Went above and beyond! I bought a 2017 Nissan Titan from lujack nissan in Davenport Iowa last year. It was new. First of all I love the truck but I will never buy another ve I bought a 2017 Nissan Titan from lujack nissan in Davenport Iowa last year. It was new. First of all I love the truck but I will never buy another vehicle from them. The salesman promised me that the new diesel v8 motor from Cummins would start no matter what the temperature is. He lied. At 7 degrees it barely made it. At 2 it wouldn't start. I have had diesel pickups for a long time. The power stroke motors are notorious for not starting in winter. I had a dodge with a 4.9 diesel in it and it never failed me in 11 years. When calling lujacks and telling them my problem they informed me that they no longer had a diesel mechanic and so they couldn't work on it. I told them I was told it was an infallible motor. They said "we don't know that he said that and that salesman no longer works here so we can't ask him!" They said to go find another dealer. I did. Ken Nelson in Dixon. Zack, the service manager, after two days of warming it up with knipcos and covering with blankets to get it started put it in the front of the line. He said that these trucks need a block heater. I told him what the other salesman had told me and he said, "he lied to you". After it thawed out I had them service it bile it was there and tell me what he thought. He said it needed a block heater and it might help where I get my fuel. I always keep additive in it but I don't always watch where I get my fuel. After complaining to lujacks and then Nissan about what I was told, lujacks finally agreed to supply the parts but as they didn't have a diesel mechanic I was on my own getting it put in. Lujacks finally sent the parts to me and I talked to Zachary about getting it in. I came out of work 2 days ago and my def system failure was flashing. I called Zachary at men Nelson and he said to get it there. Again, he put me up front! They found an electrical issue and while they had to wait for 1 day for parts, the put in my block heater! The block heater on the Titans is a little more extensive than the old , " screw it in the freeze hole and plug her in" days. I got my truck back today with hopefully all of this nonsense over with! I would like to say that I did try to but the truck there first but we couldn't make a deal. Will I rethink it next time? Probably. It is worth something just to feel confident in the after buy care.Their service department is fantastic! I went back there in the shop and talked to the mechanic myself. Smart guy and everyone there, even the lady I paid was smiling! Folks, if you asked me to say one bad thing about ken Nelson in Dixon I couldn't and wouldn't. I do sometimes have a hard time dealing with them but we bought our new Corolla from them in 2009 and my wife won't get rid of it! I am very confident in their service though! The best of the best! Thanks zack! I owe you! Rick osborn More
Hard working dealership. I bought my first two cars from Ken Nelson and they are willing to do the work to find the car right for you.

New card sold with bad alignment, worst customer service. This is the worst Toyota dealership I have ever worked with. This was my 3rd new Toyota I have bought and I can honestly say Ken Nelson is the worst. This is the worst Toyota dealership I have ever worked with. This was my 3rd new Toyota I have bought and I can honestly say Ken Nelson is the worst. All started with buying a new SUV, wheel alignment was off. Dealership told me nothing can be done done for 750 miles. No one ever drove the SUV to validate my concern. Was told to go to a dealer if the issue is still happening at a later date. Went to a different later a month late to get it fixed, and was told, Ken Nelson Toyota lied to me. Spoke to the sales manager at Ken Nelson, very rude, he didn't care and asked me if my one arm was longer then the other because of my alignment being off. Never again. Find a different Toyota dealer and save yourself some hassle. More
New truck is great!! Drove 2 hours to meet Rusty Baker and check out a used Ford Ranger. Definitely worth the trip. Rusty was professional and showed me the vehicle with Drove 2 hours to meet Rusty Baker and check out a used Ford Ranger. Definitely worth the trip. Rusty was professional and showed me the vehicle with no pressure which is part of why we bought from him. The pleasant experience continued with Brett Simpson in finance. Working at a dealer myself, I kinda know what to expect in the car buying experience but they exceeded my expectation. Thanks Mark & Jennie More
