Maintenance Costs on M35

[Melle67]

I just bought a 2007 M35 last week. I'm taking it in for service this weekend (the basics, oil change/filter). It has 24k miles on it (it was a rental in its past life)and the record book isn't filled out so I'll have it checked thoroughly. I'm curious about the prices that people are paying for basic maintenance. I'm guessing it probably varies by region. I'm in Atlanta.

On my M45 I pay about 15 bucks for oil and a filter and change it myself. Other than that it's just fluids as needed and wiper blades. No need to take it to a dealer for easy stuff like that.

Any time an INFINITI is in at an INFINITI dealer with an Repair Order opened (oil change, warranty repair, etc) all of that information is easly obtained from an INFINITI Dealer...

Go into your local INFINITI dealer, give a service writer your VIN number and they will get you the history from any INFINITI dealer it has been to...

We charge $85/hr and dealers vary from $110-$130 all 8 of us sell parts at the same MSRP.

Your greatest expense will be brakes and tire/wheels [rotation , alignment, balancing] after the 100% fluid exchange [diff, brake, ATF, PS, Coolant] and HVAC filter replacement things will be pretty quiet until 60k.

Check the prices [shop all 5 dealers] for the Nissan backed extended warranty to avoid things from 60-100k.

Infiniti of Gwinnett seems to be hungrier than the rest and you might try them first but at $1 per mile driven pick the closest one
