Lies and More Lies I have a 2009 Nissan Rouge. I purchased it new at Wallace. I have always had it serviced at Wallace. I took the car in for service in March, 2018. I I have a 2009 Nissan Rouge. I purchased it new at Wallace. I have always had it serviced at Wallace. I took the car in for service in March, 2018. I told them I had a leak on the driver's side. They told me the axel boot on the passenger side was busted and I needed a new axel. I trusted the dealership and had the repair done costing approx. $750. A few months later, my car was still leaking in the same spot. So, I took it back. Was told it was residual grease. A few months later, it was still leaking in the same spot. Was told the same thing and given a free oil change. On 12/20 I took it back for service and told them there was still a leak. This time, while in the waiting lounge, I was told the transfer case was leaking oil, and it would be $1,150 plus tax and an 8-hour repair. When I checked out, I was told if the transfer case were to go dry, it would lock the engine up, and the repair would be a 2 day job. After I got home, I had more questions. So I called the service manager, Janice Malcom. She told me that the seal between the transfer case and the transmission was leaking and the car was leaking transmission fluid. I felt my car was unsafe for my 2 children to ride in. Since the technician said the car was leaking oil from the transfer case, and the service manager said it was a seal leaking transmission fluid, it raised a red flag. We reached out for a second opinion and talked with multiple mechanics. My Rogue is Front Wheel Drive and does not even have a transfer case. The leak was coming from an axel seal. The same axel that Wallace replaced. The leak has been in the same spot since March 2018. I seriously doubt that my car ever needed a new axel since it didn't fix or change the leak. More

They cared more re about putting us in something that for our need and budget versus the amount of profit they would make! Was impressed that Vann thanked us for visiting and made sure we were taken care of. More

When I was greeted by Gabriel VanNoy he made me feel at ease. I told him what I was looking for and what I don't really want. He showed me a 2017 Rogue and I brought it. Everyone at the dealership made this process so easy for me. I like to thank everyone for the way I was treated with respect and honesty. Gabriel help me so much for showing me about the car and a lot of things has changed since 2006. More
