Baaaaad day

i used to work at a dealership and it was recommended practice at that dealership to do a (short) test drive before and after to see what the vehicle was doing alignment wise (as in pulling to the left or right, steering wheel off center, etc) and then confirm it was fixed with the alignment process (yes it should be but it's possible to still be slightly off if one of the sensors was slightly off kilter. having said all that, our test drive route was less than a mile and was a combination of rough and new roads so you could see what all the manners of the car were on a variety of surfaces.

I so mistrust my dealer in town here(wife has a Maxima so two Nissans), I take a day off work and drive 30 miles West to a dealer I trust and even then stay there until it is done. Noone can take a 19 mile joy ride when you sitting in the wating room looking out over the garage entry and exit.

Thanks again everyone for all of the feedback.

I too have decided against repainting the rock chip out of the bumper, unless the entire bumper is repainted, which as of right now seems unlikely. We'll see how it goes once I talk to the general manager. I am going to talk to the owner/general manager on Monday and let him know how I feel.

I am basically going to tell him I will never buy or take my car there again after this.

The more I think about it, the more angry I get knowing somebody was ragging out my car for 20 miles up and down the freeway.

Will keep you all posted.
