Service Department is aweful I took my car for repair and was given wrong information about my car coverage. My Pathfinder have 59K miles and the cooling fan went bad. Took it for I took my car for repair and was given wrong information about my car coverage. My Pathfinder have 59K miles and the cooling fan went bad. Took it for repairs and the service person told me that the repair was cover. Next day I call for get a status on the repair and the first thing I was told that the mechanic was out and my car would not be worked until the next day. Later I got a call that the repair was not actually covered under Power Train Warranty and that the car will not be ready because the mechanic was out. I wont take my car to the dealer for service again and wont recommend it to any one. More
Poor Standard Maintenance Management Capability (Oil Change) Landers McLarty maintenance department is the worst I have ever experienced. The 2018 Nissan I purchased there was scheduled today for an oil change, Landers McLarty maintenance department is the worst I have ever experienced. The 2018 Nissan I purchased there was scheduled today for an oil change, appointment 0830...completed at 1200. When a standard preventative service is scheduled in advance and it takes approximately 3-1/2 hours to complete, several issues come to mind. Is it the maintenance facility e.g. lifts, proper tools etc.., Scheduling e.g. Time of Task error between appointments causing clerks to over book. Management capability to identify the problem, Management complacency e.g. believing that the free scheduled maintenance package provided when purchased will make the customer return regardless of performance. At some point the reasons and justification provided by the employees as to why its taking so long begins reflect directly on the integrity of the personnel/organization that are employed by Landers McLarty. Is what I am being told true? Regardless of the root cause of their issues, I do not recommend this service/maintenance department. Due to the nature of the Service & Sales departments relationship I would not buy a car from them again either. I might trade off this Nissan tonight, its to easy. More
Horrible Service Department This service department cannot handle anything other than routine oil changes....I can't even get a decent balance and alignment out of them. Have ha This service department cannot handle anything other than routine oil changes....I can't even get a decent balance and alignment out of them. Have had my 1 1/2 year old Maxima in there for so many issues and they always make me feel like I'm imaging things. I had a horrible jerking in the steering wheel when I put on the brakes and they tried to tell me it wasn't my brakes but my alignment. After paying for a balance and alignment it was NO better. I took it back again and they actually LOOKED at the rotors this time around and found they were warped so bad they couldn't be turned and put on all new rotors under warranty....but first time around they had assured me it couldn't be the brakes. Oh really? I've had it in three times for a "rock in a tin can" type rattle coming from the rear of the vehicle and they cannot fix it. Despite 2 different technicians confirming they heard the sound while driving my car they cannot find the issue. They also tell me that I shouldn't worry and that it's not unsafe to drive like that. Remember the whole brake issue? Pardon me if I don't quite believe you. Latest was the Bluetooth going out on my radio but intermittently. Despite telling them it was not my phone (which I can easily connect to Bluetooth in any other vehicle) they kept insisting it was my phone and I needed to delete and re-add my phone each time the Bluetooth went out. The only problem with that is when the Bluetooth goes out, you can't access the phone settings at all - but it's still my phone - yeah right. It took me calling Nissan Consumer Affairs for them to confirm it's a known issue and finally Landers McClarty would listen to me. I got a call yesterday morning from Nissan Consumer Affairs telling me that my radio replacement was at the dealership and LM Service would be calling me shortly to schedule me in to get it replaced.....never got a phone call yesterday and it's noon on the following day and still no phone call. I will be going elsewhere for all my future service needs with my current vehicle and will not purchase at this dealership again. More

Alignment Had to Came I to get alignment 3 times. Second time I drove off lot and could tell the alignment was off.they had my car most of the day from 7 to 3. Had to Came I to get alignment 3 times. Second time I drove off lot and could tell the alignment was off.they had my car most of the day from 7 to 3. I called back and was Scheduled to come back saterday and had to Wait 2 and a 1/2 hours to get my car back. That's 3 times just to get alignment right. Makes me wonder what I payed for. When they had my car my vent visor on driver side was broken and I was told that they would fix it but when I came back in I was told that they could not do it but if I bought everything and put it on they would Reimburse me. If they can't do an alignment how am I to trust that I would get Reimbursed. Plus what about the time I wasted taking my car in 3 times. You pay for something that takes 3 time to get it right. More
Good job Guys My Nissan was in service was getting routine maintenance. I decided to walk the lot and that is where I met Barry. I was not thrilled with my maxima b My Nissan was in service was getting routine maintenance. I decided to walk the lot and that is where I met Barry. I was not thrilled with my maxima because of the "SR" suspension . He showed me a 2017 Nissan Maxima SL with the colors I loved. It was freezing outside but talked me into "running some numbers" without being pushy. One big thing I liked about Barry was his knowledge of cars. About an hour later I was driving away in a car that is better for me. Thanks' Barry! More
Among all the other issues service department the worse Don't bother getting an appointment because the drive ups with no appointment still goes ahead of you. Also was told that they would remove an accesso Don't bother getting an appointment because the drive ups with no appointment still goes ahead of you. Also was told that they would remove an accessory from my truck under warranty but the changed their mind because they had a guy quit that did that type work. Bad customer service. Also had the manager tell me if I bought a Titan from the dealership they would set me up with a free service program for first 2 yearsand that also was a lie. Do your self a favor so elsewhere. More
Awful Service Experience I came in to get my car mileage reader looked at as I was told by Service to do upon calling because I put gas in my car and the mileage did not go up I came in to get my car mileage reader looked at as I was told by Service to do upon calling because I put gas in my car and the mileage did not go up. I arrived at 8 am, 10:30 comes around, 3 other customers that came in after me get their cars before me as I’m still sitting and waiting. Finally I get up to inquire on what’s going on with my car. The gentleman in service that checked me in looked very confused and unaware of what was going on really. Then, Mr. Ward comes over to assist the gentleman in explaining to me what is going on with my car. Mr. Ward proceeds to explain that my mileage reading is an “estimate” based upon my habits of driving the vehicle. I tell him ( as he proceeds to walk away from me back to his station) that I have never once heard of this. He explains with the new systems that that is how they work. I tell him regardless of it being an estimate or whatever he wants to refer to it as, if gas is put in the car, that the mileage should increase. Mr. Ward begins rolling his eyes while I’m talking and proceeds to tell me that he does not get paid to stand and talk with me for 30 minutes. Nissan does not pay him to do that and he has other customers waiting. Talk about unprofessional! Apparently if it’s not making Mr.Ward any money he doesn’t care to hear about it or help. I reported this incident to management and was assured they would take care of the situation. Hopefully no other customer will ever have to go through or be treated in the manner in which I was. More
