SERVICE CENTER IS NOT REPUTABLE - bhill0425
On Friday 10/5, I took my 2015 Altima 3.5 SL to the service center for a simple oil change and tire rotation with the standard multi-point inspection. My experience was bad as soon as I walked in the door and got worse as my time there continued. I had a coupon for the 39.99 oil change deal and told the advisor who checked me in and she said she would take care of it. When my vehicle was done, the advisor came and told me the car needed a new xxx battery cable and brake cleaning but other than that the car was fine. (which i knew was a lie because my left rear tire is low on air constantly and my right back tire had a cut on the outside because we just got our state inspection) but I assumed they at least did the oil change and tire rotation right so I didnt mention his overlooking of the condition of my tires and the opportunity to sell me a pair of tires. When I got my vehicle back, I saw that the 'LDW/BSW Malfunction light was on, which was not on when I checked the vehicle in for service. I immediately took the car back inside and showed the advisor who then went in to get the technician who worked on my car. No one had a clue what was wrong or even took the time to go get someone else who may know what was going on. He simply turned off the Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Warning feature so that the light would 'go away'. I was going out of town and didnt have much time to stay to wait for it to be checked back in so I made an appointment to come in 10/8. After that, I went home and showed my husband the paperwork and he went out to inspect the vehicle. He noticed that the two rear tires that had damage WERE STILL IN THE SAME PLACE! The tires WERE NEVER ROTATED. Which explains why the technician failed to mention that my tires needed to be replaced when he did his 'multi point inspection'. In fact, he put that there were NO cuts, nails, or damage to the tires. On 10/8 at about 3am on the way back from VA that same tire with the cut gave out and went flat. I understand that the tire going out was NOT the fault of nissan or the technician, however his negligence to rotate and inspect the tires as he indicated he did caused us to think that the tire may not have been as bad as we thought and that it didnt need to be replaced quite yet. Had we had known, we would have purchased two tires that day. So on 10/8, we took the vehicle back to the dealership and explained all of this to the advisor who helped me on 10/5. She stated that she would take care of the installation of the tires for free and all we had to do was purchase a tire whether it be there or anywhere else. I agreed and told her I would come back on 10/9 to get the tires installed, she would jut have to let me know the price. She stated that she would price some tires for us and give us a call back by EOB 10/8. It is now 10/9 and I have still not heard from them. The service there is awful and we literally just purchased our car back in August of this year. I will NEVER take my car back to this place. I simply needed a tire rotation and oil change and couldn't even get that without issues. Please train your staff to do their due diligence and complete their job assignments without rushing or lying about what is done. Also, please teach your advisors what integrity on the job is and to not make promises you have no intentions on keeping. Me and my husband were very nice given the circumstances and this is how we were treated? Never again.
