bouquet for nissan

Mate where was that? Last service I had done they tried to charge me $275.00. As I am paying I ask for a detailed account of the work done, could not do so and immediately knocked $95.00 off. I don't mind saying that was in Wodonga!

Sounds like you had a good deal hence your post!

Cheers

grand nissan adelaide, they also only charge 1 cent for oil, yes 1 cent.

B@#$%#@t
Get it in writing and then I'll believe something Nissan say.

Got a very good service done by Nissan at Coffs Harbour on my 4.2 turbo, but the most expensive ever was the major service at Giant Nissan in Osborne Park, which was over $1100, and that was with no extras, just the book service. (and that was a two or three years or so back).
Took my breath away!

Oil filters??? AH! the ones made in taiwan.

Fuel filter? OOPS.

Change oil?

Never changed filters without changing oil in my life!!.

Great Nissan service, Next we'll hear about one blowing up!!.

Remember this is not Nissan Service at all.

Nissan are pathetically bad at delivering consistent service through their dealers.

They have a small number of very large dealers - Grand Nissan being one of two in SA, and a large number of pathetically small dealers. Further, each of these businesses has better or worse service levels and competencies, and are capable of negotiating with Nissan or not as the case may be. To make matters more variable, Nissan give their service managers in the field a high degree of autonomy and they make their own call on the questions thrown at them on warranty issues, by Nissan dealers on behalf of their customers.

Remember, it is Nissan who owe you the warranty service, if you have a warranty problem. Don't accept a crap answer as the final word until you have had it out with Nissan service manager (not the Dealer Service Manager) and with Nissan head office, if need be.

Don't attribute a good driveway service / lube experience to Nissan - it is a dealer initiative entirely - that said, hopefully it does point to a knowledge of what is acceptable and if you ever have a need, you might have a competent dealer pressing the Nissan people to have you looked after with your warranty problem.

Same can be said for any manufacturer, although Ford and Holden are mostly big dealerships with a lot of power. Toyota is somewhere in between.
