Mysilvernismo Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hello everyone I’m new to the forum and look forward to reading posts from everyone i got my 2018 Nismo couple of years ago. Last year I took it to a nearest Nismo dealer from Hinckley (I won’t name it just for the extra mystery) for a routine service and I was shocked and not happy. I requested for a full 4 wheel alignment check and they were unable to do it due to no aglinment equipment and they rang me saying they could not find the locking wheel nut but have to use their master key. I was then very worried cause if they don’t even know where the locking nut is what sort of trainee would be working on my car. Now another service is due and I don’t want my car to be serviced there. Would any of you guys can suggest any good Nismo garage or good specialists who know the 370 and would do a good job ? any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Muxlow Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hi and welcome along. You could try cougar store in Leicester. From what I have heard they are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Schwier Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Unfortunately it sounds like you've learnt the hard way that these main dealerships are usually not very good and expensive. Even their so called 'specialist centres'. Horsham Developments and Abbey Motorsports both have extremely good reputations for all things Z. I'm sure there is some other specialists garages some other forum members can mention as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie_r32 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I would make the journey to Horsham developments, it's only 1:45 min or so and we'll worth it, he can also sort your alignment out as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
