...was still under guarantee with Nissan and the paper work for that was included in a nifty case supplied by the company. The case also held the finance papers, car manual and the codes that we might need in the future. On returning home we did still have a couple of questions. So I rang Graeme who, I have to say, returned my call swiftly. He answered all the questions to my satisfaction. This was a rather nice touch and not a case of “we’ve done the ...
...on numerous occasions. I can’t praise his professional conduct enough. He didn’t employ the aggressive selling technique that some use and which would have been wasted on me, as I would have just walked away and not bought the car. Rather, he stated the facts then allowed us to make up our own minds and in our own time without any pressure. He even stressed originally that if we didn’t like or want the car then that was no problem, despite the trek ...

Review of Nissan

I purchased a new Nissian Micra from Reg Vardy (Small Heath), Birmingham about 5 months ago. At the time we were treated like royalty, but this soon changed once I took delivery of the vehicle. A few weeks after taking delivery of the car, the radio stopped working. I didn't think this was a major problem as it would be under its warranty. When I took the car in to Reg Vardy they took the radio out and told me it would take 2/3 days for a new replacement ...
...it would take 'till the end of the week and that I would not be getting a replacement radio, but my broken one was being repaired. Two weeks later, after several 'phone calls and broken promises I finally got my radio. Another startling problem occurred a few weeks after this. We purchased a new car because it came with 12 months free insurance. The sales man told my wife and me that the only condition for not receiving this was if either of us ...

Review of Nissan

As all car dealers are, Nissan were my best friend until they got my name and signature on that piece of paper. They could not do enough for me while I was looking. I told them what I wanted, the model, the colour and the engine size. They brought several models down from other dealerships in the group until I found one I was happy with. They convince you what a great deal they are doing for you. Knocking 500 pounds off the price that it was up for. ...
...which they agreed to. When it was all signed and ready to pick up, They could not be bothered with me. They did not "have time" to get the tax and instead gave me a cheque and asked me to get it myself! The cheek! I should have told them to stick their car but I didnt. Since then they have been useless when returning for services. Very poor customer service. ...

Review of Nissan

...I took it to another Nissan Main Dealer who fixed it straight away. Please note that Benfield even managed to blame a guage that fluctuates between full and 1/4 full in three miles on the fact the car had 17" alloys! The service/parts section is not much of a change from the showroom. They quoted a price on fitting something, and I was amazed to see the time charged for, and consequently the price, were well over what had been quoted for. Quite ...
...it down to quoting a Nissan book price, and actually wanting to provide a professional service. I can't disagree the parts were fitted brilliantly, but at a BIG premium to what I was expecting. A final nail in the coffin of Benfield Motors is when I picked up the car I had less than half a gallon of petrol in the car. Good job I only live six miles away! And they never paid up on the free service they offered me!!! ...

Review of Nissan

...I bought a second hand Nissan Primera from a main dealer in a big glass fronted show room. I was told that the car was in excellent condition and I paid a top price for it thinking that I would be safe buying from a reputable dealer. How wrong can you be? For a start they lost the service history of the car. It took 5 months of phoning every other week before a service history was produced. Secondly, they promised to fix some minor problems such ...
...whenever I took the car in to have it done the car would be returned to me with the work still outstanding. Finally, and most severe of all the paint work started to fail. It turns out that the car had been resprayed twice and a cowboy job done both times. This fact alone probably stripped £800 - £1000 off the value of the car when I eventually sold it. In short I feel conned. The customer service was abismal. I got sick of being confronted with ...

Review of Nissan

...does not look at the Nissan group as a whole, but Reg Vardy dealership in Leeds & the very incompetant fraudsters who seem to operate there. Up till recently we owned a Nissan Micra N reg. As keen drivers we always have it serviced & repaired as neccessary. My rather naive belief was you get what you pay for & that Dealership garages should be no expception. I don't mind paying extra for a first class service. Ohh no!! We took our car to have a ...
...the sales manager at the Nissan garage this time - He was very abrupt with her & stated he had told me in the garage the brakes had not failed the MOT - when my wife pointed out the MOT certificate said otherwise he was lost for words. I eventually phoned him back & my final comments were to say they were committing fraud by creating false jobs, vandals re our lights & incompetant. His final comment was to deny this & say "Well it's your word against ...

Review of Nissan

...whenever I passed my local Nissan dealership my eyes lit up. I longed to own one so one day I went along to have a proper look. After a few minutes a salesman approached me to see if I needed help and I then told him what I wanted and what my budget was. The salesman showed my exactly what I was looking for and went through all the features of the car. Needless to say, I was very impressed by how helpful this man was. Of course I needed my dad to ...
...that after that day I am a proud owner of a Nissan Micra Twister 1.0 and a few months after a bought my car, my dad went back to the same dealership and purchased a Nissan Almera (and the salesman even asked how I was getting on with Micra!) ...

Review of Nissan

...have had variable experience with Nissan dealers over the past 5 years. In 1996 I bought a 1994 Primera 1.6LX (see separate opinion) from Mark Kass in Waltham Cross, it was a great car let down by an unprofessional dealer and bitty problems that they didn’t sort out until legal action was threatened. I had several problems with the car which I pointed out when picking it up, such as a funny feeling clutch and and blown bulbs which they had ...
...got it sorted, even though Nissan Technical said there was no problem. Finally, when the car was 3.5 years old, and out of warranty the Gearbox bell housing was replaced free of charge, and a cheque for £312 pound arrived to cover a replacement clutch that the car had some months before due to the faulty part. Whist still in ownership of the 2.0GT I had a Primera 1.8 Sport as a company car for 5 months, this too was serviced at James Barr without ...

Review of Nissan

...Hopkins Colchester. We chose Nissan because we had a Nissan Sunny Coupe which had done 200000 miles and was still going strong, with hardly any rust. It came with extras such as cd changer, alloy wheels. I found that they sorted out the teething problems very well, although the loan car wasn't great, it was in need of a service, I was told on returning it. I have just booked it in with a problem with it losing water, and need to wait five days before ...
...I feel. During the sale, we were treated with respect, and shown all round the car on delivery. we did find the waiting around in the showroom somewhat annoying though one and half hours on one visit. The car runs on, but the only problem we have found is the turning circle on it is diabolical. Makes parking a nightmare. It is so bad in fact we took it to be checked out. For this reason alone, I would not buy another one. Makes life a strain for ...

...bought a 2½ year old Nissan Micra from the Nissan Sterling group in Ipswich. The service I get from the manager is reasonably good but could have been better. The car does not come with power steering which I actually wanted. I assume that all reasonably new Micras come with power steering but mine doesn't. The manager is keen on the deal but not pushy. After some negotiations, I managed to get him give me a half year road tax free. I thought he ...

My nissan micra is an excellent little runner, it is definetly teh womens car, teh steering is soft, but youd think it was poer steering. It is quite expensive, but well worth it, a reliable little thing. It is extremely eaay to manouver as its small. But if you buy a standard nissan micra, you will find simple accesories are missing, i.e. clocks, alarms. Can you imagine that the clock does not comme as standard. As nissan micras are generally small ...

Review of Nissan

I bought my Micra SE in March 2003, initially I was very impressed as the salesman was first class and the atmosphere at Williams Bridge convinced me that was the place to buy from. However I have had several faults with my car and they seem unable to sort them. On the last visit the service chap said they didnt have time to road test my car, to locate a squeak from suspension, as they have deadlines to meet! Still the car squeaks and trim rattles. ...
