We purchased my very first car from this Nissan 10 years ago (prior to them moving down the street) and just last year I purchased a new Murano. In the past year, service has changed & it’s TERRIBLE. They lie, they scam, and you should take your business elsewhere. Oil changes have taken 2+ hours, even with an appointment, and the most recent visit was very unsettling. Originally, we brought the car in because the lift gate was not opening & so we also included an oil change when we made the appointment. After 2 1/2 hours of waiting, we were told that “a blanket or shirt was stuck in the lift gate and we took care of it today but next time we’re going to charge you”, and that there was a recall on the ABS system. I folded back the seats to get into the trunk when it wouldn’t open, so I knew when he said there was something stuck, that was most likely a lie. I had a rental car for 2 weeks, while the ABS system was on back order (not necessarily the service departments fault) but I would’ve appreciated if someone would have called to let me know after days go by and I have no word on my car. Instead, I had to call them for updates. When I got my car back, my gas tank was on E, my car was dirty & there were 362 miles added to my car. Wow!!! I was in shock, I informed Richard of my gas, the dirt, and the miles & he said “when they put the ABS system in, it must have malfunctioned the mileage”... WHAT?? Being a woman, and not having my boyfriend with me at the time, I guess he thought I was going to believe that. He did not want to fill my gas tank back up, and continued to repeatedly lie and tell me the ABS system is was caused the increase in mileage. I was in shock! The service manager then came out to tell me Richard did in fact lie to me multiple times, thinking I was an idiot, and that it was the technician that “made a clerical mistake and wrote down the wrong mileage” when I arrived 2 weeks ago. Wow! They did end up doing a piss poor job of detailing my car to make up for it, but when hundreds of miles are added to your car after you leave it for service, that’s completely unacceptable. Needless to say, we will not be returning. And to make matters worse, 2 days after I got my car back the lift gate would not open again. I called the service manager, and 8 days later I’m still waiting for a call back from him. I took my Murano to the Nissan in Kennesaw, and they informed me that they needed to replace a part which was causing issues in lift gates and it’s covered under my warranty. Which of course, this Nissan location failed to recognize. Seems like more scamming considering Richard told me “next time it doesn’t open we’re going to have to charge you”. He did not replace the needed part, so he knew the lift gate would end up failing again, to which I would need to come back and he would charge me without informing me it was covered under warranty. Christian, a young guy working was very helpful & polite throughout the matter. It was meaningful that he even remembered my daughters name, because he helped us 2 weeks prior when I left the car and when I picked the car up.
