My dealer kicks ass.  They are so nice up there and they do great work.  Every saturday, they host a big barbeque for anyone in town who wants to go.  You dont even have to have a nissan!  How are your nissan dealers?

There is this one dealer that is walking distance from my place (about 50 yds), anyway that place is messed up.  The service guys don't know a damn thing and the parts guys are on ass status...they also give me a price quote on parts that are much higher then the catalog or another dealership.

However, about 20 miles away there is another dealership I go to.  Service and tech guys no there stuff and give you a good price on any service done to your car.  The parts guy is cool....real cool.  He is laid back, know his stuff and is planning on swap the FWD SR in his sentra (B-14).  Plus this guy is giving me wholesale pricing on parts i need for the kouki conversion...$1224 is all I need while that other dealership was asking for $1100 for just half of the car.

I worked at Toyota and the parts dept. sucked. The local Nissan parts dept sucks also. Mazda's ok but at least they get the parts fast and on time.

Around where I live Mike Palone Nissan is a pretty nice dealership.... well mainly the parts department. Some of the guys that work there know a good amount about se-r's except for this one guy who doesn't give the serca discount.

I'm not sure how nice they are at the Nissan dealer close to my house, I've never really been there. &nbsp;But there is one about 20 minutes away that is pretty sweet. &nbsp;I went up there to get a new master key and the salesman saw my 240 and was in awe because he hadn't seen one in years. &nbsp;He was pretty cool and said if I had any questions or if I just wanted to test drive something to come back. &nbsp;Hmmmm, maybe next time I'm at home I'll go drive a 350Z. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Hey...which dealership is this? &nbsp;Hubler? Collins? Tom Wood? I used to deal with Hubler quite often, and they've always been really helpful. &nbsp;I've gotten a few parts from Collins, so I don't know much about them, except the OEM spark plugs I got there were like 7 bucks a piece instead of the 15 most dealers quote. &nbsp;I haven't dealt too much with Tom Wood, but I know one of the sales people at Tom Wood VW (that's where the Nissan parts dept is too), and they're always real helpful.

On the other hand, Kendrick Nissan here in Lafayette can kiss my hairy bean bag...Only thing I go there for is to find out part numbers if I can't find them elsewhere. &nbsp;They're always charging MORE than retail for parts, and most of the people there don't know jack shiet...Just a word of advice...keep away from Kendrick's...it's worth the trip to Indy.

The nissan dealer that replaced the brake pads and tires on my gf's altima torqued the wheels so tight that with an 18" torque wrench I couldn't bust any lugs free. &nbsp;Took it to my friend's shop with a ghetto impact wrench and loosened half of them. &nbsp;The rest came off with the ultimate torque tool. &nbsp;A 1/2 socket wrench with a 5' pole off the end of it. &nbsp;They came off pretty easy with that piece. &nbsp;Needless to say if she ever had a flat, she would have been pretty screwed.

Speaking of Nissan dealership, I just got back from one a moment ago.
Had to order a 'LID-CLUSTER', I got tired of trying to find it at the junk-yard.
I tried the parts' site online but all of them tried to sell that bisal trim plate with the whole dash!
Oh well, the part department guys at my place is pretty cool also.
I didn't know that freaken part was called a 'LID-CLUSTER';
and to think I was calling a bisel all this time.
Well, it is the bisel trim plate but I guess Nissan doesn't call it that. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

Future Nissan in Roseville, CA is the best dealer I've been to. &nbsp;Their service guys are enthusiasts, and always know me when I come in. &nbsp;The last time I was there, they said "Next time you're here, we'll have to get some seat time in the new Z!" <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Those guys rock. &nbsp;The only thing I dislike about the new Z is that it will steal some of my thunder when I roll up in my 98 SE 5spd. &nbsp;There's still more Z's on the road than MCS14's I guess &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

How nice is MY Nissan dealer? &nbsp;

Let me tell you how nice Marty Kendrick Nissan of Lafayette Indiana is.... &nbsp; It's such a nice place, I want to set it on fire and piss on the ashes! &nbsp;Fucking WORTHLESS SON OF A BITCH. &nbsp;I hate that place with a passion. &nbsp;Company ethics generally come from the top down, so the problems with these people can be traced to Marty himself.. He's a cocky prick, and I hope he gets aids. &nbsp;

Anyway, just FYI lol
