Do not go to this dealership!!!! I went to this dealership on October 30, 2021 because my check engine soon light was on and I needed to clear it for inspection. I paid $185 for them to diagnose it dealership on October 30, 2021 because my check engine soon light was on and I needed to clear it for inspection. I paid $185 for them to diagnose it. Marcus Hicks told me I needed a new transmission for $7,000, that I couldn’t get a rebuilt one because nothing was wrong with the part, but that the dark oil, with a smoky smell, indicated that the transmission had failed internally and a brand new transmission was my only option. They told me I would see a picture of the new transmission, etc, etc, and that i would get another 100,000 miles out of the car because everything else on the car looked great! I almost agreed to it but remembered that I planned to ask a mechanic at church for a second opinion. Then Nissan so kindly suggested I leave my car there so I wouldn’t further damage it and use their free rental car over the weekend until I got my second opinion. The following Monday, November 1, 2021, the church mechanic recommended a very honest and skilled mechanic. I went to Nissan to get my car and drove it to the recommended mechanic. While the honest mechanic was looking at my car, I got a text from Kevin, a Nissan manager, asking to buy my car at 20% above the market price from his PERSONAL phone number. Why would anyone want to buy a 2008 Maxima that needed a $7,000 repair????because they are SCAMMERS!!! Then, my new honest mechanic said he drove the car and didn’t see, feel, or hear anything wrong with the transmission. Said it drove perfectly fine. Said that when he recommends a new transmission, the car is usually shaky, makes noises. He said dark oil is normal for a car with 145,000 miles and said he did not smell any burnt oil. He recommended I flush the transmission fluid, he reset the light, and said to watch to see if it came back on, before he would recommend a brand new transmission. So far, it has been almost 3 weeks, and the car drives perfectly fine (as it did before) and the light has not come back on. I cannot believe that Nissan tried to scam me out of $7,000 AND tried to buy my car!!! Please beware of going to this dealer. I even called another Nissan dealership who quoted $5,500 for a new transmission. If I ever do need a new transmission, I will not be going to Nissan Central Houston and I will warn everyone I know!!! More
The service I received at this dealership today was horrible. It took someone 5 minutes to come a great me for my appointment, that was no big deal. I got checked in and asked my associate if he would horrible. It took someone 5 minutes to come a great me for my appointment, that was no big deal. I got checked in and asked my associate if he would come and let me know if I needed additional services outside of my oil change if needed. He said yes. I waited an hour and watched my car get checked and my oil changed and figured someone would come and tell me if extra services were needed. No one came to update me so I thought all I was good. I proceeded to sit another hour and a half after my car had been taken off the lift. I went to go ask someone what the hold up was and my car was just sitting there ready to go. My associate was no where to be found. Someone else came and asked me and he said he couldn’t help me because he didn’t know. Then another gentleman came and called my associate and I asked to speak to the manager. I walked over and hear the manager say I’m not going to talk to her call such and such and he can deal with it. When my associate finally arrived he proceeded to tell me I had not been here that long. I had, he said we will get you checked out. 10 minutes later I get a text for the extra things that needed to be done. My breaks were one of the high issues items. I asked why no one told me because I could have gotten it done while I was there. He said no ma’am we don’t have time to do it you need to rent a car and leave it here. I explained they would have had time to do it had someone come and spoke with me 2 hours prior. I left because I had another appointment I was about to miss. When I got to my destination I noticed that my licenses plate was damaged and was partially falling off. Several screws were missing. I do recommend this dealership and I will not be going back. Nissan is a wonderful car, but the employees that work for this company completely turn me away from ever buying another one or going to them for further services. More
I called, to verify a car I found online, was actually on the car lot. They said it was there. I drove 60 miles, to find out it was not there. Then the sales man tried to sell me a car that was two times the the car lot. They said it was there. I drove 60 miles, to find out it was not there. Then the sales man tried to sell me a car that was two times the price of the one I went to see. More

Even though my buying experience was very easy , I would never buy another vehicle from this dealer . Bruce was helpful as he could of been but I felt with the issues a manager should of stepped in . I boug never buy another vehicle from this dealer . Bruce was helpful as he could of been but I felt with the issues a manager should of stepped in . I bought my car July 3rd and I have had minor issues with my 2021 Nissan Armada since I bought it. 2 weeks after I bought it I noticed the trim was bubbling I contacted the dealership which took a while to get in Bruce fir the most part kept me updated , and August 23rd they got my vehicle in . They had it to August 23rd through September 2nd the Issues I’m having with it were never resolved (nothing could be found wrong with it ) I thought the wrap around the trim was resolved to see days later it was in worst condition than when I left it. After numerous calls and no call backs except from Bruce to let him know what was going on James Adams responded via email September 10th “ We do apologize for the issues that you are having. Currently they are trying find ways to complete the black effect. Wrapping chrome is a difficult thing to do but they are exploring all options so that won’t become a reoccurring event. Once all the manager know the best possible option we will be reaching out to you.” With my experience with this dealership I’m very disappointed in . I have looked in other options to see if I myself can resolve the wrap issue abs will be taking my vehicle to the Waco Nissan dealership to hopefully have the maintenance issues resolved . So I will update review if this ever resolved . More
