Is it silly to pay extra for a proper luxury service when my Infiniti runs fine?

Post by blaiseholden »

I have been going back and forth with myself about this for a couple of weeks, and I am hoping some of you have the same habit of overthinking small car decisions. I own a 2017 Infiniti Q50 with about 64,000 km, and so far I have taken it to whichever shop was closest and cheapest. Nothing bad ever happened, but last month I noticed small things that bother me. The seats were not as clean as I liked after the last wash, the dashboard had a strange creaking sound over bumps, and the person at the counter could not tell me what oil they used. I just got a number and a quick thank you. My wife teased me and said I treat the car like a fancy toy but service it like a taxi. That stayed in my head. A friend told me luxury cars deserve luxury care and it saves money in the long run. Another friend laughed and said it is the same oil and the same filter, so I am only paying for a nice waiting room and free coffee. I read a page on to see what a premium visit actually includes, and it helped me understand that it is more about the right tools, the right parts, and a proper record of every visit than about coffee. After that I started asking around for Trusted luxury service for Infiniti owners in Khalifa City, since I live nearby and I would not mind a short drive if it is worth it. My doubts are simple. Does paying more really change how long the car lasts, or is it mostly comfort for the owner? Do they give you a clear list of what was checked, so you can see the work was really done? And does a full service history help when you sell, even a few years later? I would also like to know if they pick up the car or give a loan car, because that would make my week easier. Thanks for any honest opinions, even if you think I am overthinking this.
