Willowdale Nissan. If you're taking it for service, talk to steve. He's a great guy.

Care to share the current dealership you're visiting?

Morningside Nissan. Haven't taken my car in for an oil change yet but the place seems shady and not trustworthy. I just want to take my car to some dealership for service where I have some faith in them, even if if means I have to travel some reasonable distance to get it done. The general new car sales manager is an idiot. When I discovered and brought to his attention that there was supposed to be a plastic for the flat tire (a feature found only on roadsters), he tried to convince me that it was only for the coupe. I even showed him the picture from the owner's manual where the car had no roof but he kept saying it's the picture of the coupe.

Likely too much of a drive for you - but I have had great service from Oakville Nissan. Quick clean and knowledgable - I am sticking with the Nissan reco'd oil - Ester. No it is not cheap - but I have waited along time for my Zed and a little extra cost to keep her in top shape is good. Almost one year old and 5000klm.

I know what you mean. It's hard for me to trust any dealership myself. Most deny issues when they're clearly problems that need to be fixed. They kiss your a55 up to the point you hand over the cash for the sale. After that's done, it's downhill haha. This happened with my previous Acura TSX.

But I got my car from Avenue Nissan and they've been good, so I go back for service. I've had no issues with them to date and they're very polite. The only thing I dislike is the service hours. They don't open on weekends and they close pretty early on weekdays.

I've been working with the guys at Oakville to bring a car in from Alberta and they are awesome to deal with. And last weekend, they were blowing out a couple of 2009 Z's, Black and Yellow, at amazing prices. Sometimes you get a good feel in a dealership and I got it from Oakville. My plan is to be at Z fest in Brantford......keeping my fingers crossed that I can bring another Ontario Z to the show...hoping the timing works out....gonna be close!!!

As for Morningside, read my other thread for my opinion on them.

If I have a Z, I'll be there, if not, I'll be waiting for the next gathering. I hate signing up for stuff before I know if I'll be there or not. Don't want to commit before I know if I'll have the car.

I recommend that you do it yourself even if you have to do an oil change in a parking lot. It's not difficult.

I have got my car from Avenue Nissan as well; however, from my experience they are by far the worst Nissan dealer at least in GTA. Of course I got my car from them because of the deal I got, but the sales person I dealt with, with the name of Walter Sherman is completely incompetent and ignorant. He was not familiar with the car or any of its features at all and could not describe anything I asked him. This car is keyless, he started it and turned it off while in “Drive” position, once that happed he couldn’t figure out how to restart it or shift it back to “Park”. He will do anything to avoid offering a test drive or a so called courtesy car while your car is in service overnight despite promises before sales. The service staff are as unknowledgeable as he is. They did not know the difference between a standard and syntactic oil and arguing for 10 minutes that synthetic oil does not come as 5W30 hence not recommended for my car which is false, they do come as 5W30 and it’s just a matter of preference to use synthetic over standard and this has nothing to do with the type of car you drive. Anyways; I am not trying to push my opinions on anyone but I have other friends at work having similar experiences with Avenue Nissan. I would avoid this dealership all together either for sales or service and I hope Nissan Canada notices these shady dealers and takes action just because I think they have an excellent product in Nissan and it’s sad to see the experience of getting a new car ruined by these types of people.

I think we should make a list of Nissan Dealerships we should avoid. What do you guys think? We should spread the word and give these shady dealerships a lesson to learn.
