NTB - Grapevine - Alignment
NTB Grapevine Mills -- 214-513-1800
3590 N. Grapevine Mills Blvd
Grapevine, TX 76051
Talk to Brandon or Philip - ask them about the DI discount - they will knock off 15-25 bucks off the price of an alignment. They have inground alignment rack and have lowered cars there all the time because of it.
If you are on DI (dallasimports.net) you can find the info on the shop reviews..
They do GREAT work and you cant beat the price.

Shop Name: 44 Auto Repair
(214)998-5106 for quotes/appointments/questions
Open 7 days a week!
Dyno: No
Experience: Flawless and will beat ANY price!
These guys have a couple of the top technicians from Japan working here in the Dallas area. One of them worked in Japan specifically on 350z's and his work is FLAWLESS. He recently came here and is now working on project cars across the southern US. The best part is, they will BEAT ANY QUOTE from any other shop. They take real good care of the cars and make sure their have everything perfect.
I took my Z into the shop to get my body kit painted and installed. I also had the technician from Japan install my turbo kit and tune it as well. It was cheap and the work is amazing (those that have seen my car around the Dallas/Arlington/Plano area can attest).
Once again, this is the cheapest place with perfect labor. They're located in DFW around 635 and 35. Best option available from Plano to Arlington.

I know its been said before but Jotech in Garland is top notch. They did my exhaust, MRev2 and 5/16" spacer install and did a great job! Right in and right out no problems and great people to talk to. Awesome!

I need to take care of some tune up items on my car (71k and I have only flushed the radator so far)
I all my fluids look good but I was thinking about going ahead and:
- replacing belts
- replacing spark plugs
maybe getting my automatic transmission flushed but I don't know of a place that does that and on nissan's site I can't find any info on when they recommend that.
Anyone know a good shop to get these 3 things done and about how much it will cost? Thanks.

Belts aren't too expensive and can be done using a DIY we have on the forums (find via search).
Spark plugs are relatively cheap and changing them is also very easy to do (search for this DIY also).
The AT fluid price ranges depending on the brand but the fluid can be changed via a few bolts (DIY is out there for this one, too).
If you want to spend money, then you can pay somebody else (I volunteer myself
). However, I strongly urge you to at least search the procedures for the services you mentioned. That way, you're familiar with the process and perhaps even be able to attempt it on your own.Additionally, there are other things you should worry about, but not limited to:
-diff fluid
-brake fluid
-p/s fluid

You can do everything yourself, as they're relatively easy to do services.

3hree5ive0ero is right......I just replaced my plugs and it was very simple.
Dealerships want something like $ 450.00 or higher to have them changed.
They say they don't need to be changed until 100k, but I would recommend to anyone over 50k and cares about throttle response to go ahead and do it. I noticed a great deal of zip & pep back in the Z.I would definitely do the belts & Diff. fluid too.
I beleive that if you keep her well maintained...you should never have any major issues ( knock on wood ).
