Service estimate

Asked by GuruBJ6BJ Jan 28, 2019 at 09:05 AM about the 2012 Nissan Frontier SV V6 King Cab

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I recently made an appointment for service on my 2012 Frontier at a new
dealer.  In addition to oil and filter changes they are recommending: Replace
PCV valve- $79.99, Brake fluid exchange-$129.99, Rear differential fluid
exchange- $109.99, Auto Transmission fluid exchange- $209.99, Truck
Transfer Case Service- $99.99.  Do I need all of this work?  Truck is just
used for household use.

No you don't need to pay for any of that but if you wanna top off fluids do it yourself for the cost of buying the fluids

The PCV you can replace yourself for a couple of bucks. I would do fluid changes but not flushes. Changing out the brake fluid is a good idea. If you are handy you can change all the fluids for a fraction of those costs.

BTW. How many miles on the truck? Stay away from dealers. They will fleece you of your last penny.
