Clay Cooley Nissan - Service Center

Service Good, Customer Service Awful I just moved to the area, so I went in to have my oil changed and my brakes checked (the vehicle is still under warranty). The service guy I worked wi I just moved to the area, so I went in to have my oil changed and my brakes checked (the vehicle is still under warranty). The service guy I worked with was very helpful and even gave me a small discount, as a first time customer. I drove away thinking, this will be a handy location to get my oil changes done, since it's so close to my house. Two weeks later, I started getting phone calls about selling my Nissan to their used car lot. I called back immediately, explained that is was a lease, and that I was not going to sell it to them and to please take me off their list. FIVE PHONE CALLS LATER, and repeated requests to stop calling, I finally called the dealership, asked to speak to a manager and reminded them that I had, on at least 3 occasions on a RECORDED line asked to be removed from their phone list, and had not; a direct violation of FCC rules. I finally had to ask for them to remove my phone number from their contact list. The manager assured me I wouldn't be contacted again, and I have not. However, I don't want to go back because I don't want to start that cycle again, and how are they going to let me know when my car is done if I can't give them my phone number? What does it mean when you can't trust a business to treat your contact information with respect? It means you don't go back. More

This dealerships is a JOKE I had my car towed up to Clay Cooley Nissan of Dallas on LBJ because it wouldn't start. Got in it one Friday morning to go to work. Pushed the botton I had my car towed up to Clay Cooley Nissan of Dallas on LBJ because it wouldn't start. Got in it one Friday morning to go to work. Pushed the botton to start it , dash lit up but car would not start. After pushing the button several times, I couldn't get the car to turn off (dash would not go off) . I had to be at work so took another car and left my Maxima with dash lit up or I guess you can call it "on" but not running mode. Needless to say when I got home 8-9 hours later car is off and battery drained. Car is towed to Nissan Saturday morning. Monday morning Service Advisor calls and says the battery is down! I'm like are you kidding me! I told you on Saturday the reason for the battery being down. That is not the cause of the initial problem. Advisor proceeds to tell me that they can't tell me what's wrong with the car because they can't get it started! I swear to you I'm not lying. You mean to tell me that Nissan doesn't have a battery they can put on my car to aide in diagnostics? You " Nissan" a multi billion dollar corporation doesn't have a battery? Are you not a car dealership?? I tell the advisor" sir I just purchased a new battery 8-9 months ago.. Have you tried to charge the battery?" Do you not have a battery you can put on the car? That way we know for sure it is the battery ( maybe bad cell or something- I'm grasping at straws here). The advisor says " We don't have test batteries here. The best I can do is take your battery off your car. You come pick it up, take it back to NTB have them give you new battery. We can then diagnose your car". "Oh and by the way, I'll have to charge you a $20 labor charge for battery removal". Ok, you are charging me $135 for initial diagnostics, now add $20, because you can't diagnose it because it won't start because it potentially needs a battery? What's the $135 for.? My thought is you puta battery on the car, you say, " Hey we diagnosed your car, it was the battery, it's $135 , if you would like to purchase a battery from us it's another ..uh $125 so, total cost to repAir car is $260 . Or bring us $135 and take the battery you have back to NTB". I had to go up there, get my battery take it to NTB get a loaner battery, take it back to Nissan.. Awaiting diagnostics.i will never ever use Clay Cooley Nissan of Dallas again. More

Worst Service (to be fair, it has recently improved**) I purchased a new Maxima and had to have Cooley replace my battery 4 times in 3 years. They kept the car 9 days and couldn't find the problem. The o I purchased a new Maxima and had to have Cooley replace my battery 4 times in 3 years. They kept the car 9 days and couldn't find the problem. The only reason I got my car back after 9 days was because I called and asked if it was ready and they said I could come get it but they can't find the problem. They tried to tell me that the reason my AC changed from floor vent to face automatically, the only reason my display shut off, the only reason my dash lights changed on their own....was because the sensors on the dash that determined it was night must be faulty. Yet, they never replaced them, they just kept my car 9 days and did nothing. Three(3) Batteries later, and I replaced the car. I love Nissan, and they make good cars, sometimes cars have problems...but this dealership is VERY poorly run. The sales staff are excellent, why not, their pay depends on it. The service department is horrible...why, because they get paid for repairs...the more they do, the more they make, but they are terrible at repairing your car. One day, while sitting in the service waiting area (averaged 1-2 hours for an oil change), a salesman went person to person, trying to get them to trade in their car and to buy from him. That infuriated me, you NEVER use a captive audience to sell cars...I will NEVER buy from Cooley again...horrible leadership and service. More

Turnaround I purchased my 2014 Nissan Maxima New from Clay. Since the addition of Lionel Valdez, I think the service manager, the level of service increased dra I purchased my 2014 Nissan Maxima New from Clay. Since the addition of Lionel Valdez, I think the service manager, the level of service increased dramatically, from close to nothing to impeccable. Even the attitudes of the other employees I have encountered is totally different and impressive. My last visit for my 5000 mile oil change, the service attendant was warm, funny, and pleasant and Mr. Valdez addressed me by name. This level of impeccable service has added incredible value to me, and I now look forward to my next vehicle purchase from Clay Cooley Nissan. More

Over and above Service Manager I had just bought my 2014 certified pre owned 370Z at another dealer and dropped by Clay Cooley service about a tire light to set up an appointment. I had just bought my 2014 certified pre owned 370Z at another dealer and dropped by Clay Cooley service about a tire light to set up an appointment. They would not hear of me setting an appointment and took the car in right away to reset the light. After getting the car home I detailed it and found a bad window seal and a plastic paint protector that had discolored. I drove back to Clay Cooley and asked them about those items. The service manager Kevin came over and immediately stated " I will order them and give you a call when they come in"...NO HASSELS, NO COMPLAINTS....just "Ill order the parts". Kevin personally called me a few days later to say the parts were in and could I bring the car in (as early as that day). So I took the car over right away, and dropped it off, they even gave me a ride home. When I went back to pick up the car they had even fixed a minor rattle I had mentioned in my first visit (they kept it in the records). I cannot say enough about this service department. I have rarely gotten this kind of service and personal attention from any of my previous dealerships. I have definitely found a home for the servicing of my car. If I could have given Kevin 10 stars that would still not be enough to say how high I rate this service department. More
