stealership
 

I know they get a bad wrap, but what are some items that are reasonable from them. I have seen like antifreeze, oil changes, and other items forum members have said. Can someone chime in on some good deals they have found.

The free coffee in the lounge (if you get it before mid-afternoon when it's already tepid and bitter.) Afraid that's about it.

free swirls? :ugh:

free breakfast, lunch with coffee and/or tea...plus free car washes for life. :tup:

As long as you purchased vehicle from dealership.

I once got popcorn and a hotdog :)

you're not gonna get a good deal at the dealership, they're there to make money, not give away bargains.

Perfectly said

Scratch Car Wash maybe. Their "Car Washes" comes with free scratches and swirls. :tup:

when i took my mom's lexus into the dealership i was with my gf.... they gave us a complimentary breakfast + snacks at their cafe.

last year when my dad got his car he got a discount on the f-package on his IS... literally paid for a base model for a the 2nd highest trim. lucky sob.

when i went to check out the CPO Z when shopping at a nissan dealership they stiffed me and wouldn't budge on the price.

the next time i went i ordered blade refills and they didn't register my order properly... had to wait an extra week.

not sure if infiniti would have had 'better service'.

i plan on ordering rotors and pads soon so now i know to get an order reference number to make sure it's been placed.

My wife took my Honda element in for the air bag recall , they called her a few hours later saying the car needed back brake pads and would do it at a discount rate of 150.00 :eek:

I knew it needed pads but had them on order , once I got the car home I swap them out

Hawk pads 60.00 and 20 minutes later I was done


Lexus dealership has free coffee Kriueg or how ever you spell it and pastries (bagged not fresh)

That's free :rofl2:

free toilet paper? .. :ugh2:

Honda dealer I just bought a new Accord from yesterday has a full service coffee bar. I had like 4 bottled waters throughout the day :ugh:

Free headache.

I'll go to the dealer for little things like bolts and washers if the cost of shipping ends up being more than the cost of the part.

:iagree:

I get clips, copper crush washers, and aluminum trans and diff washers at the dealer.

One time at the dealer I got a free brake fluid flush. Except I didn't authorize it, they flushed my 2-week old high quality brake fluid out for their crappy stock fluid, and then they had the gall to try and charge me for it :wtf2:

One time I got one of those free oil change coupons in the mail, got the oil changed, they came and told me I needed my brake system flushed for $113.71 an in cabin air filter for 78.54, and an alignment for 99.99. For a grand total of $328.05. I asked them if I looked like an idiot? Just the oil change and the free sub par coffee for me.

I wouldn't go to the dealer if I didn't have free maint. I do love taking my wife's Lexus in though! Free cookies, pastries, TV, soda, coffee, arcade, wifi, small putting green, and the waiting room is comfortable.

Dealer
 

i haven't darkened their doorstep since the day I took delivery. I will never go back there.

Pricing?
 

Any dealership that will not budge on the MSR price....walk away and find another one. Should be 10% off MSR, and none of that "paint protection" or etched vin numbers either.

I haven't gone back to the dealership since the day I bought the car. Don't plan on going back either because 1) didn't get it from a Nissan Dealership so don't know or if I should trust what the dealership will put into my car. 2) Don't want to have to deal with the idiotic service people trying to pivot sales of other parts lol. There is a reason why they are in service and not sales.

Plus sad to say the product they use for oem parts is just not the best. Before I had changed a bunch once I first had the car in late march, the car would run about 245F just normally. After about a week I changed the oil cause I had enough wondering whether or not it was just gonna shoot up. Put in Mobil1 Platinum Plus and then after that put in Mobil1 Prestige. Mobil1 being recycled oil as is, still has helped reduce oil temps by 5F-10F.

Since that I have put in my Mishimoto Thermostatic 19 row Oil Cooler (of which turns on at 190F) and put in Royal Purple synthetic oil and haven't broken 225F while pushing hard.

Of course the better way for the car will come out of pocket and not the stealership's. Just how it works with life. Want the nicer and better items gotta put the money down for it... unless you get sponsored.. lol

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

:icon18:

that was pretty good mr. kenchan

Free joy ride of your Z by your service advisor!

I always tell them, If you guys drive my car I want to be in the passenger seat. Man! They look at me weird lol :rofl2:

I had it happen...

the BMW dealership i used to go to was a pos. worst service ever. oh and they were douchie as hell. maybe she was on her...


that said it seems others have had good/decent experience with the rexus crub.

I once got pregnant.

That sucks! How'd you find out? Gotta get that valet mode engaged haha

:owned: :tup:
