Service Center will rip you off - BE CAREFUL!!! - brc0011
So, I had a camshaft positioning sensor keep going out in my Xterra after being replaced for only a few months. The short of it, I thought it would be wise to take it to the Nissan dealership because their service techs might know of another problem that might cause this since it is a Nissan product. Well, when I got to the shop, I made the mistake of telling them to call me before working on anything and that I only had like $300 in my bank account to work with. (My mistake: the part is $90 so I was assuming the most of $200 if they just replaced the sensor or maybe more if it was something more extensive). Well, lo and behold, it was just the sensor again and they called me to let me know that it would be...$300 almost exactly. That's interesting? I thought maybe since it was a dealership, it might be more expensive. No, it cost $210 to plug in a sensor?? $210. Oh, btw, it costs $55 for labor at S&S Tires to replace and it took them like 5 minutes. Remember, I only brought it to Nissan because I thought it might be something else...not to get a quadruple service charge for the same, exact repair. Anyways, I went ahead and paid for it because with this sensor malfunctioning, I was legitimately having my vehicle turn off while going through an intersection or down the highway. So, there goes all the money in my bank account for this week. I already had to shell out $800 for taxes, $400 for two sick dogs, and a bunch of other random crap that drained my savings to 0. So, thanks Nissan in Sylacauga for gouging me for a simple repair and just adding to my already extensive financial woes. Maybe try just ripping off the rich people who can afford it and not people who work their a** off all week just to get slapped in the face. Better yet, just do good business. Rant over. I guess the goal of Nissan in Sylacauga is to take advantage of people and, especially, since this malfunctioning part gave such a high possibility of potentially causing a wreck, they knew I would pay the maximum that I needed to get it fixed and be safe on the road. I'm sure there is a word for that. Just imagine buying a car from them? 0 stars. Rant over for real this time.
