Time for my 30K service. Called the local dealers aroung the Tysons area and the cheapest quote I got was from Rosenthal Nissan $438 (includes a 15% discount). Called non dealer shops and the I got quoted $200 by American Lube out of Falls Church. This is surprising as both Merchant Tire and Tires Plus wanted around $480. Is the quote from American Lube BS? What have some of you paid for this service in Nothern VA?

 

What is done in a 30k service? It will be easier to see what to pay when I know that.

 

Do everything yourself for like $50... then put the other 400 into something for your car..

you mean page 27??? not 26

 

Double checked. It shows as page 26 for me.

 

I need to get this 30K maintenance too, just don't know where to go.

 

30k maint. is a major tune up. every 30k is a good time to get all the **** taken care of:

-top off fluids
-replace brake fluid
-replace trans fluid
-oil and filter change
-replace air filter
-rotate and re-balance/check tire pressure on 4 tires
-inspect all suspension components and joints
-inspect boots and bushings
-change diff fluid
-check brakes
-check brake lines

and i highly suggest not getting **** done at a merchant tire.....

if anything make the drive up here and ill hook u up.. the service takes a day if u drop off the car in the morn i can have it done by the afternoon...

were open mon-fri and sat 8-1pm.

our price for 30k service $340.00.

 

I only take my car to American Lube... Take it there and watch them work on your car...ask questions... tell them that GZILLA/Corey sent you and that price may even drop...

quality guys...that looove cars! Ask for Julio he is the owner..or Jonathan his son. Family owned and ran...FTW!

 

Yeah, the only thing I can't do on that list myself is rotate and rebalance the tires. And inspecting the boots/bushings and suspension components, not sure what I would be looking for, but a simple search can clear that up Everything else is DIY. But it might almost be worth it to just buy the brake, trans and diff fluid and take it to 'Merican Lube in Falls Church.

 

i will be there today getting an O2 SES light reset, then headed to get an inspection....lol

 

Thanks for the advice everyone! I'll probably take it to American Lube as they are within walking distance of my house. I'll keep you posted on how much the total was.

 

man I am like 5 mins from there... I am at the end of Seminary buy Best Buy/ Circuit City but the other side of Columbia Pike..

what color is your car?

I drive a white G

 

I had mine done at the dealer since I didnt trust anyone else. Plus I needed other things done in addition to my 30k servie.

 

Daytona Blue. I'm at work in Mclean though.

 

seems like that close, I should see you from time to time....then again i dont drive down route 7 during peak hours.

 

Got the service done for $230. It consisted of the following:

Auto transmission flush $94.99
ATF Converter $4.99
Rear Differential Service $34.99
Synth Gear Oil GL5 Charge $19.99
Fuel Injection Service $69.99

 

What did they do to the fuel injection system at 30K miles?

sigh...

The motorcycle dealership wanted almost $300.00 to do the 600 mile check up on my bike, check the fluid levels, adjust chain, check tire air and check torque specs on some bolts. Total time around 20 minutes that's counting wheeling the bike into and out of the garage.

Why people pay for a BS service I'm not sure.

 

donno what kind of 30k mile service taht is lol....

 

bikes have a lot of random bs maintenance at low mileage.
