The overall experience was great. Have had an experience last year at the same dealership and was unhappy with the pressure and harrasment. This time everyone was great and there was no pressure and I got last year at the same dealership and was unhappy with the pressure and harrasment. This time everyone was great and there was no pressure and I got the deal that I wanted without the added stress. The only problem was the process lasted longer than I had planned, Part of the time was due to my not being able to contact my insurance. They were very helpful and I obtained from an on premis Insurance agent. No coffee, water or soda's in the machine. Cris did buy me a soda when he went to fill the vehicle. More
A nightmare. Salesman was attentive at the beginning, but we got the run around from every department. We went Friday and immediately had an approval, then the next day we heard nothing on the final numbers we got the run around from every department. We went Friday and immediately had an approval, then the next day we heard nothing on the final numbers from finance. When we kept calling, we were given very misleading and contradicting information everytime. When we did speak up about the matter, the salesman stopped taking our calls. Very negative experience.

Our experience at Bert Ogden Nissen was initially a mixture of some frustration and questioning. However, it was due to our expectations not meeting the expectations of the management at the dealershi mixture of some frustration and questioning. However, it was due to our expectations not meeting the expectations of the management at the dealership. Had it not been for Red (Raymond McGarity) our sales representative we might have gone elsewhere. We first met him in late March during Sprint break while looking for a car. He was professional, genuine and was not at all pushy. He let us think things through and agreed to be available should we decide to purchase a car. We were looking at Nissen Sentras at the time, but were not ready to make a commitment to a purchase. After going to several other dealerships, we decided to return to Bert Ogden in May when our son came home from school. We went to Bert Ogden Nissen and specifically asked for Red because of the positive impression he made on the first visit. We ended up buying a Nissen Altima. I would definitely go back to purchase another car from this dealership and specifically from Red becuse of the good service he provided. In fact, we have already talked to our sister about purchasing a car from this dealership. Red exemplifies what my dad used to call "true customer service". He is not out to just make a living for himself and the company, he is an example of someone who knows how to treat the customer in a manner which is genuine. It is readily apparent that he truely enjoys and believes in what he does and most importantly takes pride in his work. Another employee who stood out was Cyndy Fontenot. She was courteous, friendly and professional. More
We had actually decided on a vehicle at another dealership but my husband decided to stop by Bert Ogden one evening. He came back home so excited about the price of a Nissan Rogue which was a much dealership but my husband decided to stop by Bert Ogden one evening. He came back home so excited about the price of a Nissan Rogue which was a much better price than the vehicle we had set our eyes on. I wasn't a believer until I went the next day to see for myself. For a very small difference I would purchase a brand new vehicle instead of a 2008 model I had seen at Hacienda Ford. How can that be?? Well, it's true!!! Rich, our salesman, was very easy going, no pressure, and absolutely great. He knew exactly what we wanted and didn't push us into another type or style of car. It really is a big relief that he listened to our needs in regards to space and safety features we wanted in a vehicle. I drove off in my red Nissan Rogue with a big smile knowing I had purchased the right vehicle. We had to take our 1 yr old daughter which was tough because the wait time for all the paper work to be ready is long as expected. Unfortunately, Bert Ogden doesn't cater to those of us shopping with little ones. I really wish there was a baby changing station so I didn't have to change my dauther's diaper on a chair with no privacy and there was no kids room or at least a TV. It was pretty hot and they offer no complimentary bottled water and there is no signage directing you to the vending or soda machine. More
My husband and I bought a car there on sat 3/20/11. all was well until we checked into what we got into. the price of the car was 1000 more than the internet price I had told them about AND to top it off was well until we checked into what we got into. the price of the car was 1000 more than the internet price I had told them about AND to top it off there were deals they didnt let us in on. IE free maintance for a year. Also when we were leaving I noticed that the key was by itself. I asked the car sale person where the little remote to lock and unlock was and he said that the car that were 17 5 didnt come with that feature!! are u kidding me. Okay so I just bought a care that was like 18 grand and I dont even get a little convience tool with it. The price is really bothering me. What is the return policy for bert ogden nissan, because I rather get a car that with the internet price as the same as the one we got that actually has upgraded features. More
First I have to say I am so glad I never purchased a vehicle from this stealership. I went in looking to buy an Altima. Noticed they had a few 2009 models still on the lot selling as brand new. It b vehicle from this stealership. I went in looking to buy an Altima. Noticed they had a few 2009 models still on the lot selling as brand new. It being 2010 I figured I could get a good deal on last year's model. For some reason they thought that 2009's should cost the same as the 2010's. Under what logic? I'm not someone who needs to be "sold" a car. I do my research and I know what I'm going looking for before getting to the dealer. Most of the guys at this dealer think they are so slick and have this attitude that just makes me nauseous. Anyway, I was approached by some guy who looked as if he could have been some homeless dude off the street they gave a shot at selling cars to. I still wasn't convinced he was really even a salesman until he started in with the paperwork. He kept pulling this little trick sales people will use known as "conditioning" Keeps writing things by hand on a piece of paper and saying will you buy this car if I give you the right price. After you sign enough times you don't even notice you are signing loan papers at the end. I started running out of fake names to sign because he asked me to do this so much. He wouldn't go to the next step unless I wrote something down and I wasn't serious about jumping into a loan when he wouldn't even give me the price of the car. At some point he asked for my debit card and I gave it to him. I think they were doing something to see how much money I had in my account. Crooked jerks. Turns out they were holding my card ransom for signed loan papers. they wouldn't give me my card back until I gave the papers back to them signed. They must pay off the police because when I threatened to call them they just told me go ahead they would call them too. Bottom line is this place is the biggest waste of time unless you are a complete idiot or desperate for a Nissan. I ended up buying a used altima from Frank Smith and I had a very good experience there. They got me in and out with a loan of the percentage I asked for. I will never ever ever ever go to Bert Ogden Nissan again. This place made me so mad I won't even buy from one of their other dealers. Nissan should take their license away because it gives the brand a bad name. When (if) I buy my next Nissan I will go to Houston where there are several dealers and they will actually give you competitive More
I was a bit optimistic about dealership sales staff before going to check them out but I was blown away with how friendly the staff was. My salesman wasn't one of the annoying salesmen that tend to ha before going to check them out but I was blown away with how friendly the staff was. My salesman wasn't one of the annoying salesmen that tend to harass you verbally until you buy, he gave me the space I needed to make my decision. Miguel the CR/internet sales manager was very professional and friendly as well, offered me different protection packages at a good price and explained in detail how they will benefit me so I took them. Dalia at finance was very friendly and explained to me very well what I was purchasing. Overall I left very happy with the experience I had at Bert Ogden Nissan. I will definitely turn to them in the future when I purchase another vehicle. More

Customer service is very important to us and Bert Ogden Nissan gave us great customer service! The staff was friendly and they worked with us to get us the deal we wanted.

My salesperson was Chuck and my after-market person was Mike Castillo. Both of them were extremely nice and professional. I would highly recommend Bert Ogden Nissan and we will continue to purchase our vehicles from them. More
Wife and I went in for used car purchase after searching many other dealers and being pressured to buy. Jacob our sales person was the best, not once pressuring us to buy, even offering us to continue sear many other dealers and being pressured to buy. Jacob our sales person was the best, not once pressuring us to buy, even offering us to continue searching until we felt comfortable. After negotiating our deal, we decided to purchase our vehicle here. This is where the drama begins, the finance department. My negotiated $15,000 car would now cost me $29,800. Life insurance, disability insurance (both of which I have with my employer), service protection (which was touted as free oil changes), equipment protection, & gap insurance were tagged unto the vehicle price. The final price of all these additional charges, $7,500. When asked if I could have a copy of my paper work I was told that it would be mailed to me, conveniently after they have received the funds from my lending institution. When I did receive the paperwork I tried calling the finance department to inquiry on all of these additional charges. Good luck getting someone to answer the company phone 956-631-6666. Whenever I did reach someone I was told that they would have someone call me back. Thank God, after reviewing all the insurance papers it looks as though I may be able to recover all of these cost & all I will be out is time spent, and about 6 months higher interest rates until I can refinance the new lower price of the vehicle. Overall, my salesperson Jacob, I highly recommend, it is the finance department I'd avoid. More
