Question,

For those who get their cars serviced at dealerships, I am interested in finding out if you have had good, bad, mediocre or indifferent experiences.

Coming upon my first oil change, don't mind taking to dealerships for oil changes, as long as they are honest and straightforward. Nothing worse than jackasses who have no clue about your car.. i am sure u guys have been through that..

Feedback appreciated.

Also u get the Z serviced at a good Japanese Indy shop, do tell.

I had my first service on my Z done at Brown's Fairfax and had no complaints.

A lot of guys are also pretty pleased with Chantilly Nissan's service.

Thanks Steve, appreciate the heads up.

Nissan of Chantilly has been great to me. Had my car for a year and take it there for each service and oil change. You can bring your own oil and filter if you like (they charge around $20 labor).

Their service is great and they won't try to rip you off.

Nissan Chantilly is great for dealer service.

Plus, last time I was in there a few weeks ago they had a red, silver and blue 2012 GT-R in the showroom. Not bad eyecandy to look at while your car is being serviced

Herb Gordon off of Rt.29 in Silver Spring where I got mine from has a white GT-R in the showroom. Whole facility is nice and clean.

My car just is due for it's first oil change soon and I was debating to take it in to them or just do it myself in the driveway.

They hosted us once for a show and lunch. Very nice people.

I use Brown's in Fairfax. They have been great. Was there today.

If you go, ask for Bryan Waters and say Brian with the white 08 Nismo said he is the man to talk to.

Save yourself the money, and do it yourself, enjoy the experience. I did, the Z's engine is a work of art, its truly built like a Champ.

Red__Zed · 05-15-2011, 12:47 AM

for non-warranty work (mods and such), I have a friend that does good work as well, very inexpensively. He's always willing to hook other enthusiasts with good deals. Feel free to PM if you want contact information.

Hey Red, can you PM me your friends contact information, I need some work done on my Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Used to use Brown's Fairfax, and they're ok for routine oil changes, etc. Had a problem with them even believing me about a clutch problem I had, and a shifter rattle (which I fixed myself...)

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