nrenz123 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Interesting footage from the dealership from my dashcam... Makes me wish there was more petrol in it to see what they would have done. Glad it was low though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargara Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I was expecting footage of it going sideways, being ragged around etc. Overall id say that paints your dealership in a good light that they can be trusted with your car (at least that tech anyway) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Not too bad really, sounds like he might of ragged it a bit if it was dry but luckily he didn't in the wet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 They drove your car to make sure it's working before they gave it back to you? I believe they call it a road test... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Could have at least turn off the wipers properly before turning off ignition.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Not toooo bad. From the way he was talking i'm glad there was no fuel in it though . Highlight for me was him not knowing about the auto blip haha. Edited November 26, 2015 by nrenz123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex350z Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Obviously didnt know the camera was there. Could have been worse but wasnt very professional of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Nissan Birmingham by the looks of it? If so, thats where I bought my 350z from. Took it back a few weeks later as the hood was sticking a bit. They broke the hood and needed the car a bit longer to fix. They didnt mess about at all, gave me a brand new 370z Roadster off their forecourt to use for a few days until they fixed it. Only negative thing I found was that in the 370z (which i guessed was being used as a demo car) there were loads of receipts for unleaded fuel.

nrenz123 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Yeah it is! There's other footage of them revving it in the car park, spinning the back up when moving it. But worst of all was seeing them use one of those bloody brushes when they washed it . Amateur .

AMT Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Reasonably restrained driving... Besides the clutch stuffing get away perhaps lol. I would expect them to give it a bit to test stuff make sure no rattles etc but this depends what it was in for.... What was the reason for the visit?

ioneabee Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I always ask first before allowing them to wash it - if I get "sponge" (or other) i just tell 'em thanks, but no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraziekatz1 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 On my service last year I got a lift to the garage to collect my car, only to be told the garage owner had taken it for a 'test drive' to make sure it was all ok. I turned round to see him parking my car up and get out.....holding a McD's takeaway in his hand!!!!! I was not impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Where do you use now? I used mitz and Andy at cougar store top trustworthy guys But since I have been supercharged Litchfield do mine as they fitted it all so makes sence for them to do it I change my oil every 4 thousand now tho so I change it myself at 4 and take it to them at 8 just to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Ah, my car is still under warranty for 12 months (though thats worth nothing as proved from the clutch issues thread) once the warranty is gone i'll take it to Mitz. I've been to the store a few times and trust them completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to the store a few times and trust them completely. That's understandable then mate I was in the same position as I had extended warranty But I totaly lost faith in nissan and don't invisage selling any time soon so want the best for the car You get that peace of mind from the likes of mitz and other enthusiastic independent places Roll on end of warranty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIGWEL Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 My car has only done 10'000 miles. O8 hr. It is due for a service but dont really want it to go to a nissan outlet. My previous visit to them was due to oil pressure guage reading too high. I knew it would be the sender switch because of all the helpful posts on this site. Also i did mention this to the guys on the service desk. It had to be fitted by nissan as it was under warranty. However when i took it along to them they did a vehicle check and said no info on fault reader shown. They wanted to take the dashboard apart etc to remove the guage and would need it for the day. I didnt like the idea of that so i bought the sender unit and fitted it and problem solved. Since then no way will i use a nissan main dealership Will probably try zed shed if not too far from me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Colliers Tyesley, know them well. Used them once when I first got my Zed. A bunch of useless idiots dressed in Nissan service gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The other interesting thing was why did it need two people for the test drive, did the young passenger just go for the thrill, of was he the brains behind the outfit. :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
