I don't know if this is a one-time,only-thing, but felt I wanted to mention it. My mother drives a 2010 nissan sentra, built about 2/10 it has never been serviced by the dealer except for 'included' oil and filter changes, as part of the new car 'sell' I took the front left wheel off, to rotate the tires and, since I have replaced control arms, and cv axles myself in the past, looked around.
