My drivers side window no longer works, so I'm stuck between getting the cheap rebuilt motor from pepboys/autozone or getting the Nissan motor from a dealership.

I'm worried that if I get the rebuilt motor, it will just break again in a few months and I'll be stuck dishing out $$$$ again. My friend says if I buy a Nissan motor from the dealership that performs the labor, and it breaks, I can just go back and they will fix it for pretty much nothing. I'll save about $200 if I buy the motor myself.

What do you guys think I should do?

 

I say screw a dealership

 

window mother?

 

buy the mother. it will come in handy.

 

rebuilt ones carry a lifetime warranty. and they are a rebuilt unit from an OE core.

if you know how to take apart the door in 5 minutes, it's all good. my first rebuilt one from autozone (cardone brand) failed in 2 weeks. got another one under warranty (buy another one and get credited when you return the original) and it failed after 2 months. at this point, i took apart the motor myself and cleaned it up and now it's been working good.

expensive new nissan unit or cheaper rebuilt unit.....either way, you lose.

 

The warranty for Nissan parts is 12 months or 12,000 miles. Of course it will break at 12,001 miles.
