Do you tip your service advisor?

Z-Girl 12

When I had my Infiniti for four years I kept the same service technician, he always made sure I had a nice loaner and everything was covered by my warranty. I brought him a six pack of Michelob Ultra Lights everytime and I always bought my service advisor a batch of cookies. I haven't been to my Nissan dealership, I heard they suck and try to screw you so I doubt very seriously we will form any kind of relationship. The fact that they wanted $45k for my Z and wasn't willing to budge showed me how my service relationship would go. Didn't buy the car from them and doubt I'll let them do any major service.

Well, that depends. Not all the Nissan dealerships are bad. I have good relationship with both Infiniti dealership and Nissan dealership since I own both cars. Of course Nissan has their own rules, like no free loaner unless the car has to sit in their garage over night and so on. But since I am not being a d**k to them, they give me benefit time by time. I can get free loaner from them even for some small work. And the other day I lost my Xterra's key fob, the guy has a used one and he just gave it to me and reprogramed it. Yeah free. They also love my Z and they allow me to get into the garage to talk to the teches while working on my car. Afterwards the service manager always ask the guys to hand wash my car... So is Nissan dealership bad? It all depends. And it also depends on how you act like when you walk into the door.

The tech guy before anyone else. Dealership charges you
85 to 90 bucks an hour. You think the tech guy gets that much
an hour. No way

Wow, you do have it good with your Nissan dealership, well I'll see how my first oil change goes with them LOL. But my Infiniti Tech has done all the mods to my Z so far. Definitely keeping that relationship going!

Yes keep bringing in the 6 pack and cokies(but don't get the guy too drunk to work on your car)! And I hope the Nissan dealership will treat you right too.
