hi friends

i was only wondering if this is normal;

today i took my car ( NISSAN X-TERRA) FOR AN OIL CHANGE.

when i show the service book to the guy at the garage, he told me that my car has rich 20.000 km. so it needs full check up. i said ok.,but how much will it cost? he told me QR 1800.

i thought he was joking, but later i realize he was very serious. is this price a normal price for a car check up after just 20 000 km?

pls help with ur opinions.i dont want to feel i got screw.

for normal service like every 5000km they wont charge you more than 200Qr or 300Qr unless spare parts is being replaced then they will charge you. mine is just a tiny winney saloon.

Its normal for 4wd and the first service she might have had done was either 1000Km or 5000Km. and on every 20000km and 40000km they charge alot. 1800 is nothing i was charged around 3000Qr for my saloon car on 40000km with full inpection and service.

fefee ....Oil change...

Is it the first service that you did? After 20,000Km? If it is the first service then it is economical and correct. But he might have to change the Brake Pads, the Ignition plug, Wipers etc the cost of these all will add to QR 1,800 that he mentioned.

A car should be serviced every 5,000Kms. My Honda Civic takes away QR 400 from my pocket at every service. My 40,000 Km (major) service is due in a couple of months...it will be QR1,000.
