New Owner in Eastern Virginia

Darketch · 06-08-2013, 01:52 PM

Hi Everybody!

Just picked up my NISMO Thursday the 6th from Ohio and drove it to Chesapeake. I hit a deer carcass on the way home just north of Williamsburg on 64.

I just got done checking out the undercarriage and bumper...yep there's damage, so I'm making a claim with my insurance company to replace the front bumper, replace the busted rivets in the wheel well, replace the instillation in the undercarriage, paint, etc...

Don't know if anyone else is on here from my area, but if so:

I was planning to take it to Hall Nissan Virginia Beach on Monday due to the reviews I saw online. Is there a better place or another dealership I should take it?

crap that sucks...sorry to hear.

eastwest2300 · 06-08-2013, 04:22 PM

Damn that sucks, I hope you get it all taken care of.

Tigger · 06-08-2013, 09:57 PM

Stock or Modified. I'll pm you more info.

Darketch · 06-09-2013, 01:04 AM

Completely Stock besides a DVD player and speakers. Not looking to do much but the forums make me want to do more! I was considering an exhaust within a year, but want to see y'all cars to see if I like it over the Nismo exhaust.

Hall Nissan VA Beach isn't a "bad" place, typical dealer, but when they screw up it is usually bad.
When they replaced my front bumped the paint job was very good.
However the reason they were replacing the front bumped was due to this:

( Click to show/hide )

They claimed that Nissan USA told them to do that when installing front license plate holders.

The dealer I would take it to in the Hampton Roads area is Pomoco Nissan.

Will pm you some info that might be helpful.

Its been less than 24 hours and I already have a couple of options for repairs and service in my area. Thanks everybody for the support!

Congrats on the NISMO. Sorry to hear about the damage

aniceh · 06-10-2013, 10:50 AM

Oh, no! I hope you get the damage fixed to your satisfaction quickly!

BTW, excellent choice on the color.

Congrats, and enjoy!

You should have seen my face when I saw that picture. I can't believe anyone would do that. I zip tied my front plate to the grill when I first picked up my Z.

You will like aftermarket over the Nismo, almost guaranteed. ESPECIALLY if you hear mine or Dee's exhausts!

This is true..

Welcome!

Don't go to Hall Nissan, they suck. I bought my car from them and have had it there for a few things and they have been pretty rude and ripped me off a few times.

I prefer Nissan of Chesapeake, but even they aren't great. In all honesty I can't stand any dealer though.

I live in Chesapeake also by the way.

Ryguy · 06-10-2013, 08:38 PM

I bought mine at the pomoco Nissan in Hampton and they were pretty good, however I never go there for service because I hate the drive to Hampton because of the HRBT. Been to hall Nissan to get my CSC changed and I didn't have a bad experience, it was covered under warrentee but they won't stop harassing me with emails after unsubscribing several times.
