Got a free loaner car from Nissan dealership

forza370z · 11-15-2012, 09:20 PM

Today I brought my Z to the Nissan dealership for some warranty works. Replacing brake hardwares, brake pads, refurbish brake rotors. Total about 3 hours work. The guy gave me one day rental from Hertz and told me Nissan will pay for it. I am very impressed. Of course that dealership is very friendly to me. I bring in 2 of my Nissan viecles for services all the time.

I know Infiniti gives me free loaner everytime I ask them work on my g35. Does Nissan have the same policy? Or it's just because I am very close to those service managers?

It's the dealership, not Nissan. Good dealers will give out loaners.

Sounds like I am gonna bring in some donuts next visit.

Yep, I get a free loaner when mine is in for service as well, but I only just noticed that I get charged another $20 for the cost of the service ............. over the "capped priice" .....

bollocks ............

I am schedule to take my car in on my baby's due date (most baby doesn't come out on the actual day). I had asked them for a loaner car so I can drive home (20 miles), they won't give it to me. I guess I can't ask for too much, at least they are actually trying to fix the problem this time.

I was at Lexus a month ago with my wife's car, got a brand new $45K car to drive. I guess you get what you paid for.

u guys are so lucky. My experience with Nissan dealerships sucked really bad.

When I decided to buy the Z instead of the M1 coupe... I went toa total of 4 Stealerships and they said they can not and will not let me test drive a Z, even if they had one on the lot. They made up so many excuses such as: "We can't let you cause we can't put too many kms on a new car" "You got to order one from Japan first." "You have to put down a down payment." "we can't let you test drive that one cause it's the manager's car" BLAAH BLAAH BLAHH.....

I was like... Seriously?! "No problem i can put down a down payment of how much you want" "So you expect me to buy the car without a test drive or seeing it?" "man its just a nissan." wtf??

Last stealership(at this point I was about to reconsider) I went to was the one in burnaby where I met a sales associate who was pretty chill and talked to the manager for a while and i got a test drive in a black auto Z.

Everyone treated me like if i was some punk *** kid who just wana joyride... Slapped a bank draft down and ordered/bought a brand new 2012 pw sport pkg/navi.

Sorry about the rant. I'm pretty sure if you're in my shoes u would be pissed.

nmjaxx9 · 11-15-2012, 11:44 PM

so thats how they do it in canada

anyways yeah thats ghey, not letting you test drive a car is just as bad as buying the car and regretting buying it.

Glad to know atleast one dealership let you test drive.

boilermaker1 · 11-15-2012, 11:53 PM

Damn, makes you wonder if they even want to sell the car. I thought Canadians were supposed to be more hospitable.

No, its true. When I was looking for a 370 at a dealership the salesman was trying to tell me that they don't let people test drive this car and that someone offered to put down 20 grand to go for a test drive and they said no.

Its all a bunch of bull.

that sucks, im glad my experience was the exact opposite, when i asked to test drive my nismo Z they said sure and let me test drive it(after making sure i had a valid DL which is understandable)

the only reason why my test drive was short was because the car was out of gas(no lights on the gas gauge) but once they got the car filled up they let me have another run in it and i loved it and walked out that night with the car keys in hand

i guess it depends on the dealer really, one of my friends had the same problem when he was buying his FR-S, toyota wouldnt let him test drive it even though he had the down payment in hand ready to buy the car

Bullshite... Sorry, it's Nissan's policy, they'll pay up to 3 days for a loaner or rental... Now a 3 hour repair and giving you a rental, I bet a customer could just ask and they shall receive...

Now, hook up or being nice to the dealer pay dividends for people like me, I had a 10 day rental
