Nissan of Irvine

From the moment we walked on the lot, there was no pressure. We were met by the best and dealt with the best. Herbert was initally the one who wanted to give us the deal. He was willing to do whateve pressure. We were met by the best and dealt with the best. Herbert was initally the one who wanted to give us the deal. He was willing to do whatever we needed to get us in the price range we could afford. Herbert took us on two test drives of the Murano and the Rouge. Very willing to just make us comfortable and allowing us to take our time to make a decision. When stopping back at the dealership we were met with Alex who was also very helpful. He was honest and willing to show us a 2009 Murano so we could see the interior and how it was different from the 2010. After we left that night I went home and did my research. Since I'm a USAA member I was able to use their online car buying guide which allowed me to type in the model I wanted with all the amenities I was looking for and lock in a no haggle price. It referred me to OC nissan Irvine and the next morning Sam called me to try and make a deal. Our next visit we were met with Sam and Ken. Sam was one of the nicest GM's i've ever met. He knew the quote that USAA gave me, he personally took a look at my trade in, and set us up with Ken. Ken took us out on another test drive and he was so laid back. I would have to say with each Nissan employee that we came in contact with we definately felt like we knew them personally which made us feel apart of their family. Sam gave us a great deal on our trade in and a great deal on the price of the Murano. We have no complaint about this dealership. We had such a great experience that I want to find someone who wants a car so they can get a great price like we did. 200% satisfaction!!! If you are in the market for a Nissan, this is the dealership you want to deal with. More

Well, about seven months out of BK we needed to buy a truck. My wife and I decided on purchasing a Nissan Frontier (we were thinking new at the time), but we have had very little experience with Nissan d truck. My wife and I decided on purchasing a Nissan Frontier (we were thinking new at the time), but we have had very little experience with Nissan dealers. Years ago we tried a Nissan dealer in N. OC (near Knotts) and we wound up walking off the lot after having a verbal altercation with quite possibly the worst car salesman in the world. So clearly we weren't going back there. Fortunately we found this website, which led us to OC Nissan in Irvine. I was a bit skeptical at first, figuring many of the good reviews could have been written by the dealership. But it was the only information I had, so we picked up the phone and called Sam, the GM. I told Sam my situation (credit) and what I needed, and also told him that my wife is has a fair amount of industry knowledge (i.e. we knew what to expect as far as interest rate, down payment, etc., and that we needed a straight, no BS deal). Sam was great. Very friendly and straightforward, and no pressure. Good start! We gathered our documents and headed down to the dealer. Once there we met Sam, who hooked us up with Ken "The Doctor" Yates, their most experienced sales rep. Ken lived up to the reviews on this site. Friendly, knowledgeable, no pressure and no BS. Ken showed us some new Frontiers, but then suggested that we check out a used loss-leader type Frontier that only had 2400 miles. It was a perfect fit, and we saved around $6K or $7K versus a new truck. Nathan, the finance director, got us a very fair interest rate considering our recent CH7 discharge. Again, no pressure and no games. Bottom line: We left OC Nissan with a good deal on a good truck, with no pressure and no nonsense. Everyone was as friendly as could be, and we would gladly recommend this dealer. (...glad we found this website also...) More

My comments are for the service department. Over the years, I have always had high expectations of customer service of whom ever I have done business with. Unfortunately, at the age of 68 I have been di years, I have always had high expectations of customer service of whom ever I have done business with. Unfortunately, at the age of 68 I have been disappointed many times. Except for the folks in your service department. No matter how challenging or difficult the situation was at hand, they have always maintained a very high degree of professionalism, and the willingness to go to any lengths to take care of our Nissan. And to that extent, I always recommend to my friends, and business associates, young and old that your people can be trusted with their car. More

My fiancé and I went to OC Nissan Irvine recently to pick My fiancé and I went to OC Nissan Irvine recently to pick up my 350Z from the service department. I paid for the services and walked out to my car My fiancé and I went to OC Nissan Irvine recently to pick up my 350Z from the service department. I paid for the services and walked out to my car only to find that both of my license plates were MIA! I asked the guy that had just handed me the key where my plates were, thinking that perhaps someone removed them while performing the services. A few minutes later he returned with the service manager. We were asked if we drove in with plates on the car and I was seriously dumb founded…of course we did! Then we were told that since they weren’t doing any work on my car near either plate that there was no way that anyone there had removed them and that they must have been stolen off the lot and we’d have to go deal with it at the DMV. After experiencing the sheer frustration, a near heart attack (figuratively speaking) and dealing with the service department folks that at first didn’t appear overly helpful, I was angry and momentarily felt violated by the plate theft! I was completely disappointed in the lack of security and quick dismissal of fault. Then, just as we were about to get into a rental car that they ordered (since I couldn’t drive my car without plates!), someone from the front office came walking out with both plates. After a short discussion, it was determined that since there was an identical 350 Z that was headed to the “used” car lot that was also in for service, one of the mechanics had removed my plates, thinking it was the used car that was going up for sale. This ended up being a case of mistaken identity. Needless to say, OC Nissan Irvine was sincerely apologetic for their internal miscommunication. In fact, Denise, the service manager, was so empathetic with us regarding the immense amount of concern, emotional distress, and anxious anticipation that we felt, they bent over backwards to ease the anxiety. Ultimately, we all make mistakes and OC Nissan Irvine did an excellent job making it right with us and I will certainly be back to do business with them again. More

I went to Tustin Nissan and got the bait and switch sales tactic; called Connell and Irvine around noon on Thursday. Sam Klein (GM) answered, obtained information on the exact type of car I was looking for a tactic; called Connell and Irvine around noon on Thursday. Sam Klein (GM) answered, obtained information on the exact type of car I was looking for and called me back promptly with pricing info; in fact he called me several times as he was trying to locate the exact model I wanted. By 2:00PM he was ready for me to show up at the dealership to look at the car. As I was doing so, I got the first return call from Connell. By 3:30 I purchased my new red Z but Sam had to get it from a dealership in LA County. By 6 the car was on the lot and getting prepped for me to drive away that evening!! Sam and his staff was extremely helpful, professional, and friendly. Plain speaking and no hard sell tactics. He went out of his way to get me the car I really really wanted and he got that car to his lot promptly. A great experience, which doesn't happen often when buying cars, and I LOVE MY NEW RED Z!!! Thanks Sam and staff!! More

I have been to OC nissan before researching Nissan cars for purchase but i had just got frustrated with the amount of time I had to spend until I can get to the point that I came to the dealer ship for. for purchase but i had just got frustrated with the amount of time I had to spend until I can get to the point that I came to the dealer ship for. It seemed that I needed to know a different language to be able to get information about cars! A friend of mine gave me the contact number for a good car salesman he knew ,for consultation. He happened to be working in OC Nissan!. so I went back there to meet him. He was Ken Yates .He showed me the options I had according to my needs. He was patient,understanding and he didn't try to push me towards any directions .It seemed that no other language was needed to connect with him. He was simple and sure of what he said. He had enough knowledge and experience and he didn't waste any time on blind marketing. I entered the dealership at about 5.PM that day and by the end of the working day I had purchased the car. He actually changed my impression of the dealership and I will suggest any friend who is looking for a car to go to him. More

Over the course of 30 years, my husband and I have purchased more cars than we can count. (In fact, we have owned mostly Nissans with a few Acuras, BMWs and Lexus in the mix.) That being said, our r purchased more cars than we can count. (In fact, we have owned mostly Nissans with a few Acuras, BMWs and Lexus in the mix.) That being said, our recent experience at OC Nissan in Irvine was exemplary. Our sales person, Larry Freligh was wonderful to work with during the transaction. Normally, we detest the usual car purchasing experience. Larry was professional, courteous and responsive without being pushy or patronizing. He took care of everything and made this experience actually enjoyable. We told him what we needed to make the deal and he made it happen - no games, no rounds of "talking to the manager", no haggling. (We had done our home work online, but never needed to use the information - unlike another dealer with another brand the day before.) Then, we moved on to the typically dreaded "finance guy". We were in for another pleasant surprise. Nathan was also very professional and pleasant - making the paperwork seem like a breeze. Both Nathan and Larry made us feel that they appreciated our business and were happy to take care of us - we would recommend them both without hesitation. Overall, this experience far exceeds my past interactions with some of the "European luxury brands". I hope Larry and Nathan are still at OC Nissan in three years when my lease expires and I'm ready for my next car! More
