I have a local shop the specializes in imports that I trust. I am leaning towards taking the car there and have only the services I need performed a la carte.
My question is what services should be done now?

But, if you want to keep it longer, it might worth doing all specified in the schedule 1, unless you want to get your hands dirty and do them all minus the differential oil.

| I beg to differ with the Nissan employee, but ala carte at the Infiniti dealer was cheaper. $649 for the 30 K service -- what I had done ala carte and the costs associated were: (notice I had MORE services performed for LESS total cost). oil/filter.............................$39.95 DIscount Tires rotates my tires for free |
At Beshoff Infiniti in San Jose, CA the 30K Schedule 1 is $299 (+ $159 for optional sear filter) while Premium is $749 (+ $159 for optional sear filter). I let the shop do Schedule 1 (for warranty purposes) then do the rest on my own to match or exceed what's called for in the premium package.

| a 30k at my dealer comes in around $500 care to rethink your math |
Did you even read what he posted? He said that at his local Infiniti dealer, the 30k 'package' was $649, compared to the $535 a la carte...Seems cheaper to me...
At lot of stuff can be cut out - $85 for a cabin air filter? BS! You can buy the filter for like $15 online and do it yourself in 15 min...
If you don't want to do the fluid stuff yourself, then have the dealer take care of that, but as for the small stuff, definatly do it yourself - it's the exact same thing, and costs you a ton less!

Is there any need to change the drive belts at 30K? Seems excessive. If the belts don't have any visible cracks then why change at 30k?

| Frontier Infiniti in San Jose is charging $900 for 30K service. It includes new drive belts. They didn't show any other cheaper option. Is there any need to change the drive belts at 30K? Seems excessive. If the belts don't have any visible cracks then why change at 30k? |
depends on driving conditions and weather etc

To those in the SFO Bay Area, Beshoff Infiniti, though relatively new, is top rated right now in sales and service. I bought my cars from Peninsula and Niello and the sales process went smoothly but maintenance service at 'Pen' was awful. Frontier is no better. Frontier did the 60K in my Q but a day after the service. the idler pulley failed and my car was stuck with them for almost a month while waiting for parts. By the time they replaced it, my battery was dead and they would like to charge premium to replace it. I said just 'jump' it and I'll replace the battery myself. Two months ago, I needed an ABS relay. Beshoff was willing to sell to me at 15% discount but they don't have it in stock. So they referred me to Frontier. The parts guy at Frontier padded the price by $10 over MSRP. He only lowered the price to MSRP when I showed him the printout of the part cost from IoS.
Sorry for the rant. I just want to give you the reasons why I buy parts from Joe of IoS. At 20% discount, it's very hard to beat. With the additional 5% off extended until mid-July, I'll be buying more parts this week. I just got a shipment from them a week ago.

(1) 15208-9E000 oil filter, oil, antifreeze, (1) 11810-8J102 valve assy, (1) 49001-OC air filter, labor = $268.80
transmission fluid exchange = $70.44
front differential service & lube = $45.25
rear differential service & lube = $42.00
transfer case service & lube = $57.65
TOTAL (with tax) = $524.72
I did not replace the cabin air filter as I just had it replaced at 20k. Front brake pads were still ok, rears were replaced this past fall. This also included a tire rotation.
