Nissan Rogue SL 2016 Repair Quote Check | Phoenix, Arizona Prices

Transmission

1. Diagnostic - Transmission Leak (Torque Converter Seal & Rear Main Seal): $2,618.09

• Fair/High? Expensive, but labor at a dealership for these jobs ranges from 11–19 hours total at about $175/hr, making labor $1,925–$3,325. Parts are dealer-only and pricey but usually not hundreds per seal.
• Verdict: This price is not surprising at a dealership for both jobs combined. Independent shops might quote $2,000–$2,400, potentially saving money.
• Upsell? Not typically if leaks are confirmed—ensure the diagnosis is solid and ask how both leaks were confirmed.
• Advice: Seek a second opinion to confirm both seals are leaking and ask the shop to show the exact leak sources.

2. Replace CVT Transmission Fluid: $289.99

• Fair/High? Slightly high but within the typical dealership range. Labor is about 1–1.5 hours at $150–$210/hr plus fluid cost $50–$80.
• Upsell? Not really; CVTs benefit from fresh fluid, but ensure the correct Nissan NS-2 or NS-3 fluid is used.
• Advice: Independent shops often charge $140–$220. DIY is not recommended without the proper tools and comfort working under the car.

Air Conditioning

A/C Recharge: $346.89

• Fair/High? High. Typical dealership prices are $120–$200 unless the quote includes additional diagnosis or repairs.
• Upsell? Likely if this is just a basic recharge. Request a detailed breakdown if that information is unclear.
• Advice: Local independent shops usually charge $149–$199. If the A/C is low, there may be a slow leak—ask if the source was identified.

• Fair/High? High end for a dealership. Parts cost $16–$25; labor is under 20 minutes.
