Tim Dahle Nissan Southtowne

Tim Dahle Nissan of Sandy was one of several dealers in the Salt Lake Valley that I contacted toward the end of October 2013, as I was in the market for a 2013 Nissan Juke Nismo. I can honestly say that I the Salt Lake Valley that I contacted toward the end of October 2013, as I was in the market for a 2013 Nissan Juke Nismo. I can honestly say that I have never had a better buying experience ANYWHERE. Devon Dillenburg and James Baker were an absolute delight to deal with! I was most impressed at how no stone was left un-turned; how any and all concerns or questions I had were addressed in a direct and professional manner. I can't recommend this dealership enough. If the buying experience was this good, I can only imagine how great their service department must be! More

We received a promotional email from Steve Pace about potentially buying our car back and getting us into a newer model. Although we were happy with what we had, we wanted to explore options if it meant potentially buying our car back and getting us into a newer model. Although we were happy with what we had, we wanted to explore options if it meant lowering our payment. When we arrived, Steven Galaso was the salesman who helped us out and we could not be happier with how awesome he was. Steven was laid back and didn't pressure us at all. He heard and truly listened to what we wanted and ended up getting us in a newer car with a lower payment like we wanted. We weren't planning on getting a new car, but Steven's amazing service and friendliness made it possible. After we bought the car, Steven continued his great service by following up with us and making sure we were taken care of and happy with our car. Within a few weeks, we actually had a nail in our tire. We were quoted a replacement by the service department, but when Steven heard about this, he went above and beyond to find ways to get it taken care of. I would recommend him to anyone seeking out their next car purchase. *In addition to Steven, the entire staff at Tim Dahle was nothing but friendly. JD in the service department was great, and Brant in finance was equally awesome. Everyone from top to bottom made sure we were taken care of and happy without seeming or being fake about it. Truly professional service across the board. More

My car wouldn’t idle and I had it towed to Tim Dahle Nissan (Southtown) for repair. The car has always gone to TD Nissan for oil changes and any repair work. My nephew has a code reader so we knew what Nissan (Southtown) for repair. The car has always gone to TD Nissan for oil changes and any repair work. My nephew has a code reader so we knew what repairs needed to be made. According to the reader the car needed a new Mass Flow Indicator. It took a day and a half before I got a call from the service advisor saying they had identified the problem. He indicated that the computer was broken and would I authorize a new one to be put in the car. The part was expensive but I agreed to have the computer replaced. About 30 minutes later, I received a call that all the keys and remotes would need to be reprogrammed, they sent a courier to retrieve them. An hour or so later I received another call from the service advisor, he explained that the computer they had just put in the car was also broken, and that they would need to replace the main wire harness. He mentioned something about the burnt wire smell when the car was brought in. I told him the car DIDN’T have a burnt wire smell when it was brought in. I indicated that I wasn’t sure what to do. The car is old and it probably isn’t worth the money he was talking about to fix it. This occurred later on a Thursday afternoon. The service advisor then offered to supply a “loaner car”. I asked him how much the loaner car would cost me and he indicated there was no charge as long as my car was in their shop. I asked if I could keep the car until Monday and by then I would be able to make a better decision. That was agreed to by the service advisor. After careful consideration, I decided not to fix my car. I returned the “loaner car” to the dealership on Monday morning. The service advisor assigned to me wasn’t into work yet and I was not able to find anyone to check the “loaner” car into. While waiting, I asked another service advisor for the key to my car as I wanted to start cleaning out my personal items. It took nearly 20 minutes for the key to be located. When I went out to my car it was in the parking lot unlocked. I wonder how long it was unlocked for? Anyone could have gotten into the car and got my personal information. When I got into the car, there was a distinct and strong smell of burnt wire. I had a bag with me and put my personal information into the bag. I locked the car, went back into the service dept to let them know I would be back in about an hour. Upon my return, the service advisor had arrived. I told him I had decided not to have the car repaired due to the high costs and that I had already talked to the service manager about leaving my car in their lot for approximately 2 days. The service advisor then said so we need to settle up on the bill. The bill? I said. He indicated I would need to pay for the diagnostic and the computer they put into my car that they broke. Really? Why do I need to pay for a computer that you broke? He started adjusting the price down and then also told me the loaner was really a rental since I had decided not to have my car repaired at their shop. I had no problem paying for the diagnostic, except they never figured out what the problem was with my car. And now I am required to pay for the computer they broke and a rental car that was represented to me as a loaner and not a rental? I attempted to understand why I am responsible for a part that they broke. He indicated if I had them make all the repairs (including the computer and my main wiring harness that they burned up) and pay for it then the part (the computer) would be covered under the warranty. I still don’t understand. After several minutes of arguing I told the service advisor I was getting a lawyer and I left. I can’t believe this dealership would treat anyone this way. I bought my car from them and the car has been serviced by them for many years. I haven’t had a problem before. Now I will NEVER go there again and have already told my friends to steer clear of Tim Dahale Nissan at Southtown auto mall. I took my car in for repair, not only couldn’t they diagnose the problem and fix it, they managed to burn up the wiring harness. I am not convinced the computer was broken when it went in because they told me when they put in the new computer it was sending the same error codes as the old computer. I don’t think their mechanic knew what he was doing and so instead of having my car fixed I was forced to buy a new car AND pay for a stupid rental car that they told me there would be no charge for. The whole process cost me almost $1000.00 AND the car is broken worse than when I brought it into them. Don’t go to Tim Dahle Nissan at Southtown. At first they were nice to me but as soon as they realized I decided not to pay for additional parts and repairs they were a little unreasonable, OK allot unreasonable. I was even threatened with “we have recorded every conversation we had”. Great maybe the staff there should listen to the conversations so they can learn how NOT to treat a customer. Denise P. More

I have only had bad experiences at car dealerships. I've felt lied to and bullied into a car. When I went to Nissan I expected the same problems. But WOW they proved me wrong. When we went to Nissan w I've felt lied to and bullied into a car. When I went to Nissan I expected the same problems. But WOW they proved me wrong. When we went to Nissan we were immediately helped by Steve G. He was honest with us from the second we started talking with him. We found a 2013 that we liked and Steve was very detailed about the car. We worked with Ben for financing. He worked hard to find a lender to work with us. However due to our current credit situation the car was not going to be affordable for us. But not once did Ben or Steve try and talk us into the higher payment. Ben even came into work earlier on a Saturday to meet with us. He explained what all the banks said. He said that Steve was working on finding us a car for the approved price. Steve found us a car that we love and Ben found us the price we love. Steve even took the time to setup the Bluetooth for me and go to the gas station to fill up the car. It was a professional transaction. Ask for Steve when you go in. He is a pro and if you get Ben for financing you are in really good hands!!! Thanks Steve and Ben! More

John was super awesome! Every time we have ever gone to buy a car the sales people are pushy, rude, and just don't understand what we want and we need... But, with John he was very nice, got to know us. Sh buy a car the sales people are pushy, rude, and just don't understand what we want and we need... But, with John he was very nice, got to know us.

Buying a vehicle from Tim Dahle has been the best car experience for the past 37 years. We have had a couple of Nissan vehicles, so we are accustom to the reliability. Generally the car is not the diffic experience for the past 37 years. We have had a couple of Nissan vehicles, so we are accustom to the reliability. Generally the car is not the difficulty in buying; usually the difficulty is who you buy the car from. Stephen Galaso met us as we were walking up to the dealership. "On no, now it begins", I thought. But it turned out my apprehension was misguided. Stephen came off as sincere and honest (which I have found to be his nature over the last several months). We talked about our needs, what type of car we wanted, what it would be used for, mileage, up keep, etc.; all of the things that were important to us, but are usually too timid to bring up in sales environment. We had a pretty good idea about what we wanted, but Stephen just reassured us and made a number of other positive points we didn't even think of. It wasn't as if he was "selling us", but rather confirming what type of car, a n Altima, would meet our needs now and well into the future. In the past, financing meant open-your-wallet-and-don't-look-while-we-help-ourselves (or at least that's how it has felt). Not at Tim Dahle. Yea, there was some give and take--after all it is a business. But in the end, we were able to come to a mutually beneficial agreement that meant we got the car we wanted at an acceptable monthly payment. And they got one more sale in December. The coolest part--and I tell everyone about this--was when Stephen took us to the shop to pick up our new car. We stepped into the shop, a vehicle had a red cloth concealing the car. In a magical moment, someone pulled off the covering to reveal our shiny new 2013 red Altima to a round of applause and hoots and howlers by a dozen employees. I am still in awe at that scene. Spectacular. We have been back a couple of times for minor recall service that took surprisingly little time, oil changes (and a couple of car washes). Each time we have been treated with respect, invited to wait in their clean customer lounge and whatever was done was done as quickly and professionally as could be imagined. Even the cashier has made doing business with Tim Dahle a very positive. I even got a personal phone call from Tim to thank me for our business and to make sure we were happy with our experience.

I went into this dealership not even sure I could qualify to by any car at all, since my credit is bad. Not only did they finance a car for me, it was an absolutely beautiful Nissan Altima! They treated me l to by any car at all, since my credit is bad. Not only did they finance a car for me, it was an absolutely beautiful Nissan Altima! They treated me like family, made the transition into my new car painless, and it's the best experience in car buying I've ever had! Mitch and Mirza worked hard to find the perfect car, and the finance people worked miracles to make my bad credit not quite so bad that I couldn't get my car...just like magic! Thanks, so much guys!

It was fast, friendly, and fun! It is the second time in 3 months that our family has purchased a car here. All of the sales team was great! 3 months that our family has purchased a car here. All of the sales team was great! More

I was just going to look at a car, but Steven made everything so easy that I drove away in a new Pathfinder. This from someone who is NOT an impulsive buyer. A week later, I am still happy and have no everything so easy that I drove away in a new Pathfinder. This from someone who is NOT an impulsive buyer. A week later, I am still happy and have no regrets. Love my new car. Steven knows his stuff. Helpful, yet not pushy. Nice to deal with someone who loves his job. He even texted me to make sure everything was good after the sale. If you're considering a Nissan, check out Tim Dahle in Sandy and ask for Steven. More
