Buckley Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Z has to go in next week for service, put it off for a month due to holiday so now it's time, especially with the weather and being a rag top Cheapest Nissan have quoted is £308 I'm buying the parts from ZmanAlex but wondered...... all I'm paying for us the Nissan stamp really Should I go independent and get it cheaper or follow on the FNSH route? Does it effect resale value? What would you do? It's an 05 and hasn't missed a scheduled service yet, now on 41k, I've had it 16months and done 9k so it's ready now Opinions please Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy78 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 You'd think that taking your car to Nissan, although possibly more expensive, would provide you and your car with the best service possible... My car currently has a FNSH, but only because I haven't had to get it serviced yet. When the time comes, I'll probably find out how much Nissan will charge, but I know I'll end up taking it to my now trusted garage (Recommended to me by another forum member). They will still stamp the book the same as Nissan, I've had work done by them before so I know they'll do a good job, so I don't see why that would be an issue when it comes to sell on, or why at this stage of ownership that this would be more of a concern to me than the actual service the car gets and I personally receive.

Zugara Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Indy all the way. Got a P2 done at an Indy for £136 inc vat and parts on my 370z, supplied my own oil though. Without oil was £190. Nissan rip you off big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 With it being an 05 i'd probably take it to an indy, but Nissan should be dropping that price quite a bit if you're supplying your own oil and filters. You do realise you should have had the service done 4 months ago, right? I know you said you put it off due to a holiday, but surely wasn't a 4 month holiday As for resale value, I wouldn't really car if car has half a dozen nissan stamps and a couple of indy ones, but I would care if I saw it hadn't been serviced every 12 months.

cmck13 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hi mate what service is it P1 P2 or P3 and where are you live makes the difference. If you live near Lincoln I can give you some advice no good to you if you live in Aberdeen though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
