I just had the following work done at my local Nissan dealership and was shocked at the cost. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me this is fair pricing and even if there is an official estimation of labour time from the Nissan maintenance manual that might support or contradict this labour charge?
Replace spark plugs:
Labour 1.6 @ $192
Replace serpentine/drive belt
Labour 0.8 @$96
Transmission Flush
5 bottles of fluid @ $82
Labour @ $120
Tire rotation
Labour @ $25
They basically had my car for 3 hours, to do the belt, plugs, tires and transmission fluid for a cost of $500+. It's the spark plugs that I think I'm questioning the most and maybe the transmission flush to a lesser extent. The only spark plugs I've replaced are on a 90 Civic and 95 Corolla a few years ago but honestly they were 20 minute jobs and i'd never even done it before. Is a Micra really that much more time consuming?
