I am surprised that OP had a problem at Fontana Nissan. Of all the dealers I would have thought they had the best service and his situation is surprising. I personally had a good experience at West Covina for a warranty issue but no way in hell would I let a dealer touch any of my cars if it's not a warranty issue.
The last time I went to a dealer in my Z I went for a last second oil change and they put oil all over my engine bay. I cannot trust them to follow directions if their work is that sloppy.
Now I have a local mechanic who I know very well and I can trust to do things right the first time and anything he can't do I go to Corner 3 Garage. There is a very common misconception that you need to take a new car to the dealer or a car that is still under warranty but as long as you keep your records you will still are covered. Don't listen to anyone that says you MUST go to the dealer
My car is also too low and modded to take to a dealer at this point anyway so I don't even bother.
That's just my opinion after owning a Z for the last 10 years..
