bounty78 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 To all the Zed owners who live in mansfield or close to mansfield area. Avoid Evans Halshaw Nissan in Mansfield on Southwell Rd West at all cost. They know nothing about the Zed. All they are good at is changing the breaks, oil filter and ticking the MOT checklist of OAP's cars like Micra etc. My 350z has been sat outside their workshop for few weeks as they keep saying the parts are on back order. And when they do finally arrive after god knows how long..they have ordered the wrong parts! . And the people in the Service desk are not very helpful. They do not ring you back everytime you have left a message. And they are incredibly elusive. They are always out of their desk and when they do get your messages..they do not return your calls. And these woman at the SERVICE desk don't even know anything about the engine..that's reassuring. They charge 80pounds an hour excluding VAT for labour. You are far better off going to an independent garage. You have been warned. Dissatisfied and disgusted Z owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Ouch sounds like any other Nissan dealer !! Lockwood and Greenwood Manchester have always been good and surprisingly Westway Nissan in Oldham - but thats not much use to where you are is it ?

Arkwright Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I've posted about them and their ridiculous service prices before. They are absolute crap. How you can even buy a car there is a mistery to me the salesmen totally ignore you and if you are rude enough to approach them they scrutinize a pile of papers they dragged out of a door when you walked in and hope you walk away. I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty78 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Not really matey. It's couple of hours away. Found a garage called Dragon Engines in Chesterfield. They build engines for a living and they do Service and MOT as well. Will let everyone knows if they are any good a bit later in the week. It's difficult to find an independent Nissan specialist in the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area as I have found out. Would be nice if anyone from around this area could share their experience.

Would be nice if anyone from around this area could share their experience. Yeah I'd be interested in finding somebody in the area who does good work with the Zed. At the moment I take mine back where I got it from .... Westway Stourbridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty78 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hi Arkwright..I am new to this forum. Hence i have not seen your post before. Have only just joined few days ago. No...i didn't purchase the car from them. It came from Loughborough. You are right..the salesmen look just as shrewd as the people at the service desk. I am definitely putting in a complaint. Not going to let this go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bounty78 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 hi dawn...thanks. I wish you the same with your car. I am keeping my fingers crossed with this garage in Chesterfield. Have been without a car for 3 weeks! It's driving me nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 there are still some decent garages out there but seem to be hard to find though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
