Thanks for the response. I wish I'd joined this site before agreeing to this repair. I just requested a copy of the work order (all previous communication had been via phone) The work order specifically mentions oil starvation and sludge build up, and implies that upon doing the teardown, they discovered a new engine was need. The truth is that they told me the engine was repairable before I agreed to the teardown, AND after the teardown. It was only after they supposedly replaced the parts in question (which are different on the work order from the parts the service guy told me I need.), that they said the engine needed to be replaced. Also. they told me they only took off some oil pan on the underside to do it, and that doesn't sound like $900 worth of labor to me. I made every effort to have them waive or dicount the teardown fee, but so far to no avail. NISSAN customer service rep says it sounds shady, but they claim they can't make the dealership come clean. So, soon I plan to meet with the Service Manager for one last attempt to get results. If not, I guess I have no choice but to pay and go after them for the money later (my car has been in the shop for about 5 weeks now). Thanks for your input. Any other advice is welcomed. Thanks.
