What Others Say
Although I spoke with Mr. Tate from the service dept he was very helpful and clear on what I needed to do for my vehicle. However prior to speaking with him the other service staff was very rude, argumentative and very unprofessional. I will not be bringing my vehicle back to this location for service or repairs.
Lauren at Nissan scheduled my appointment a week in advance to test drive the Nissan Z. Upon arrival I was introduced to a salesman named Tairon pronounce (Tyrun) and the very first thing he said was I looked very young. I thought nothing of it and kindly told him I was in my mid 30s and would like to purchase the vehicle considering my previously purchased Nissan vehicle was almost paid off. Tairon stated I did not fit the typical demographic of Nissan Z buyers but we will test drive the vehicle.
After providing the requested information, Tairon left the desk area to make a copy (at least this is what he said) and when came back he stated the Z was not test drivable to keep the mileage on the vehicle closest to new as possible but he will show it to me. I followed him to view this car and I noticed immediately it had been driven.
There was debris in the driver side all over the carpet and I brought this to his attention. The screen in the car displayed over 500 miles. I told Tairon this car has been driven out of town so what is the reason I am unable to test drive it again? He said they do not allow people who don’t intend to purchase to “joyride” despite that I was there seriously considering purchasing the Z.
Throughout the interaction, Tairon made multiple remarks implying I was too young and could not afford the vehicle one of which stating the vehicle is too expensive when I asked him the price. This car is not that much more than the car I own now.
As a loyal Nissan customer who has purchased two vehicles, I found this to be discriminatory and unacceptable to be denied a test drive because the salesman has already deemed me ineligible to purchase. Mind you he never ran my credit to make this decision.
This experience fell far below the standard I expect from Nissan especially considering if the car was not test drivable, I should never had an appointment scheduled. My time was wasted and I was made to feel as if only certain people can buy this car.
It is my hope this review will lead to Tairon receiving more training in ethics and become a fair salesman if he continues to pursue car sales as a career. Nevertheless, formal complaints will be made as this was a frustratingly discriminatory experience. Not to mention, I wanted my next car to be the Z. I have mixed feelings about pursuing this vehicle at another location as I do not want to made to feel this way again. 0/10 I do not recommend shopping here unless you are the demographic they are looking to sell to.
This was a horrible experience. The sales people are liars and unethical. I can only assume the problem is the dealership's culture. We agreed on a price and they confirmed the pricing with their GM. I told them I dont want to waste my time if they can't honor the price I will walk out. Randy called me and said we can do it so I went the next day. When I got there they made me wait for 45 minutes only to show me a sales info sheet with thw wrong price and with $5,000 of dealer add ons. When I said we had an agreement, Randy said "even if we can do that..." at that point I left. I dont do business with liars!
Good experience with Jason. Bought a 2025 Nissan rogue and I am very happy with the treatment. Very smooth and fast.
Stay away… I am in need of help with a dishonest finance manager at Central Nissian Houston. My first interaction was with Mr. Jones who collected the required information to proceed with the transaction. Thereafter, Mr. Webb stepped in, accompanying Mr. Jones, and we negotiated terms and monthly payment amounts. I clearly advised Mr. Wedd of my preference to avoid lengthy car ownership, specifying a maximum term of five years and a desired car note range. Mr. Webb and I exchanged negotiations, with my initials on a written document outlining the agreed-upon payment amount and term duration. I met with Eddie the finance manager in his office for approximately 15 minutes, during which he exclusively discussed gap insurance, resulting in an increase in my monthly payments from $478 to $514. These were the only figures we discussed. During conversations about his background as a Veteran and my role as a federal employee, Eddie inquired about signatures without discussing my monthly payments, financing details, or interest rate. He neglected to review the contract in its entirety with me, demonstrating a lack of integrity. Upon returning home, I reviewed the contract and encountered an 84-month term and a total car price of $41,000, which differed from our initial discussion. I returned to the dealership on Monday morning to address my concerns with Eddie, and after sitting in his office for a few minutes, he provided a dishonest response to my inquiry, accompanied by a smirk, assuring me that everything was satisfactory despite the financial terms differing from Mr. Webb. I requested to speak with a manager, I proceeded to express my concerns regarding Mr. Walker's lack of accountability for his mistake Mr. Garcia dismissed my concerns about financial management, giving the impression of manipulative behavior, repeatedly stating that I had signed my signature and coincided with his employees without considering the possibility that Mr. Walker had acted dishonestly.
Zero out of 10...DO NOT RECOMMEND! Their communication is horrible. I went in to purchase a Genesis G70 that ended up being $8,000 more that the advertised price. Why? Because of my husband's credit they increased the sale price, which would have been fine IF the Sales Manager Lee had explained that rather than us pointing it out. Also they added a $4,100 warranty package that we had no knowledge of and did not agree to. Luckily, I noticed the warranty before the final paperwork was signed and asked then to take it off. It made them look very deceptive, hoping we wouldn't notice. Sales blamed Finance for not explaining the warranty while Finance blamed Sales.
*** 7/8/25***Let me add to this review whoever this person is that responded from Central Houston Nissan your mailbox is full and you don't answer your phone. Also I am on week 6 waiting for my license plate. When I FINALLY got someone to answer the phone I found out the plate has been there but they had neglected to let us know.
*** 7/16/25*** My husband went to pick up the plates and ask about the warranty paperwork only to be told they would have to be completed again because Kevin Chen, Finance Advisor, didn't complete them correctly. Mind you we purchased the car 5/31/25 and he NEVER bothered to let us know. Now we have to wait another 4-8 weeks for $4100 to be taken off. Please beware if you are considering buying from them. Is everyone at @CentralHoustonNissan inept and incompetent?
