Rev light stall on AT

mishuko · 05-28-2015, 10:41 AM

they will joy ride it for a few miles or so. did you check your mileage and take note?

also this would definitely be a great time to see the codes to know if the dealership is a stealership or infact the rare breed of honest service.

Well I would go to RAD but I'm using my warranty since it's free, and yes I took note of the mileage

I usually try to make it really obvious to the dealer that I'm anal about the car. I take the photo of the mileage right in front of the service advisor and make sure they know there is no unauthorized mileage to be put on the vehicle. I tell them to call me if there is any need to drive the car - I know people that have even gone so far as to record this conversation using video record on their phone (TX is one party consent state - check your local laws).

Sadly free hardly ever means good or quality. Most techs at the dealers hardly ever see a Z or GTR. You get what you pay for!

True, but if I need repairs or a huge replacement RAD wouldn't pay for that, NISSAN however is liable to replace any parts. Even if I brought it to RAD first, the most they can do is diagnose it, if I needed a new transmission why would I go out pocket for that, it's NISSAN responsibility.

Probably easier to find ice in the desert, than to find a dealer who wants to pay for a transmission replacement:P

I know people are often against this, but if you do your homework you can find decent non-Nissan warranties. I got one through my credit union very competitively priced up to 100K miles bumper to bumper with zero deductible. I will be getting a new transmission here soon (5th and 6th gear synchros are going out) at no cost to me and having Kevin at Austin Z Clinic do the work. Bonus: his shop is literally in my neighborhood.

Even stuff normally covered at all under warranties are covered with a $500 deductible. In hindsight, I probably should have used this to have Kevin do my CSC/CMC last year. But I saved $100 by purchasing Z1's kit and installing it myself (with help).

What is this said warranty and what is the deductible on it?
