Gerald Nissan of North Aurora

This was one of the best shopping experiences I have had purchasing a vehicle. I purchased a New Altima coupe at a very good price and although I got less than expected for my trade I was not interested in purchasing a vehicle. I purchased a New Altima coupe at a very good price and although I got less than expected for my trade I was not interested in going through the hassel of selling it myself, on the other side why would they give me more than they can get one for at auction I guess. I was in and out with my new car in under 2 hours. I recommened educating urself on pricing and getting an online quote. Truly a satisfying experience my salesman Art was very in tune with our needs. I am posting this because no one ever seems to post good experiences and it seems only fair to give credit where it is due. I will be back for my next vehicle. Margaret More

What a bunch of scam artists, crooks and jerks. What is interesting too is that it is clear from the top-down that these guys are taught their "tricks" from the management. Here's the scam they played wit interesting too is that it is clear from the top-down that these guys are taught their "tricks" from the management. Here's the scam they played with us: After price was fairly negotiated saleman Ernie brought back a number for our monthly payment. The number was a lie. He and Tamar (finance) added in a warranty that was never discussed, never negotiated. Paperwork was slipped in the middle of all the documents they have you sign in thirty seconds or less. This was caught immediately when we got home to review the paperwork and we went back to the store. We talked to both finance guys who ran the same play: they put their hands over the paperwork and said "we didn't tell you to sign the contract like this". Even when forced to admit they had given us a B.S. monthly payment amount Tamar continued to blame us for the dealership's shrewd business tactics. It took four calls, conversations with a not so concerned general manager, three hours of visits over two meetings to get any resolution, which was even then only mediocre (at this point it is in their playbook to tell you what they can't do, not what they can do). You'd think it'd be over at that point: nope, gets better. That resolution was never followed up on. Our account was to be credited for the negotiated price of the warranty we were forced to accept (hey, after all, they don't put their hands over the paperwork when you sign it). Never happened. When we called the general manager after failing to connect with Tamar (finance) after one month, we had to wait another two weeks - three phone calls and a visit to the dealership - to receive our payment. Nice touch. Not over. It's been four months since we bought the car, they still won't give us paperwork for the warranty we were fraudantly sold (we were told it'd take a week). I guess we should be more patient, we're only on our third call. If you have had a similar experience with Gerald Nissan/Subaru North Aurora bypass the management and go to the corporate offices to complain, it at least got their attention. More

BEWARE!!! Two experiences tell me that the service department is incompentent and lack any degree of customer service. "Shame on Them": In '05 we had taken a Maxima in for service due to a glichy s department is incompentent and lack any degree of customer service. "Shame on Them": In '05 we had taken a Maxima in for service due to a glichy service engine light. We were told to expect a phone call with the problem and a quote, neither were done. After dropping the car off for that morning we arrived at 7:00 pm to pick it up the car up and find out that, unwarranted services were performed. From there we refused to pay for these services and were very harrased the next day. By all means, did we have the intentions of paying however we wanted explanation prior to doing so. Realizing fault they offered a free service we refused to do the fact that the service manager (Christopher Brischetto) was rude and the services were not okayed. Some people want things for free we don't, it's simply principle. 8/06- "Shame on Me": I took my Pathfinder in due to another service engine light problem at 8:30 a.m. and recieved a call by 1 pm stating that an intake sensor was dysfunctioning. Note, I thought maybe they made some changes to there quality of servce. I was told by Michael Morrison that my tires and brakes were in need of replacement in the near future. Oddly enough the brakes had less than 15,000 miles on them and the tires were new high quality tires less than a week old. Hmmm... I thought to myself. After refusing unneeded services I allowed them to go ahead and replace the needed part. At about 4 pm I rec'd a phone call stating that my Pathfinder was repaired and ready for pick up. Well, when I started it, guess what happended; the service engine light came on. Hmmm... did someone actually fix this? After a lengthly conversation with a different service rep I agreed to allow them to take a second look at a later date. After some forethought the next day I called Christopher Brischetto (service manager) and said that I really just wanted my money back and that I would take my business elsewhere. Suprisingly, he gave a decent explanation while bad mouthing the service repair man a bit (not very professional) and convinced me that the problem may be caused by other issues. So, I took it in to find out that they had replaced my dysfuntional part with a new faulty sensor, however had failed to check there work. Insult to injury; I recieved no apology for the mistake. It was also funny to overhear another disgruntled customer while waiting. YOU BE THE JUDGE!! More

About the only thing they're competitive with is the price, and that's only if you get an internet quote first. Of course the quote was matched by 2 other dealers so there's nothing special about them price, and that's only if you get an internet quote first. Of course the quote was matched by 2 other dealers so there's nothing special about them even on that. Don't expect even a reasonable black book(that's auction value) quote from them on your trade in, let alone close to blue book. It was a joke. $3000 dollars less than what CarMax offered. Are there really people still out there that fall for the old sleazy car dealer routines? Must be because these guys follow the script. Walked out and then they end up harassing me with phone calls for the next week. Claiming they want to "earn my business" ......sorry had your chance. More
