Chantilly's your best bet IMO...very accommodating. Also, state inspections are free for all Nissans there (just found out today, who knew?)

When I was car shopping last year, Brown's lost my business to Chantilly Nissan for two reasons.

1) They wouldn't play ball on price negotiations
2) Chantilly's entire service department was pristine and the folks there are very helpful.

The free state inspections for life is certainly a good bonus too :tup:

I had the opposite experience with Brown's vs Chantilly when buying. Chantilly sales thought I was stupid... "We'll give you 15K for your trade in, and charge you 39K." ...no "Well how bout 12K for your trade in, and charge you 36K." ...sigh

Service is a different story though.

Ask for Dan too...he seems to be the most knowledgeable when it comes to Zs and GT-Rs there.

Hi Guys, i am new to the Z community. it sounds like i will be taking my car to Chantilly for service. question though. do they offer free state inspection even if you didn't buy from them?

btw Chantilly's sales folks are really really bad. they assume all their buyers were under a rock.

Yeah, Dan actually does some racing on the side. Really nice guy and knows his stuff about everything they service.

Welcome dude!

The free state inspections are only for those who purchased their car from Chantilly Nissan. One of the perks I guess you could say.

I agree that their sales people assume you don't know squat about the car. Luckily I was dealing directly with the sales manager there when I bought mine, so I didn't have to hear:

Sales: You know this car has stability and traction control right?
Me: Yes. That's what this little VDC button is for.

Sales: So, what do you think of the all new chassis?
Me: Well, its the same chassis as the 08+ Altima, so it's okay for being 3+ years old

:facepalm:

No problem! I don't know how many folks are meeting up at the Fair Lakes Starbucks tomorrow morning, but I'll probably be there tomorrow :tup:

I got mine at Brown's and they gave me a free inspection at Chantilly...*shrug*, I get all my service there, so maybe they think I bought it there? Either way, can't hurt trying; I think VA rates are pretty standard at the dealerships so no use shopping around (unless you want to try out some clipper coupon at a gas station...I wouldn't recommend it)

Or the very last option, you could do all the work yourself, and save lots of money.

So took my z to chantilly mid afternoon Saturday for emission and safety inspections. Very helpful folks. Nice experience all around. Had to pay for both though.

How much did you for the inspection?

Somberlaine 05-30-2011 08:23 AM

Safety 16 emission 28. Pretty much what I would have paid at any gas station.
