Hey all, haven't posted anything in quite a while due to being busy with school etc., but I was wondering if anyone could help me out with some information for the service end of the Versa.
I got my 1.8SL Hatchback in March 2009 and have serviced it regularly since. However, I have quite a unique situation in that I only have 13,916 miles on it to this day! My boyfriend and I drive his car almost daily so I only drive the V about 4-5 days out of the week, if that. I want to keep low miles on it so I can make it last for many years to come because graduate school is not going to be cheap and I would like it to last.
Unfortunately, since my mileage is SOOOOOO low (according to the dealership service department), which it is, they always turn me away when I try to get the next scheduled service done when it specifies AT 35,000 MILES OR 36 MONTHS...whichever comes first!
At this point, I have a suspicion that the dealership has been charging me for service appointments and haven't actually touched anything except the oil!
What I want to know, is for having low mileage on an almost three year old car, what actually needs to be done???
I have looked through the manual and it's mostly checking fluids/changing oil etc. but I want to go in with clear intentions about what needs to be checked/changed.
Anyone have any ideas or experience with this situation?
Any help is useful, I'm not great at owning a new car...only ever had 100K+ on my previous vehicles.
Thanks and I apologize for the length...Cheers!:spiral:
