Default best place to service my z....

alright could anyone tell me where i can take my z for service? i was gonna take it to firestone bcuz i know someone that works there and its best to have someone that you know work on your car but i was told that they wont work on my car if i dont wanna use their oil and oil filter. I bought an oil filter from nissan and was gonna buy some mobile 1 but now I need a place that I can trust. thought about taking it to nissan but when i called they said service "starts" at $149 which is pretty much an oil change and check brakes etc. Could anyone recommend me to a reputable shop that they "trust" and can service my 350z and make sure its all good? thanks in advance.

$149?! What dealership did you go to? King Windward is the best dealership in my book hands down. An oil change shouldn't cost you more than $30 AND they do a 21 point inspection for free (checking your brakes). I take my Z there all the time...don't trust anyone else.

Give them a call: 235-6435

i called new city nissan and some lady gave me the starting price which is $149. crazy. i read a post in here saying that island brake alignment is pretty good. So Im gonna try give them a call. I ordered a set of tanabe gf210s so I think Im gonna have them install the springs and service my car same time. But if you guys know anymore places, let me know. thanks.

I take mine to Island brake and alignment for every oil change. They specialize in lifting lowered cars, plus i take them my own oil and filter. I trust them. As far as engine work, take it to Seth and Robert at Sonic Motorsports. They do all my work

I go to STS808 for everything. Tint, stereo, paint, bodywork, SC's turbo's, brakes, suspension, services you name it they can pretty much do it all. Its really a one stop shop!

i can do the oil change myself and my brother and his friends are mechanics so we can do the work but i rather have service records for future purposes. sounds like island brake and alignment is the right place to go so Im gonna give them a call once my springs arrive. thanks people!!

STS808 is ALMOST a one stop shop, dyno tuning and alignment are one of the things they can't do...as far as i kno so far.
