can I trust Dealer Installation?

street2soul · 01-11-2013, 09:10 PM

I am getting a 13' Nismo with Bose and Illuminated Kickplate.
But it doesn't have the in-mirror rearview camera.

Rearview camera is available under dealer installed options.
But, can I really trust the dealer to install this?
knowing that on a brand new car, panels have to be popped open for installing camera/harness is a bit nerve wrecking for me.

I'd rather have them already installed in Japan, but doesn't seem to have an option..

Please suggest!! Thanks in advance.

why are you worried? You have warranty, and they did it. If they **** up they will fix everything they jacked up.

NIssan scratched my anniversary rim and got me a brand new one.

Just go do it.

I do suggest you got to a reputable one atleast.

A good thing about the dealer is that they will take responsibility for their work. A better dealer will inspect your car at check in and take responsibility for their work.

This is the key^^^

Always have them go over your vehicle prior to them taking it in. This avoids confusion and blame later on.

If it's a legit dealership by all means go for it

If they break anything they will fix it

What they said

thanks guys.
still just a little worried about the technicians that will install this.
they better not break any plastic clips, scratch or drill or mount the camera at a different location than Factory OEM installed ones.

You can spend your entire life worrying about that kind of ****, or you can just accept that at some point, it's going to happen and move on.

Like others have said, if Nissan dealership f**ks up things they will have to fix it or get you a new one. I don't understand why you worry so much. If you don't trust a Nissan dealership install an OEM part onto a Nissan car, where else you would trust?

That's true if you know what you are doing.

If you're that worried just learn to do it yourself. Otherwise, not much to complain about it should be fine. If they totally screw it up they'll fix it but if you can't do it yourself I doubt you'll notice their screw up unless very obvious.
