We just picked up the FX50 from Cerritos Infiniti - total cost $215.60. Not Cheap. Here's how it breaks down: $120 for labor, $87.51 for parts and of course California sales tax. This service interval required replacing the cabin air filter and that part alone cost us about $67.00. We also found out that low brake fluid was causing the VDC and RAS lights to come on randomly. Our advisor says that the problem should be fixed. Also, a recall fix was made to the power adjustable steering column - no charge of course. To the credit of Cerritos Infiniti, they told us about the recall and not the other way around.
Finally, we learned that our brake pads are at 50% meaning we've used up half their life in just 15,000 miles. Cerritos Infiniti gave us prompt, efficient service but for the money we'd expect nothing less.

Well if you can afford this car, I'm sure the price for the service won't be an issue.

I replaced my cabin and engine filter myself a couple of months ago and I saved about $40 a filter. I told the dealer just to change the oil. If they didn't price gouge so much I would have had them do it all.

$215.00 is actually not that bad- I've driven lesser model cars that require more money at that interval.

I saved $80 dealer charge to replace the cabin filter myself (although getting the filter from the dealer still cost me $40).

Looks like a concept car in that photo. (and in almost every other photo too)

Not a bad price really, and at least it isn't falling apart like your BMW's.

What did I tell you in the "They're Back" post? Brake fluid....

Low brake fluid is a good indicator the pads are low too. I guess 50% in this case.
