My dealer is usually very competitive with maintenence prices and gave me huge discount quotes on NISMO exhaust and suspension. (I'm considering nismo shocks on swift springs). I can't really post the actual price but its hundreds lower than your internet guys with no shipping costs. Hail storm happened on a Wednesday, service appt was for Tuesday. And a bunch of other great services they provide me. Of course I'm a repeat customer. But with time they have been more loyal instead of vice versa. Which a lot of dealerships end up doing. 2 bad experiences in 5 years and they were quickly rectified and was vouchered free synthetic oil changes of my choice of oil along with free handwah, vacuum and tire dressing.. I really can't complain.

I really think those that paint all the dealerships with the same brush may be unnecessarily cutting out a good option. The dealership I bought my car from was great on price, great on service but absolutely horrible on the delivery of cars. So I get my car serviced at a different dealership.

The second dealership may have been good on price when buying the car, they just didn;t have ehat I wanted. What they did that impressed me was be up front about the wait time when I showed up. It seems they had 2 techs call out that day. Then I had a question about some "extra" parts that were in the hatch area of the car when I bought it. It turns out that these parts were the front air dam and the two air deflectors for the front tires that the original dealership "forgot" to install. They installed them for free. I know it wasn't a whole lot of time but this was my first visit and I didn't even buy the car there.

Dealerships also are the first to know about recalls and other information about our cars. Chances are if you build a good relationship with them they'll take care of you in these matters.

I really like my dealership. Great place to relax while they service . Coffee, TV, clean and friendly people everywhere.. I enjoy the visits.

dealership i leased the Z from was the worst experience ever, they tried to play detective work to approve me for the loan and then come up with extra fees after the initial signature. Almost fought the general manager after a crazy verbal outlash when he passed me around his payroll guys playing games, disrespecting me to the highest degree.

A bunch of lowlives that raise my bloodpressure and make me rage

I have a great relationship with my dealership. They are very competitive on pricing and want to learn about the 370Z so the Service Mgr is quick to help out. He actually is the one that changed my hatch springs several years ago. I think he is a subscriber of this site and monitors for our input.
