Nissan Service, The Way It Should Be

Took the Patrol down to the local Nissan Dealer this morning with no appointment or warning, to have an engine noise checked out (see earlier post from yesterday). After a short wait in the service department lobby I was told that someone from the workshop would be out shortly to investigate. The tech had a quick listen and was still not certain where the noise was coming from so he took the wagon out to the workshop where they did some further diagnosis. He came back and told me that the belt tensioner bearing had gone and if they had the required parts in stock they would fix it while I waited, quickly adding "under warranty of course". Three quaters of an hour later I'm driving out of Kerry's Nissan in Darwin with a new belt tensioner, new drive belt, a very quite engine bay and a very satisfied look on my face. Well done Kerry's, keep up the good service.
