They only keep records for 7 years in current file at the selling dealer, they are achieved and can be pulled back into current when you do dealer services [most of the time].

Any decent lock smith can copy the valet key on to the Drivers key blank.......the only difference is a narrow slot [trough] that runs from the square notch to tip of key on both sides on the Master blank .......none on valet blank.

When are we going to start attacking the $4,000 worth of immediate problems, waiting will just pile another $3,000 on the Q.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Since T3 FINALLY burned thru the 5 sets of discount guide parts -- only took 6 months..........We have to come up with another discount idea for members.........my thoughts [no promises] are to let members have a ONE time go [1 service ticket] at bring their own parts [assuming they are clean BRAND new not junk yard] and only charging our regular labor rates.......that could be a one time savings of 25% [plus no sales tax like another 7-8%] if members used some of the forums sponsors to get parts. No warranty on your parts just that they will be installed correctly........if they fail it's up to you to pay replacement labor since the parts won't show on our computer. This will only apply at South Cobb Store since it will need to be controlled and not for General Public, yet old customers who are members can avail themselves ONCE.

The problems occur when people don't supply everything we need to do the job.......but then they would just pay list for the unsupplied part..........plan carefully on the expensive items.

This could be a $300 discount on something like a combination evap and compressor/dryer change out. Obviously we cannot allow you to bring you own R12.[contamination?]You must deal with your own core returns [trannies/racks/pumps] and place heavy items near the technican.

Christmas in MAY.

We cannot do this for engine replacements as the risks are just too great to provide a warranty without compensation when none is given to us when you supply.........everything else [in the Infiniti line no Lexus] is fair game as long is it is a new Infiniti part or common approved unit like JWT, Stillen, Tokico, Metal Master pads. Power Stop rotor, etc.

I called Infiniti's 1-800 number, and gave them the VIN#. I told them I was thinking of buying the car, and the girl of the phone went throught the entire servcie history wit hme. She could not fax or email it to me, but was more than willing to read it all to me slow enough, so I could copy it down.

It was awesome!:ylsuper :ylsuper

Infiniti: 1-800-662-6200

-needs 120k service $585-trans flush $120-differential service $90-trans mount $180-valve cover gaskets $477-oil pressure switch $62

Do all the engine stuff above since the labor overlaps... then 6-12 months later worry about suspension, steering, etc.

I'd also add fuel injector cleaning and intake cleaning (about $100 each). Should make a HUGE difference.

I spent $1500 in January at T-3 and don't regret it one bit. Easier to do everything at once and get it over with.

Hey Wes, (or anyone else)

How do you program two remotes. If I do them one at a time the second one erases the first one?

You need to do step 4 and 5 again, for each additional remote:
