Long story short . I go for my oil change at dealership and person
Taking care for my car tells me about this 1 year inspection Estimate of 350$ including oil change . Something about reseting Factory settings, idle time?. Anyone of you guys done this ? What do you guys think ? Also included was fluid top off etc |

lol there is no such thing as a 1 year service
I would not go back to that dealer especially for oil changes, I only go to dealers for warranty work and nothing else! |

If my dealer did an annual inspection, they didn't charge me for it. I'm assuming they did it during an oil/filter change, but maybe they didn't do one at all.
I'm not sure what all is invovled with a 1-yr inspection, but that sounds like an awful lot. If you assume $100/hr, that's 3.5 hours worth of eyeballing your car. Other than a visual and kick the tires inspection, what do they plan on doing? If that doesn't include some parts, IMNSHO, they're trying to screw you. Call another Nissan dealer and see what they charge for a 1-year inspection. If you get it done with an oil/filter change, they may do it for free. Edit: LOL Especially if there is no such thing as a 1-yr inspection as per Waizzz.

+1. Mine's over two years old, so I don't have a lot of incentive to look it up.

Hmm sounds like bs to me too . So I wanted to ask here .
A part of that "1 year service" including cabin air filter for what pretty much Is for ac . That alone was 100$? And well like I said he said it was to inspect fluid levels Check brakes calibrate some things and reset ecu . Because " the ecu can forget orginal factory settings " . BTW oil change was 95$ ....and he said my tires seem worn lmao Only have 4.9k miles on the z lol |

If that's for Nissan Ester oil, it's a bit on the high side. If it's for a "regular" synthetic or syn-blend, it sounds a lot high to me As far as the work being done I thought you were just getting overcharged a bit, at the very least least paying top dollar, but with the reset and tires stuff, I'd find another dealer.

It's ok, dealers make more money off of people bringing their cars in for service nowadays then they do by actually selling cars
Thankfully you asked around since you were suspicious |

dealers are there to make money from service. dont get raped. just follow the MANUFACTURER's maintenance schedule. i only follow the lightest schedule in the maintenance booklet since i only drive my Z on sunny days on the weekends, light traffic, hibernated in winter. |
