a scholar. You saved me $330. I owe you bigtime, and i promise from now on to go to you first for all my aftermarket parts. Thanks again, bro.
