Biggest problem this dealership has is still suffering quality of work they do from technician mechanics. This is more like a combined review with various experiences... I brought my car for all 4 tire quality of work they do from technician mechanics. This is more like a combined review with various experiences... I brought my car for all 4 tire change, so brand new tires to put on, balance and align the car. I was dealing with Nissan Service advisers Doug Rice and Marty Gonchar - those guys have great customer service skills, very cool to deal with and just understanding folks, glad they have them there! Even dealt with Gary Lewis who did not know how to do the quarter tire test, but still a cool guy to have him there, i am sure as a manager he is cool. NOW, the mechanics or whatever their official title is (folks that do actual job) are always missing something. First of all, Nissan prints out that they do 110 point inspection every time you bring a car in - that's BULL SH.T! I had tire feathering problem on my 350z due to factory incorrect alignment specs, and i learned about it at 30k miles...while that sh.t been happening not over the last 3k miles for sure, since i remember the growling noise and such for a long time. So, my car been there for service 3-4 times at least on the lift for oil changes but it was never brought up that inside edges of the front tires are going bold that when last time i learned about it there were cords coming out, i guess that was visible enough. That makes me wonder if they check anything else at all, including even the basic things such as top off the fluids, i might bring it empty next time and see if they add any. I really need to get that list of what is the 110 points that being check, thats almost like a comprehensive car inspection. So, back to my tire changing service. Tires were changed, mounted and i just hope they were balanced (can not now assume nothing), so basically 90% job as done well. I jumped in a car and first thing i notice driving off that tire pressure sensors showing 46 in my left front, 37 in my right front, 43 in my left rear and around 39 in my right rear. The car was sitting there on a lot, and i am sure already cooled down from a test drive which should not have been a long drive to heat up the tires, but even if the tires did get warm - the manual says 34PSI on cold tires, lets say it was driven the pressure should have jumped to 38-39PSI maybe, all around in all 4 tires. So, my point is, that i understand when i bring a car for something specific and there is a side check that was not done, but i brought a car to change tires, which require inflation with air after they are done - so, they were inflated for sure, but sounds like nobody gives a sh.t at what pressure? This sounds like a minor detail, but its brand new tires that i dont want to mess up, and obviously driving on overinflated tire by 11PSI would cause an uneven wear in the middle. So, if i do not have a tire pressure gauge with me, then what am i supposed to do: let the air out, then drive it again to see my sensors showing the temps, then let more out then drive it again?! i mean, a minor thing like that is a pain in the ass - and thats what Nissan dealership in Frederick LACKS! no attention to the detail whatsoever...and this is not the first time i had this experience, like nothing major but a small things that does not make it complete satisfaction! I dont even wanna discuss the time when i asked to tighten the mounting exhaust bolt - they wanted to charge me $20 to tighten up...haha hilarious...thank God that guy who i was arguing about this does not work there anymore!
