Jamie at Autoworkshop is one of the places I trust to service my cars and as you can see he posts the servicing costs freely on the net.

I did my 30000 service there and i was juggling between Autoworkshop and Autoworx. Since i work real close to Autoworkshop, i decide to try em out.

And boy am i glad i did.

Jamie knows his trade that's for sure. For $450 i got a full service, brake clean, handbrake adjustment and four wheel alignment. The car feels so good afterward. Not only that, he spent 20 minutes when i came and picked up the car and literally explained every little detail on the service he did. A customer service hard to find in Auto repair shop nowadays.

I'm a very happy customer.... :) ....<--- Always wanted to use this emoticon :(

+++1 for Autoworkshop, coming from nissan servicing i felt i was being jipped and being charged for things that weren't necessary, Phil at the Autoworkshop did a mid-service 35k service and changed spark plugs, belts and rear diff oil and again went through all the little servicing details and even showed them to me with bonus rim & headlight cleaning =)

overall came to about $735 although slimmed my wallet immensely, was very happy with the service at hand and the car felt smoother driving away too =)

Thanks for the recommendation guys!! :D

You guys are getting seriously sodomised on your servicing prices... I used to pay $190 for a regular service and $350 for a major on my 350z from a Nissan dealership.

That's pretty good. What happened? you said "i used to pay"

Did you sell your Z?

That is uncalled for in more ways then one, if they are happy with the service they received after stating how much they paid what is your problem how much they pay, in life you get what you pay for.

This has to be the first time I have ever heard someone say a service by a second year apprentice (if you are lucky) at a major dealership is better then one by someone with Jamie's experience.

I don't have a problem... Im just letting everyone know there's a cheaper option. There's not much entailed in a regular service and you don't need to be a master mechanic to competently carry out a service. Unless you're getting sexual gratification on top of the mechanical service I can't see how anybody who knows better would still be happy to pay these prices when they can service it at the prices I quoted. You own a friggin Nissan not a luxury euro car. In fact most Nissan dealerships have the 350z's as the cheapest Nissan to service. That's right cheaper than your micras or tiidas.

I was quoted $199 for a service from James @ Tokyo Motorsports (a.k.a. Autoworkshop) using Motul full synth oil and quality filters. I don't see that as getting sodomised going on price and quality of service items. If you have additional work done e.g. tranny & diff oil change or coolant flush then it's going to cost more, much like it does at a dealership. My V8 Calais standard services cost is around $250 from Holden. Start adding other service items like previously mentioned and the bill goes up pretty damn quick. I've had a bill from Holden at $1200 once, that was Sodomy. I was pissed that they replaced & serviced components I didn't authorise and let the service manager know about it, In verbal AND written form. The Bill was reduced to $800 and my next service was free.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
