Brakes Changed and False Recommendation - Odziyimpa
I went to Sheehy Nissan to get my oil change on 5 Apr 16 for my 2007 Nissan Armada and also to get a multi-point check only to be told that my rear brakes were worn out power steering hose is leaking, and my brake fluid was dirty. I declined both services and also had a mechanic at work also take a look at it. I went to the service center with my high performance brakes and slotted rotors only to walk out with the worn out brakes that was recommended for me. I showed a picture of the brakes that were on my vehicle to the service manager and informed him that the brakes were switched because mine had a red outer and you could see through it. Ron, the manager informed me that they would not have had enough time to switch my brakes. He also mentioned that I had an aftermarket key that for my wheels that did they, a Nissan dealership did not have access to. I was provided a number to call Nissan North America, where they took the case performed no follow up on the case.
Upon second check by the mechanic I mentioned above, the brake fluid was full and clean; there were no leaks on the power steering hose as recommend and the brakes that I had on there Has been switched by the dealership. I take my vehicle to the dealership to do routine maintenance only to come out with problems that were not previously there.
This is the second time I have issues with this service center and giving them the befit of doubt for a second time was my own doing. On the first occasion, I took the same vehicle to get rear hatch lock fixed, but when i took it home nothing hda been fixed. Whomever attempted to fix the hatch stepped all over my seats and did not even bother to clean it up. To top it off, when I returned it to get t looked at, the service manager attempted to charge me again for a job that was less than a week old. My car had to stay at the dealership for two days before I could get it. The promise of a car detail never materialized.
I have never writtem a recommendation on a service, but in this case it is warranted and required. When you take your vehicle there, make sure you ask to see what part they are recommending and as the vehicle is already disassembled waiting for your permission, ask to see what they are talking about. Better yet take a picture or ask them to take the picture if you are not allowed in the on the service ground..
I may be one customer they have lost, but hope you read and protect your vehicle. this is my second Nissan vehicle and I have dealt with several dealerships across the country, but this is by far the worse service center I have dealt with.
