1st Qashqai Service

BobMc

Hey Gang,

wifes qashqai due first service, price seems very high, anyone have rough ballpark what they think first 15k service should be coming in at ??


thanks in advance

GavMan

That's a little vague.

Whats included in the service you're getting quoted for. Is there any additional work on top of the service.

Have you tried other dealers for quotes?

BobMc

havent been told whats included looking for e200.00 with 10% off e180.00 just seems high for 1st service low mileage,

I'll try another nissan dealer to see how it compares

biko

What price did you get quoted? Edit, 200 seems a bit high but not unreasonable.

What items are done at 1st service?


Manual I found on the net https://owners.nissanusa.com/content/techpub/common/2015/2015-nissan-service-maintenance-guide.pdf

Jesus 1st service shouldn't be anymore than 80-100 quid and thought first service was free on new cars

Those days are long gone.

It used to be the case when new cars had to be "run in" and the first service was supposed to tighten whatever had shaken loose.

Modern manufacturing methods have eliminated this (or so we're told!).

colm_mcm

how big is the service interval though?

BobMc

thanks guys, we'll suck it up so, was kinda of expecting 120 / 150 mark just felt e200 then discounted to 180 was steep, will ask the misus what its covering

Oil and filter most likely. It's definitely on the high side for that so ring around a few garages. Last two first services I had on cars were both €99 at 15k km.

Toyotafanboi

Qashqai was what, €30,000?

€180 for a first service is a bit steep?

Not being funny, but genuinely, how much would you deem acceptable to pay for the annual maintenance of your €30,000 car if €180 is coming across as saucey?

That's a mere 0.5% of the vehicles purchase price for annual maintenance.

Honestly, not trying to be high horsey or cendescending, it's just something that gets me wondering.

This s a bit speculative but, the oil and oil filter is probably going to be €60-70, it'l probably get a cabin filter too for another €25 or so and around an hours labour. Hardly daylight robbery or anything for genuine Nissan parts, a Nissan trained technician etc.

SgtBob

€169 for the 1st service on mine at nissan in Liffey Valley. If I remember correctly from the last car which wasn't a nissan, It was about that as well, even for the major service. Though you pay for the parts that need replacing on top of that. Shouldn't need anything replaced on the 1st though.

first service on my new xtrail was €130 in luceys charleville,washed as well and done while my dad who dropped it up went for lunch.Great service

That's a bit like saying you paid €400,000 for your house and you're giving out about paying €80 to get your gutters cleaned when you know people who got it done for €50.

The 1.5 dci in the €30k Qashqai is the same as in a €13k Dacia.

I guess your right, it is a bit like that. But the point still stands, the house or car in this case is your asset, why would you strive to spend as little as possible to maintain your asset, one which you rely on daily, when you know it will most likely involve compromises on quality.

I'm not saying be flippant or foolish with your money, but if you have some kind of money, which you must if you a are driving a €30k car,why not just get the job done right, the price quoted is hardly extortion and you know the job will be oxo.

It's the beginning of a race to the bottom.

I'm not saying there aren't indys who could do a good quality oil and filter on a Qashqai for marginally less, but is there any harm in "splashing out" the extra €30-40 in year one and getting a main dealer service.

Windsor do servicing deals from €99. Now obviously the oil for a diesel will be a bit more, but not €101 more.

Change Oil & Oil filter
Check and report all lights & bulbs, brake lights
Check and report on exhaust, battery & wipers
Check and report on tyre tread depths
Check and report on front brake pads, rear brake shoes / pads
Check and report on brake, clutch, power steering & washer bottle fluid levels
Check and report on the suspension which includes shocks, struts, springs, bushes and links
Test drive

I can't see them doing much more than the above on a 15k service.

Ah yeah, but sure they must be near making a loss at €99 and hoping for a bit of upselling.

No harm in a business just making a small bit on a service from the get go.

That sounds conceited but I mean it as sincerely as possible. It's a race to the bottom and ultimately the only loser from all the cost cutting is the consumer, who set a precident for it in the first place.

colm_mcm

You can see why paying much less than €200 is entirely reasonable from the OPs point of view though?

Absolutely.

Cheapest isn't always best though and with a brand new car, i'd bare that in mind, that's all.

kirving

Even though it won't void your warranty by bringing it to an independent garage, if it was me with a new car, there's no way it would be going anywhere but the main dealers.

For a difference of maybe €50, your getting peace of mind, possibly a better resale value, the chance of some good will should you ever need it on something non-warranty related

That said, on my own car I do absolutely everything I can myself. One, because I enjoy it, and two, the above doesn't apply to me with an older car unfortunately!

But it's a Nissan main dealer!

I know you know how little work is actually done on a 15k service!

I'm not suggesting he get Fred in the shed to do an oil change using Crisp n Dry!

You spend 30k on a car that depreciates at 5k a year and worry about 200 euro on servicing it..

Toyotafanboi

Yeah, when you say it like that, there's a fair discrepancy between €99 and €199 for the same first service.

I think we are coming at it from different angles though.

Obviously the consumer will be in favour of the €99 offer from a Nissan dealer and thats fair, but from the dealers end they are making the square root of sweet f all on it, whereas the dealer doing it for €180 might be taking a comfortable €50 from your annual visit which from the business perspective is a lot more idealistic.

I know recommending going to somewhere more expensive so they can take more profit is an unpopular mind you :pac:

colm_mcm

The OP won't get it for €99 though, as the oil will be a bit more.
If they are offering it, they clearly want the business, and are targeting value conscious customers, everyone else can pay whatever they ask

It's clear they want to make money, there's no harm in that, but I'm sure the OP didn't pay list-price for the car in the first place.

kerten

Not meaning to hijack but keywords matched a little bit.

Bought a 06 Nissan Note 1.6 which has been serviced by Windsor multiple times via those 99-129 Euro deals. It was a good thing when I was buying but then reviewing the service bills deeper I noticed that they always used 10/40 engine oil for the car requiring 5/30.

Wouldn't care too much but surprised with main dealer using cheaper and wrong spec oil to be honest.

wonski

180 euro for a service at main dealer sounds just about right.

Could be done cheaper, but nothing wrong with it imo.

If you don't approve it, look around op.

Service is a service, no plugs and 123 points checks at 15k, but you still need an oil and other bits.

Pricey? Yes.

Overpriced? Maybe...

Stallingrad

VW charge €150 for the same service, which included and software updates a a mini valet. Anything South of that is fair for a minor service on a new car, considering you are protecting your warranty at the same time.

A 100 euro labour is day light robbery

I got the folks Renault Megane serviced, was €190 and that was the 2nd service. Only reason we went with it was to keep the warranty valid. They said it needs to be serviced with Renault to keep the warranty which to me is stupid. All they did was oil, oil filter, full car check, screen wash and a wash. Absolute rip off. He will be getting rid of car by end of year so ill service it myself near then

I must be one of these people who never benefits from good prices!! Whether it be tyres - people are always talking about putting on premium tyres for €80 a corner when a middle of the road hankook costs me north of €140 - although to be fair I just recently got a set of Continentals sport contac 5 for €145 a corner.

Same with services - I've never got a service done for less than €150 no matter whether I've gone to a dealer or an indie. Most indie's I have gone to charge in the region of €180 for a basic service. Last service I got for a local indie (2L diesel) who was recommended by a friend charged €220 for a service involving oil/filter and fuel filter and various checks and a further €370 for a timing belt change. I didn't think it was too bad until I see what some people here consider expensive !

Really? We've bought 6 cars from new since 2014 and a 5k check up and full 1st service at 15k have always been part of the deal. Current car is a 232 and it's just had the 1st full service free of charge at the start of the month.

Now I know there are also a lot of PCP deals floating around with an included service plan but ours is straight deal, no finance.

Apologies, just spotted the dates in this Necro thread🤦
