Want sales? Want Antonio! Everyone under the roof of this car dealership is professional, pleasant and friendly, but he was the best. No hassles, no gimmicks, just honest staff who really just want to see yo car dealership is professional, pleasant and friendly, but he was the best. No hassles, no gimmicks, just honest staff who really just want to see you happy. From the time you walk in the door until you drive away in your new Nissan (or used!), I felt zero pressure but I knew I was in good hands and would have any question answered that I could possibly come up with. 125% and A+++ for salesman Antonio. Anyone at Lia Nissan would love to help your automotive dreams come true - but Antonio is the primary reason why I'm forever Nissan! More
The salesman was as straight as he could be. The sales manager, Ali, was a TOOL. There are multiple Nissan Dealers in the Albany Area. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. manager, Ali, was a TOOL. There are multiple Nissan Dealers in the Albany Area. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. More
I have just returned from one of the best sales experiences I have ever had. I needed another car but I wasn't sure whether I could afford to take on an expense of this magnitude in this economy. experiences I have ever had. I needed another car but I wasn't sure whether I could afford to take on an expense of this magnitude in this economy. Relatives have recommended Nissan on several occasions so I decided to visit the Lia Nissan Dealership on Central Avenue in Schenectady. I called ahead to make an appointment. The moment I walked into the showroom I felt comfortable. Tom Kenneally was my salesman and I consider myself very lucky. We started by discussing my concerns and financial situation. My care was appraised, very fairly, and I was given several options that would meet my needs. I looked at used cars, new cars and hybrids. I took several cars for a test drive and fell in love with the Nissan Maxima. TOM MADE IT HAPPEN. We explored several differnt types of financing and we both came to the conclusion that leasing would be the best way to put me in the car of my dreams. I will be picking up my new car on Saturday and I plan to have a long term relationship with this dealer and Tom...I would highly recommend them to anyone who is the least bit interested in investing in a new vehicle More
Top level service and attention is what I got on a Saturday when I went to "look". I had no idea I'd be driving home in the vehicle I always wanted THE SAME DAY..They make the magic happen here at Lia Saturday when I went to "look". I had no idea I'd be driving home in the vehicle I always wanted THE SAME DAY..They make the magic happen here at Lia Nissan; hands down miles above the rest. I will go back there and recommend everyone to stop in and see for themselves!! More
Today, I had the best car buying experience. My sales man Kevin Twomey and the finance manager Mike Swobely were a joy to workn with. I never felt pressured to buy a vehicle during the process. Kevin went ab Kevin Twomey and the finance manager Mike Swobely were a joy to workn with. I never felt pressured to buy a vehicle during the process. Kevin went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. He even went above and beyond in making sure that I got the car I wanted. He explained every feature of the car and made me know I was making the right decision. He stayed late two nights this week to make sure I was taken care of driving away in my new car. Mike was absolutely awesome to deal with. He took the time to explain the different extended warranty and made sure I understood each form before I signed. It's caring people like this that make Lia Nissan my dealer for life. I would recommend them a thousand times over and will definitely go there for my next purchase. I would also like to thank Ali for his help with my car deal. Everyone that works there greets you with a smile and never makes you feel like you are being pressured. Overall, I hands down had the best and easiest car buying experience at Lia Nissan. More

But-were it not for Vinnie and the professionalism of every person at Lia Nissan, I'm sure I'd still be shopping. A five star experience, bar none. More
I had a GREAT experience with Lia Nissan of Colonie. I went in to purchase a new car, and worked with Tony Wheeler. He was fantastic, helping me decide between buying or leasing, new or used. He weighed a went in to purchase a new car, and worked with Tony Wheeler. He was fantastic, helping me decide between buying or leasing, new or used. He weighed all options for me, never pushing me into a sale, but rather, helping me and my family find which option is best for us. At delicery, he took the time to show us all the little gadgets inside of the 2011 Nissan Sentra we purchased. Everyone at the dealership was very friendly and helpful. I would absolutely reccomend this dealership. Furthermore, if you go, ask for Tony. He was awesome! More

Lia Nissan was very unprofessional to me when I visited in early January. I knew what car I wanted and how much I was able to spend and what a fair price for the 2011 Nissan Versa would be. The salesman in early January. I knew what car I wanted and how much I was able to spend and what a fair price for the 2011 Nissan Versa would be. The salesman did the traditional back and forth run around and even before we started to finalize a sale, his sale manager came over. He tried the intimidation routine in which he starred me down and explained why the competition was so terrible and underhanded. His choice of words were unprofessional. When I validated his statements (I am a teacher so this is something that I do A LOT), he said that he wouldn't even offer a counter-offer because the figure the competition was such a horrendous lie that he didn't want to stoop to the level. I requested and offer because if the competition really did lie to me about the price I wanted to know what Lia would offer so that if/when I walked out of the other dealership I would have a reason to return to Lia. To me, this seemed logical. The manager abruptly gave me a number and walked away. When the salesman returned he was in a rush to get me out of the dealership. I asked about a particular feature on the new vehicle and he spent 30 seconds trying to find an owner's manual so "I could look up the answer myself". When he gave up (after spending 30 minutes running back and forth to his sale manager's office) he informed me that he had "another customer" coming in and he needed to prepare for that person. I was escorted to the door and not even thanked for taking the time to come in and speak with the salesperson. I also checked out the service department when I was there waiting for the salesman to run around. I inquired about the coffee machine. The woman behind the service counter (with whom I'd expect to work frequently post-sale) was very lazy and apatheic. I asked about cups. She told me they were locked up and that she couldn't retrieve them. I find this difficult to believe. I said that there were several cabinets and would it be all right if I explored them to see if I could find any. She didn't offer to do it herself (she was extremely busy sitting in her chair doing nothing) and when I opened the first set of cabinets, I found the cups. Amazing the power of exploration. On a final note, the bathroom needed a severe cleaning. I would not recommend Lia Nissan (or Lia anything) because they do not employ professional upstanding people to sell their vehicles. Oddly enough, the salesman from Lia recommended this site. I find this ironic but amusing and I am taking full advantage of his suggestion. Nemith Nissan in Latham was MUCH better. More
