sales person was very friendly. Finance manager rushed paperwork quicker than I wanted; and got frustrated when we changed our mind about the payment option. paperwork quicker than I wanted; and got frustrated when we changed our mind about the payment option. More

This is my 4th Nissan, great cars but I come to your dealership for the service! I have been a faithful customer for more than 20 years-I think only Richard Girard is aware of that. He is always good f dealership for the service! I have been a faithful customer for more than 20 years-I think only Richard Girard is aware of that. He is always good for a warm greeting! I do find all the follow up and questionaires a little too much...you should be checking with the people who don't come back More
This is not entirely about my recent visit with them but my dealings with them overall. I had thought my dealings with Girard Nissan had been great until I began to be bilked by them. I put $30K cash down o my dealings with them overall. I had thought my dealings with Girard Nissan had been great until I began to be bilked by them. I put $30K cash down on my vehilce. At 1st the service appeared to be great then at every oil change it seemed they found something they had to "quote" or "repair" on my vehicle. True I am a woman but I'm an experienced driver (driving since I was 15, no accidents until I was 34 & I wasn't at fault) & owned all my vehicles except this one outright. 1st tune-up, $710 paid! 2nd Tune up, $710 paid! The bilking began with my tires. Only Toyo & only 2 offerings for my vehicle, $2K paid! Then my 1st brake job, quoted $600 but paid $800+! On an oil change they noticed a "scratch" (actually paint transfer)on the rear quarter panel and without prompting gave me a quote of $1100 for "repair" and repainting. I buffed out the scratch without having to repaint it myself for $5! Then on another oil change I was told that my calipers were shot and needed to be replaced to the tune of $680! I didn't believe them and took my truck to my usual mechanic and he said the calipers were fine, clean and pushed back without resistance or corrosion & he replaced my new Toyo tires bought online for $700 for set of 4! Then to test Girard I put an item in my front passenger seat that I knew would set off the air-bag light. I was due for an oil-change so I took it to them and they came back with what I thought it would be diagnosed as but in the interim they checked those "bad" calipers and ended up breaking the ABS sensor off. The nerve of them to have called me, told me what THEY had done and then expected ME to either pay up front for the replacement part or come and take my truck until I would pay for the replacement part at $190 plus labor costs! I told my mechanic and he was appalled that they were going to have me drive my vehicle with an ABS sensor missing as it would have thrown off the other 3 and I would have been in real danger as well as having to pay for major repairs IF I didn't kill myself and others 1st! I called back and demanded that since they admitted they broke the sensor that they replace it at no cost to me and since I didn't authorize them to even look at that "issue" they better do as I asked ASAP! They did it and that was the last time I took my vehicle to them until I needed my CVT fluid drained and filled (which only they can do apparently) nearly a year later! Also 2 days before the vehicle started making a revving noise and I told them exactly what it was also. It was the wheel hub assembly on the front passenger side and my mechanic said the parts were Nissan only, no aftermarket offerings. Girard charged me $108 to diagnose which I had already had diagnosed and informed them of. Them $203 for the parts, $400 for the labor and they forgot about my CVT fluid change because they had bigger fish to fry and more money to get out of me with the wheel hub assembly issue! I had to remind them about the CVT fluid change when I brought it back to them for the wheel hub assembly repair. The only reason m,y mechanic didn't do it is because after Girard got their greedy little hands on the vehicle they charged me the $108 already and I was going to have to pay it so I figured just let them do the repair & I thought the quote had included the CVT fluid change because that's what I originally went in there for. That wasn't the case, the CVT fluid change was an additional $229! They also "quoted" me about $1700 additional things on my vehicle, none of them major mechanical issues and none of them issues my master mechanic of 40 years couldn't handle at his shop! Oh yeah, he quoted me $467 for the same job with the unavoidable $203 parts and the labor! I am appalled at Girard Nissan! I take care of my vehicle and I do the routine repairs and I trust that when I go to them that they are upfront and honest about what needs to be done to my vehicle but they haven't been! My original service person was Don but since he left I have been bilked over and over again. There is no telling what "repairs" I've paid for that I didn't need since his departure! I will never buy another vehicle from them nor will I have my vehicle serviced by them unless absolutely necessary! More

They've been helping me maintain my car in shipshape. They even arrange for my pick-drop on the day I leave my car with them for servicing. Recently, I had to change my fuel-tank door. They did not have the part handy, but they could give me an exact date when I could bring my car to get it fixed in just 15 minutes flat. The speed at which they got that done was amazing. More
Great customer service!!! Robbie Tasca, Patric Saad and Mike Wilson were very friendly and made purchasing our Nissan very easy. They took the time to go over all the features in the car so we knew how ev Mike Wilson were very friendly and made purchasing our Nissan very easy. They took the time to go over all the features in the car so we knew how everything worked. They went over the different warranty packages and helped us pick one that worked best for us. And they even gave us a tour of the dealership so we would know where to go when we have the car serviced. I would definitely recommend Girard Nissan to anyone who is looking to purchase a new car.

My husband and I went to Girard Nissan on a Monday night after 6 p.m. Bernie Loubier was very helpful and willing to stay late taking us for a test drive and then speaking with us after the test drive. I after 6 p.m. Bernie Loubier was very helpful and willing to stay late taking us for a test drive and then speaking with us after the test drive. I went back on Tuesday night and spoke with Bernie once again. We came to an agreement on both the trade in of my car and the purchase of a new Nissan. They took care of getting a pay-off on my trade-in as well as contacting my insurance company and getting me coverage on the new car. Bernie explained all of the options in the car and their use. We had a very favorable experience with Girard Nissan. More
