The first time I walked in everyone greeted me with a smile and made me feel good with them as a whole. I dealt with Rueben Parra my salesman and Chris the Sales Manager/Finance. Rubén listened to what I wanted in a car, and Chris was exceptional as well. They went above and beyond, I purchased the 2015 Nissan Rogue Select in the showroom with leather heated seats etc. Rueben went through the whole vehicle with me helped me unload my car etc. He and Chris were gentlemen through and through. And to top it off I didn't have to haggle with Chris to get a great price as the price was lower when I went to pick iy up than what we agreed the night b4. He even told me how to go about getting money back from the previous car! Very happy, so happy that my fiance is also buying a car through them this week! Also was taken over to service and met everyone there, their amenities are out of this world! So happy to be out of the Honda and in my brand new Nissan! I'm a CountyLine Nissan girl for life! You will be treated like an old friend. I'm so glad I went. More

New Car Nightmare I am 69 years of age and should have brought my son with me as a witness. He was working at the time I stopped in curious if I could lower my car pay I am 69 years of age and should have brought my son with me as a witness. He was working at the time I stopped in curious if I could lower my car payments. I came in with a 2011 Nissan Altima Hybrid with 38K mileage. Low mileage and in immaculate condition. My reason was to trade down for a lower car payment and a Sentra with a blue tooth and cruise control. Nothing out of the extraordinary and nothing fancy. Sal DiGrazzio took me out in a car that had the Blue Tooth and cruise control on the steering wheel. When I came to pick up my car, which was brought in from another location, it had blue tooth on the front ceiling area, but NO cruise control. I overpaid for a car with nothing, it was an automatic but stripped with the BARE essentials. 1. The car was dirty, dusty not washed and not cleaned as I was promised. Sal told me the car would be cleaned and ready. 2. The car had no cruise control, I was devastated and luckily I did not have a heart attack, but did have an anxiety attack. Sal gave me a dirty look (like oh no, here we go) but he lied about the car I test drove. It had those features on the steering wheel. I was falsely dominated by Sal who I understand is one of your managers. Why? Why would you have a manager that does NOT stand by his word? Why should I as a consumer buy under false pretenses and why do you have incompetent people selling Nissans? 3. He went through the vehicles performance so quickly; I had to read it over when I got home, which I usually do anyway to know where things are. Never took the time, very rushed. Maybe you should consider putting him back as a sales person, he is not a good manager. 4. I could not reach him on the phone and when I asked to speak with you, someone always intercepted the call and put either Sal or Adam on the phone. Speaking to the receptionist is a good idea to get the person you are calling and not someone else. I feel they were intercepting the call so that I wouldn’t talk to you and let you know what happened. I concluded they didn’t want me to contact you in any way, but there is the mail and email. I ended up picking my car up with the cruise control on the left side of the steering wheel like they added years and years ago. It is in the way of the turn signal. I wish they could take this car back and give me back my car. I hate the car as is and will be writing to the CEO of Nissan. It may never get resolved, but at least someone may read this and I can save that person the nightmare that I went through. More
Mike Bush was the most informative helpful salesman I've ever dealt with in my experience of car buying. He went over and beyond helping me get the car I want to be in. His knowledge of the process and I've ever dealt with in my experience of car buying. He went over and beyond helping me get the car I want to be in. His knowledge of the process and helping me get into a car that I want to get into was impressive! He was not only professional but very kind, friendly and courteous as well. I would always recommend Mike Bush to any of my family and friends who are considering buying a car. Mike Bush treated my mother and I like we were family and made the car buying experience amazing, comfortable and just easy. Mike Bush was extremely honest and also went out of his way to accommodate all my needs. I must be honest, thanks to Mike Bush and his and is amazing service, I will always go to Nissan for a car in the future. More
My husband and I have not bought a new car in 10 years. When we walked into the dealership we were greeted by Kevin who was very helpful and friendly. As we talked I noticed he was a person who actually When we walked into the dealership we were greeted by Kevin who was very helpful and friendly. As we talked I noticed he was a person who actually cared about us as a customer and not just a sale. I also noticed the other employees as they walked by us they acknowledged us by saying hello with a smile. We went to several dealerships and went back to Nissan because of the first impression Kevin and the staff made with us. He did not rush us to sign on the dotted line like the other dealerships. The 2013 Rouge we looked at on our first visit was sold and I asked Kevin if he could get one with the same features and color. And within a few days he had the same car but even with more features. Kevin went over every detail with us on the new car and answered all questions we had. I am not an easy person to persuade to buy a car but Kevin was patient with me even though he wasn't sure we would buy the car. I have worked in the customer service field for most of my life and I would recommend Kevin and the employees at Countyline for the best customer service at a dealership. More
I went to County Line Nissan to purchase a new Nissan Sentra. I was greeted by Jose, who sat down with me, took my information, and let me test drive a car on the lot. He was very polite and personable a Sentra. I was greeted by Jose, who sat down with me, took my information, and let me test drive a car on the lot. He was very polite and personable and was helpful in trying to locate a car for me that was the model I was interested in, the interior/exterior color I wanted, and had the 6-speed manual transmission I was looking for. After letting him know the price range I was looking to pay for a new Sentra S, the sales manager, Jeremy Shaw, came over and showed me some cars that I would be able to get within my budget. The car I decided on was at a dealership in NY, but Jose said that he would pick it up for me within the next couple of days and that I would have it within 4 days. Because the car was exactly what I wanted, I was willing to wait a few days for it. They told me they would just need to start the process by calling the NY dealership to initiate the "swapping" process. In order for them to know I was serious about making the purchase, they filled out a purchase order for me to sign with the car's VIN #, specs, etc. I also had to give a $1000 security deposit to hold the car. Jose said he would contact me the next day to give me a status on my purchase. First mistake-I walked out of the dealership without a copy of the purchase order I signed. I definitely learned my lesson. The next day, I get a call from Jose telling me that they were having some issues swapping, but that I should be getting the car very soon. It made me a little nervous to know that this "swap" wasn't going smoothly, but he assured me he would call me the next day and let me know what was happening. The next day came around, and I never received a call from Jose. I called right before closing time and was told by Jose that he and his sales team were trying to find a car from yet another dealership that the NY dealership would accept in the swap. I didn't realize it would be such an issue to get this car from NY so I asked Jose, "I'm definitely going to get THAT car from NY that I wanted though, right?" His response was," Yes, absolutely, we're working for you." The next day (day 3) I get a call from Jeremy Shaw (the sales manager). He tells me that the car I put a deposit on in NY was actually already sold. This is what I was afraid of, and what didn't make sense to me was, wouldn't they have known the car was already sold by day 1 or 2?? Although I was really disappointed, Jeremy assured me he would find another car for me that had the same features I wanted. He asked me what my second choice color was since the one I wanted was hard to find. I let him know that I didn't really have a second color choice because I knew what I wanted, but I figured I should be a little more flexible, so I told him I would settle for the Sentra S in blue. He ended up calling me back shortly to tell me he had a car coming to his lot (how convenient for him) that was just like the one I wanted except that it was in blue. I had mixed feelings about this because I was really set on buying the car in the dark grey color. I figured I was spending a lot of money on a brand new car, so I should be able to get it just the way I wanted it. Jeremy texted me pictures of the car that came in the lot. Besides being the same model as the original car I wanted, it was nothing like the other one. The interior color was beige instead of black, automatic transmission instead of manual, no trunk compartment like the other one, and no splash guards (which he later told me he would install). I had a weird feeling about the whole situation...something just felt fishy, so I decided to call the NY dealership to make sure the car I wanted to buy was actually sold. Guess what? It wasn't. It was still sitting in their lot. At this point I was angry because I was being lied to. I called up Jeremy and told him that I didn't want the blue car and that I just wanted my security deposit back. He was all confused and didn't understand why I was saying I didn't want the blue car after I had told him I'd come down to look at it. I explained to him that I know the car in NY was in fact NOTsold and I didn't want to do business with a dealership that was not trustworthy. He told me that the NY dealership must have lied to him and that I couldn't get my security deposit back, he would find me another car. At that point I wanted out. They couldn't get me the car I signed the purchase order for and I thought they were being dishonest, so I just wanted to get my money back and never deal with County Line Nissan again. After another day or two of talking to Jeremy over the phone and insisting I get my security deposit back, he continued to tell me I couldn't. I proceeded to ask him for a copy of the contract that I signed, and he wouldn't provide me with that either. I asked to speak to the owner of the dealership and Jeremy said that he would relay my information to the owner. I ended up going down to County Line Nissan that night, since I never got a call back, to get a copy of my contract (which I'm entitled to by law) and get this situation straightened out. The owner wasn't there, but Jeremy was. When I asked him for a copy of the purchase order I signed, he told me it was locked in the owners office and he wasn't allowed to go in there. He told me I should have called before I came down. What a joke! I told him he could just give a blank purchase order so that I know exactly what I signed for. He said he didn't feel comfortable doing that. Then I said, well then if you can't even give me a copy of the contract, I want my deposit refunded. He said he couldn't do that either. He said I would have to wait for the owner to contact me the next day. I walked out of the dealership and was ready to contact the BBB, DMV, and attorney general's office in addition to my credit card company. THEY were the ones who broke the contract by not being able to get me the car with the VIN# I signed for, therefore it was null and void. I figured I would give it one last shot though, and wait until the next morning to see if the owner would call me and resolve the problem. The next afternoon, I received a voicemail from Patrick Bayliss apologizing for the situation and for the poor communication on their end. He said he would refund me my deposit. It's been a week since that voicemail and the refund showed up on my credit card statement. Luckily, there was one reasonable person in that place-or one who cared enough about the integrity of the dealership. I very much appreciate the way Patrick ended up handling the situation, but I wish it didn't have to be taken that far. The whole experience was terrible, ridiculous, and a waste of time. I ended up going to Middletown Nissan where I was treated with respect and got the car I actually wanted from their lot! More
I’ve come to the conclusion that Patrick Bayliss (Owner/VP) and the staff at County Line aren’t honorable people. I truly believe the dealership has royally screwed the people who purchased their Mi (Owner/VP) and the staff at County Line aren’t honorable people. I truly believe the dealership has royally screwed the people who purchased their Mitsubishi vehicles from your dealership… Especially, those people (me) who purchased their vehicles a month before you decided not to renew your Mitsubishi license… If you were honorable and truly concerned with your customer purchase satisfaction, you would have informed us what your plans were, so that we could have made a sound decision on whether or not to purchase the vehicles… I for one would have decided not to purchase the vehicles from County Line… Let me go on…. Upon finding out that County Line Mitsubishi dealership was closing their doors, I contacted your service manager and relayed to him my concerns. He assured me that County Line Nissan will honor all warranty service on Mitsubishi Vehicles purchase at County Line…. So, I called last week and made an appointment for the re-call and for a TPMS Service required light that appeared on my dashboard. Your service advisor gave me an appointment for the morning of 7/16/13. Upon arrival, I’m told that County Line no longer honors Mitsubishi warranty or service. I would have to contact a Mitsubishi dealership for the work to be done on my vehicle. Again, the customer gets screwed. "We been in business for five decades" is the standard response you get from County Line (Patrick Bayliss) to all customers who issue complaints about the sales and service received. I figured it out, It all comes down to location as to why County Line is still in business. we both know that if another Nissan dealership was to open their doors down the street from you, your dealership would be out of business in a matter of months. County Line sales and service has so many shortcomings, and it seemd to stem down from the senior management, (owner/VP).... Anyone who is considering purchasing a new or used vehicle, please to yourself a big favor and stay far away from County Line Nissan or Jocks, (across the street)... More
I had a great experience with the used car dealer auto jocks. It was a pleasure to work with Stu who made the process informal which made it comfortable. Christine is great! She got the deal to go through jocks. It was a pleasure to work with Stu who made the process informal which made it comfortable. Christine is great! She got the deal to go through. I never had an experience at a dealer where the person in finance invite you into their office unless it was time to sign the papers!
