Damn Dealership! bad experience
 
So I took my car in for an oil change (only because they're free). Normally, they're fine, did the job and that's it. This time, they had my car for over an hour and a half...THEN...when i got in my car, my AC was blasting, my synchrorev match was on, there were 3 more miles on my car, AND my oil temps were past 220. SO, that sucks. if you are only supposed to drive around the corner to the lift, I do not see how 3 miles could have been put on the car...1-2 miles MAYBE! sychro...not ur car, dont be pushing buttons, but even thats whatever. but the oil temps being so high...WTF. if the car was sitting for an hr, they should have been in the 100's. I didnt say anything because i just didnt feel like getting back and making a big thing. what should i do...if anything? I'm not super pissed, just upset.:shakes head:

You should have brought it to the service managers attention immediately.

This^, someone took a joyride. Thats why I pay for peace of mind by doing it myself. You should let us know the dealership so we can stay away.

Based on your other post, I would recommend to find a new dealer in your area... there are like 8 within 20 miles of my home. I went to several before deciding which to purchase from and which to service at.

Let them know!
If you want things done, you gotta do it yourself!

Scott@FontanaNissan 07-15-2009 03:49 PM

Dealerships can't fix a problem if they don't know it exists. Next time speak up, we need to know when this sort of thing happens so we can make sure it doesn't happen again!

I think you are kind of over-reacting.

1. Its hot as hell in Florida. Virtually every time I get my car back from an oil change the ac is blasting.
2. Oil temp was prob hot because they did a short road test (hence the 3 miles).

As far as the synchro rev engaged, yea thats annoying but whatever. Which dealership was this?

xiven 07-15-2009 04:02 PM

why would they need to do a road test for an oil change? :shakes head:

I'd have raised hell.. I always make note of my mileage when I drop my car off anywhere. Since there no possible way to reverse the damage of being walked all over by joy-riding your car.. Perhaps they can give you free Ester oil changes or Synthetic changes without the additional cost.

There's no road test required for oil changes, especially 3 mile tests. They will drive a car around a dealership to get a tire sensor light cleared if one came up due to low tires.

No way. Were talking oil that is at most 90 degrees ambient when they put it in! And you only need to turn it on to make sure theres no leaks, no "road test". What the hell would they test for on the open road? Are they looking in the rearview for an oil slick? Even when its hot outside the oil temp doesnt get that hot in 3 miles unless I am getting on it.

You got exactly what you paid for. Want a different outcome? Do it yourself..

My dealer also gave ne free oil changes for life. It is highly unlikely that he'll ever see me on his doorstep to collect..

Ummmmm...He should be glad his dealer QC'd the work. Too many don't and you won't find out until you've dumped 5 qts of oil on the road 2 miles from the dealership.. Gimme a break!

CrownR426 07-15-2009 05:22 PM

Well the OP is also a 2010 GTR Owner!
They should've treated him as a king at that Nissan Dealership.
