75,000 km service

[OAG]

Hi guys, recently brought my car about a month and a bit, however it'll be due for a service, I'm just wondering how much would I be looking at that's a fair price? It needs to go back to Brighton Nissan or south melbourne Toyota as it was part of an extended used car warranty, any inputs is greatly appreciated, thanks

Probably a question like how long is a piece of string? Obviously, condition is the real question though. Does the extended warranty come with any sort of capped price servicing?

Hi mate, condition wise, I would say ok, I wasn't sure if it was a standard service or a major service, car was ex rental

[Kanmuri79]

Oooh Ex-Rental... That can mean anything - it could have been thrashed or could have looked after depending whether it was a long term rental or short term... Lots of things come into play as far as condition but if its covered by the warranty i doubt it should cost much...

Where did you buy the car?

[OAG]

Warranty wise, it has passed the new car warranty so no capped price servicing , but I have 3 month used car coverage, with an additional 2 years with Brighton Nissan, however in such case I can claim a max of $1000 per year, just thought I should ask before bringing it in

Also just a note, the build date is 10/11, I'm not sure how the warranty works, can anyone clarify? Thanks

warranty is 3 years or 100k (whichever comes first), unless you puy extended warranty when you buy the car

Hi Aiden, the car was brought second hand from Brighton Nissan, would the warranty be transferable ?

[Harlo]

Yes, original manufacturer warranty is transferrable across used cars (it's third party and such that usually aren't). To be honest, you'd probably save more money servicing at an independent/another dealer instead of gambling a $1k reserve for warranty work servicing at Nissan.
