Jose went over everything that had been done on my car and explained to me the recommended services that it would need to be done in the future. Thank you again for your time and your patience as I know very little about cars. You have a great team in the service department and I would definitely come again to have my car serviced at your location. More

AVOID this dealership at all costs I had an extremely miserable experience at this service center - and the worst part is that not one Nissan employee seemed to care. Long story short.. I had an extremely miserable experience at this service center - and the worst part is that not one Nissan employee seemed to care. Long story short... I usually have my vehicle serviced in Boston, a place that I trust. I had to go to this Germantown location because my wheel started shaking and needed an alignment before my trip back to Boston. I dealt with a woman (Rosa) at the service desk who was completely incompetent - she would tell me that she would call me in 1 hour and, 3 hours later, I had to call her to figure out what was going on. This happened several times throughout the day. She gave me pricing that was inaccurate (based on the service coupon that I had) and simply said "ok" when I told her that her pricing did not reflect the coupons online. She called later that day to tell me that my rotars needed to be fixed (despite recently being told by the Nissan in Boston that I had 5-6,000 miles before I needed to change my brake pads and the lack of crunching that would indicate damage). They also told me that I needed 4 new tires (also news to me). After getting several different pricing estimates from Rosa, I called that night to speak to someone more knowledgeable. Matthew Tait spoke with me and my father for 30 minutes and explained everything - even double-checked the tires - which made me feel more comfortable. Said that they couldn't sand down the brake pads (not sure why) and needed to replace the rotars and all 4 tires. We said that we would prefer to replace two tires (since we checked the others and they were ok) and he convinced us to change all 4, stating that he would apply the 20% coupon to the entire service and that the total would be a certain amount. We explained that we did not want to pick up the car the next day and have the price change yet again - he reassured us that it would be that exact amount, that he would have Rosa call to apologize in the morning, and let me know when the car was done (and washed with the complimentary car wash that I asked for 5 times). He said that he understands our situation because there have been precious complaints about Rosa (RED FLAG). I hung up and woke the next day to no phone call or apology. Only hours later did I find out that my car was ready. I picked it up and they charged me $76.78 MORE than the amount that he promised the previous night! We argued it with Matthew Tait and he said that he did not have the authority to change the amount. Then he should not have promised a certain amount the previous night! We asked to speak with a manager and there was none. Cherry on top was that my car was not washed! They said that the car wash was closed on Saturday (then they should have thought ahead and done it on Friday when they initially said my car would be ready!). I called the service director and he never called back, instead having someone below him contact me. I even called the week later to ask for the complimentary car wash and they said (once again) that the car wash was closed. This time.... because of cold weather. So ultimately I was pushed to pay for more tires that I wanted to be replaced, I paid much more than I was promised, dealt with an awful service employee who could not give me consistent pricing, and never did receive the complimentary car wash after spending almost $1,000 for what should have been merely a wheel alignment. I have never had a worse experience at a service center and will tell everyone I know to avoid this place at all costs!!! More
Organized and Knowledgeable Service Matthew explained to be the services that are required during my express service visit. He also explained to me the priority of recommended services, Matthew explained to be the services that are required during my express service visit. He also explained to me the priority of recommended services, and the impact of not getting them done (without fear mongering). He was sincere, and understood that customers don't just have hundreds of dollars at their disposal. Because he understood that, he explained the priority. So I feel even more comfortable about what's next, and at the same time am saving up for what comes after that since I have visibility of required services down the pike. More

Service of my 2009 CUBE I brought my Cube in for the 120,000 mile service. I was quoted $750 for the service with the CVT transmission fluid change. I called Nissan Darcars I brought my Cube in for the 120,000 mile service. I was quoted $750 for the service with the CVT transmission fluid change. I called Nissan Darcars and they gave me a price of $565. So I called Crisswell back to cancel my service appt. They came back to me and dropped their price to $562.73. I also asked them to check on the horn since it wasn't working. After the 120K service was done I was told that the catalytic converter was shot. I was given a price for that service of $1,627. I asked if that was the best price and the service advisor got a 15% discount on all the service. I asked again about the horn. I was told that the spiral cable was severed and she would see if the break could be soldered by the technician. She said that would be done at no charge. When the final service was over I asked if the horn was working and she said no, it wasn't a break in the cable. She said that the service technician told her that there was an electrical problem. So my total bill came to $1,868.27 still having an electrical problem and the horn not working. When I got home I looked at the Multi-Point Inspection report. The very first item on the report is "HORN OPERATION". That box was checked on the green area. The legend on the report shows that the green area means that it was checked and OK at this time. I called and asked my service advisor about this and she put me on hold to check with the service technician. She came back and said he apologized because he rushed through the inspection in order to get to the next car and had checked that by mistake. I asked if he rushed through the inspection did he also rush through the service work in order to get to the next car. This whole situation just put a bad taste in my mouth with Criswell Nissan. I purchased my car at this dealer back in March of 2010. I love my car but I will never purchase another car from Criswell or have a vehicle serviced at Criswell again.

I took it to a local small shop in Germantown who replaced the engine and put all the components that made it fail right back on. Needless to say I drove the car less than 100 miles before it failed again. I figured I'd take it to Nissan to see what they could do for me. Nissan advised me to have diagnostic testing done. Service manager Andy, set me up with a loaner car while I was out of a vehicle. He helped me find a great replacement motor and a great price. All work done with a warranty and by official Nissan parts and technicians, and for less money than the original local clown who got over on me. More
