A lot of the time dgenuine dealers charge $60-$80 an hour for labour when other mechanics charge only $45. Mind you check out the shop-a-dockets cos i got one for Unley Nissan for a minor Service $79 inc oil and filter. I booked the cedric in and they did valve gaps and all for $79!! Ultratune charged me $190 for the same thing.

i think pricing parts from nissan is always a good idea before buying aftermarket, as you are sometimes pleasantly suprised (as i was).

as for dealer services, thats another subject

i wouldnt even let a car dealership service my wheelbarrow.
