Joe Machens Nissan

We were very pleasantly surprised when we went to Machens in search of a new car. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and all of our questions were answered and we were provided with sufficient informa in search of a new car. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and all of our questions were answered and we were provided with sufficient information to make a decision to buy. We agreed upon a difference which we would be willing to pay, and an appropriate deal was formulated by the staff and accepted as presented. No hassle at all. We were treated very well and truly appreciated both Matt's and Carl's work to satisfy our concerns. We will certainly recommend Joe Machens' Nissan to any friends in the market for a new car. We are very satisfied with both the car and the deal More

This was our second purchase from Machens Nissan in Columbia. Our complete purchase experience could not have been more positive. We had made contact online and by phone receiving information making us Columbia. Our complete purchase experience could not have been more positive. We had made contact online and by phone receiving information making us believe it was worth repeating the drive from Kansas City to Columbia. When we parked in the lot we were greeted by a smiling polite employee who directed us inside (even held the door). The negotiation process was very straight forward (none of the pricing games played behind closed doors you sometimes experience). Jonathan Barfield had our new Altima thoroughly cleaned inside and out, our plates installed and then sat with us in the car to set up the Bluetooth phone system and explained in great detail how all the systems operated. I have recommended this dealership to many people and will continue to do so. More

I don't feel that were given complete honesty at this dealership. We drove almost 4 hours to visit this dealership and look at two used vehicles in particular. I had spoken with Scott Glasgow by phone th dealership. We drove almost 4 hours to visit this dealership and look at two used vehicles in particular. I had spoken with Scott Glasgow by phone the day before about the used vehicles we were interested in. I was told over the phone that he wanted to try and sell me a new vehicle instead. When we arrived we were told that both of the used models had already sold that day and we were immediately shown a new model. After having to go back and forth on price and payments we were eventually told that the used vehicle that we originally had called about had not actually sold, but were now told that it was at the sales manager's house. After finally agreeing on a price & payment we left the dealership with a new vehicle and a feeling that we had received a good deal. However, on the following Monday I received an e-mail from John Milletics at this dealership. He apparently wasn't aware that we had purchased a vehicle at this dealership. He stated in the e-mail that they were taking $12,000 off of the model that we purchased. I then proceeded to e-mail our salesman Scott Glasgow to ask him why were weren't offered this deal and his response was that it was only for a 2012 model they had with hail damage. I didn't believe that to be true based off of the e-mail from Mr. Millitecs. It was at this time that I realized that the folks at Joe Machens Nissan had not been honest with us on more than one occasion. The vehicle itself has had to be in the shop already for a back window that came loose from the assembly it was attached too. I also have to have more warranty work done on the passenger door where the weather stripping has come loose and is resulting in loud wind noise while driving. Ultimately I am not satisfied with my experience with the vehicle or the dealership. I left there with a new car and a good feeling but that feeling quickly changed. More

This was my first experience in purchasing a used car from Joe Machens Nissan and it was a positive one. We had made contact online and received an email from James. When we arrived we were greeted kindl from Joe Machens Nissan and it was a positive one. We had made contact online and received an email from James. When we arrived we were greeted kindly and not hassled. We set down with James and went over again what we were looking for, he even had the vehicles we were interested in waiting for us to test drive upon our arrival. We went over the vehicle in detail and I knew I had found the one I’d been searching for. The paperwork process was very smooth thanks to Eric. He made it quick and easy. Everyone that we came in contact with were very professional. I would recommend them and the dealership to anyone interested in buying a new or used vehicle. Thank you again, we love our GMC Acadia!

I LOVE LOVE my Murano, I LOVE service guys to your sales staff. Especially James !!! He listened to what I wanted and pulled it out the first time. I LOVE LOVE my Murano, I LOVE all the xtras,its so comfy to ride in and it drives like a dream. And did I mention James? Well I can't mention him enough. ( AND NO I'M NOT A RELATIVE ; / ) I do recommend Machens to every one I come in contact with.Its worth the drive to Columbia to get it serviced,and I also tell that to everyone. Where else can you take your car and not only get it serviced in a timely manner, AND they wash and vaccum it out ,they have totally spoiled me, I will not take it anywhere else.

I have never purchased a vehicle over the internet before. I found just the car I was looking on the Joe Machens intenet site. I contacted them by phone and Sage, the salesman picked up the ball. before. I found just the car I was looking on the Joe Machens intenet site. I contacted them by phone and Sage, the salesman picked up the ball. There were no pictures on the internet, so Sage took MANY photos and sent to me. He then went "to the top" in his dealership with my cash offer and closed the deal. Working over the past two weeks with this dealership has been a pleasure. I would ask Sage for maintenance records on the car...within half hour, I would have them in the email. The professional responsiveness of Sage made me gain confidence. He got me in touch with the business manager, Eric Highley, who sent all the paperwork in a timely manner to close the deal. My friends were encouraging me to buy a ticket to MO to test drive the car and not to buy it without "laying eyes on it." The amount of information, and the accuracy of the information gained enough confidence that I went forward with the cash deal just working with these two gentlemen on the phone and via emails and texts. When the car arrived, it was just as Sage had described, both in words and pictures sent to me. The followup AFTER the sale was just as professional as before the deal was signed. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this dealership to all customers (local and on the internet) that are considering a Nissan! These guys are great! More

From the minute I met Jonathan Barfield it seemed like we were old friends. He was cheerful and courteous. He had already taken the list of options that I was looking for on the Rogue and had found one tha were old friends. He was cheerful and courteous. He had already taken the list of options that I was looking for on the Rogue and had found one that met or exceeded all of them. Jonathan was always easy to contact and checked in on me during and after the sales process. He went over the entire car with me when I came to pick it up, making sure that I had a good working knowledge of the controls. The car was clean and shining like a new penny at the time of transfer. This young man truly knows what customer service really means. At no time did I feel rushed or pushed into a decision that I was not comfortable with. He is without a doubt someone that I would be proud to have on my team. More

I had researched the Versa, aas well as other makes and models similar to it. Because of gas economy, features, and pricing, Versa was my first choice so that's why I went to Joe Machen. When I arrived at models similar to it. Because of gas economy, features, and pricing, Versa was my first choice so that's why I went to Joe Machen. When I arrived at the dealership, I was met and greeted by Jonathan Barfield. I explained that at that time I was only interested in seeing if I felt comfortable in the Versa. He brought one over and offered a test drive, which I accepted. Due to a busy schedule and the fact that I was waiting on money for a down payment, I explained that I was not ready to buy yet, but would be back in touch. A few days later he followed up with an email, and said when I was ready, feel free to contact him. Once everything was in place on my end, I contacted Jonathan by e-mail and he helped in every way he could to get the deal going on the specific car I wanted, even willingly changing once I found the car I test drove was still available. We corresonded through several e-mails and I asked to have a specific car held until I could get there on 6-29-13. He even supplied the VIN number, so I could arrange to have insurance, since I picked it up on a Saturay, and was turning around the next day to go on a short vacation. When I arrived on 6-29-13, Jonathan had everything in place, including temp tags, so I was in and out and on my way quickly. He was very professional in every manner, quickly and courteously responding to emails, answering all my questions. Never at any time did I feel any pressure to buy beyond my means, features I didn't want, or buy a more expensive vehicle. It was all on my terms. I would recommend him and the dealership to anyone interested in a Nissan, even though it is 2 hours away. More
