Service department doesn’t have a clue. I was not greeted upon arrival for my appointment. I had to leave my car and wait in line for an employee to acknowledge I was there. I receive I was not greeted upon arrival for my appointment. I had to leave my car and wait in line for an employee to acknowledge I was there. I received a text asking for my ok to proceed with repairs to the car door latch, I responded to proceed. That was the only communication I received from the dealership. Around 3:30 in the afternoon I called to inquire about my car only to find out my car was staying overnight while the part was scheduled for the next day. I was furious, and asked why I was not contacted about this. The response was, well someone should have called you. There was no offer of a loaner car, something that is advertised on the website. The next morning I called again and was told the part had arrived but there were several other cars ahead of me. Afternoon now and I called again, I was told they were working on my car. 3:30 I called asking for a shuttle to the dealership so I could collect my car when repairs were done. I waited from 3:30 to 5:15 outside of my company. This dealership is 2 miles away from where I work. Upon arrival at the dealership I was so exhausted and so ready to go home. Only I could not because a connection was not made for the outside button to release the latch. It was fixed within 25 minutes. I spoke with the Service Manager who apologised several times. He asked if he could make it right and I told him the truth, in business, rarely do you get a second chance to make a good impression. I will not be returning to this dealership for service. The only way I would ever return is when I see the two star rating on yelp go to four stars, only then will you get my business again! More
Not at all pleased with Mike Smith Nissan service department. They have had my Rogue for an entire week and have not done anything. It was just in for routine maintenance and an axle boot replacement department. They have had my Rogue for an entire week and have not done anything. It was just in for routine maintenance and an axle boot replacement. The lack of communication is unacceptable. Only updates I got is when I have called to check. Now it is on the rack disassembled and I am forced to leave it till completion. I will not return to this service department and will share my experience with friends and family. More
My salesman Austin listened to my needs and provided several options for me to choose from. We were able to come to an agreement on a used truck and pricing. several options for me to choose from. We were able to come to an agreement on a used truck and pricing. More

Three years ago, I gave Mike Smith Nissan Service Center a glowing 5-STAR Review (see below). Today, I have to change my review to 1-STAR. Its not just because of today’s service, but its the principle a glowing 5-STAR Review (see below). Today, I have to change my review to 1-STAR. Its not just because of today’s service, but its the principle and lack of trust from the folks working in the service center. Today I went in and asked for my normal oil change and “free tire rotation”, that was part of the “free tire rotation for life” purchase of 4 new tires a few years back. Ms Dawn was very professional and courteous and my car was completed within 45 minutes (a record time for them). After driving away, I determined that my tires were not rotated by observing my “in dash tire pressure display” knowing that my front right tire was at 40lbs and my front left tire was at 36lbs before I went in and that these same air pressure readings were still displaying after I left their Center. I knew these air pressure readings as I had just inflated all 4 of my tires a day earlier and looked at the display and knew I would need to deflate my front right tire back down to 36 soon so it was in line with the other 3 tires. After getting home, I looked carefully at my dirty, brake dust filled rims and also noticed there were no finger print, smears, images, etc., indicating that anyone had removed, rotated and replaced any of these tires. I texted Ms. Dawn and let her know what I discovered and my disappointment level. She replied back and said she spoke with the service tech and said the tires were rotated according to him, but offered to rotate them again if I brought my car back in (which I did not do). It’s not the tires getting (or not getting) rotated that bothers me, it’s the principle of the whole situation. This same thing happened to me once before (due to my suspicions) where I actually numbered my tires with a sharpie before asking them to be rotated and after completion, I discovered they were not rotated. The Service Manager at the time offered me an apology and a free oil change/tire rotation (which I never took advantage of), if I would just give them another opportunity to service my vehicle again. I purchased my vehicle there at Mike Smith and have had virtually all of my oil changes and services performed on it for the past 6 years or so. When it comes to being able to trust a service center to do the right thing, I have lost my trust in them. I shouldn’t have to be the one wondering if what I ask for and pay for and what my ticket actually says was performed on my vehicle was actually done or not. Even though the tire rotation was “free”, it should of been done as the ticket says it was. It would be one thing if the Service Center was packed, busy, and they informed me that they could not get to it, but it was not. I arrived around 2:00 in the afternoon and there was only one other customer there, who actually arrived after I was sitting there. When my car was completed, Dawn failed to give me my complimentary “multi-point inspection” report which they normally go over with me before I check out and pay. I asked about it and Dawn said she would e-mail it to me the next day (which was really odd). Well the next day came and I texted Dawn about lunchtime asking about my report (which shows it was performed on my ticket). She never replied until I texted her again around 5:00pm, and her response was that she has already sent it to me. I replied letting her know that I never received it and also sent her my correct email address, just in case she didn’t have it correctly. I never received a response. I honestly don’t believe Mike Smith Service Center performed the multi-point inspection that shows on my ticket that it was done. What else are they hiding and failing to perform when they write it on the ticket as being “completed”? It’s all about honesty and trust and this Service Center has failed me. They have gone from my hero’s to zeros in a few short years. 3 Years ago, I wrote this: Great experience this morning at Mike Smith Nissan. I went in for an oil change, came out with a fabulous deal on 4 much needed new tires. Amber informed me on the "Buy 3, Get one For a Penny" Tire Sale, then sweetened the deal by informing me about their current $70.00 Free Rebate with the purchase of 4 tires and then she even handled the entire rebate form and faxed it in for me - she rocks!! These folks also have "the best" cappuccino/latte/coffee machine in SE Texas, free coffee and snacks for all customers! More
Made an 11:00am appointment for oil change and tire rotation. Bad joke. The appointment is to check me in and then “there is at least a 2 hour wait”. Excuse me. You obviously do not understand the defi rotation. Bad joke. The appointment is to check me in and then “there is at least a 2 hour wait”. Excuse me. You obviously do not understand the definition of an appt. I asked “So I could have just driven in at 9:00 am and just waited with no appointment?” The answer was “unfortunately, yes”. What the heck! I have owned A Toyota, Honda, Jeep, Durango. Never have I ever waited over and hour for an oil change. It is now 1:09 and I am still waiting and my car has not been moved from where I parked it. Unacceptable! Nissan you can do better! Won’t be back More

After being asked multiple times (prior to the appointment by telephone) to wear a mask to my service appointment, I was shocked to find that this rule only applied to customers. The staff were al appointment by telephone) to wear a mask to my service appointment, I was shocked to find that this rule only applied to customers. The staff were all maskless behind their service desk. There were plexiglass barriers on each desk but I had to stand to the left of the barrier in order to receive paperwork and hand over my keys. In the waiting area, I saw a maskless mechanic talking to another masked customer loudly while leaning forward towards her. Masks only work well when everyone wears them. Dead customers can't buy cars so perhaps it best to try to protect your customers in addition to your staff. When I complained the staff "tried to make it right" but this many months into a pandemic it's too little too late. More
Unprofessional Service and Irresponsible Management Team After applying and being approved for auto financing online at Mike Smith Smith Nissan, I agreed to drive from 5 hours away to test drive and pick up After applying and being approved for auto financing online at Mike Smith Smith Nissan, I agreed to drive from 5 hours away to test drive and pick up my used car on 6/23/18. When I arrived in Beaumont on 6/23/18, I was quoted the car's price and told that the car needed to be sent to Houston for a week for repairs at a major dealership. I agreed to return to test drive and pick up the car on 6/30/18. When I returned on 6/30/18, the salesperson told me that repairs were made to the car's braking system and the car would cost me an extra $2,000. I agreed. When I got into the Finance office, I requested as much GAP coverage as possible. Instead of the Finance Manager maximizing the coverage requested, he bundled a lower GAP coverage with two other warranties I was not interested in and told me that the GAP coverage I wanted was not available. When I looked at my paperwork later, I discovered that he only gave me the first page of each warranty agreement. I sent certified mail to two of the warranty providers to cancel the coverage, so that I could buy my own after-market warranties. The two providers refunded my money to the dealership as of 7/30/18. As of 8/20/18, the dealership has failed to remit the warranty refunds to my auto loan lien-holder. Additionally, on 8/16/18, a title representative from Mike Smith Nissan called me and said that my vehicle plates would not be ordered unless the car was inspected. It's not legal to sell a car without having a state inspection performed on the vehicle. My temporary plates expire on 8/29/18. I went into a Group1 dealership on 8/17/18 to have the car inspected, and the dealer advised that the car was probably not inspected for mechanical issues if the state inspection was not completed. I have been advised that the repairs to the braking system on the car will be costly. Additionally, I have been advised to retain legal counsel as Mike Smith Nissan has broken several laws and regulations of warranty agreements during this transaction. This is the worst experience ever. More
