I went to Baker Nissan on Saturday, January 11, 2014 because there was a recall on one of the parts of my Nissan X-terra I didn t know about, until recently, when I started having problems with the car. The person that was assigned to me was Christina Martinez; she was very unpleasant and rude. When I told her the issue and informed her of the recall, she literally started arguing with me, stating there was no recall on my car. I just asked her if she could please check in the system and she gave me an attitude and kept arguing with me, without even checking the service history on the vehicle. I never been to a business that an employee will argue with the customer. She needs to learn how to talk and treat customers. She definitely need people skills. Luckily there was a gentleman, Baker Nissan employee, which was close by and saw the whole incident and offered to help. His name is Shaun Hazeley. He was very nice and seemed to be very knowledgeable about Nissan cars and technical issues with Nissan cars. He was aware of the recall on a relay for 2006 Nissan X-terra. He verified that the relay had been replaced on my vehicle last year when I took my car to the dealership for an oil change. He listened to me and agreed that the symptoms on my car where the same as when the relay that had been replaced is faulty. After being witness to the previous incident with the other customer representative he tried to make up for the mistake she had made and offered to waived the inspection fee if I was interested in leaving the car that day, Saturday, and have it checked next Monday. I agreed to leave the car and wait for a diagnose next Monday. On Monday Mr. Hazeley called me saying that the technicians were checking the car and still couldn t find what the problem was, even though they were able to replicate the problem. He asked for me to be patient and wait until the techs come up with a diagnose. Tuesday past and still Baker Nissan techs weren t able to identify the problem. On Wednesday Mr. Hazeley called saying that the techs were not able to come up with a definite diagnose, but they had the theory that the problem was due a bad gasoline in the tank. He said they would charge about $500 plus taxes to empty the gas tank and clean the gasoline lines and injectors, but he said that there was no guarantee that this would fix the problem. With no hope of finding any other mechanic that could help, after all Nissan mechanics should know Nissan cars, right? , I agreed to this experiment. I picked up my car next Wednesday. Total cost: $533.08, with no guarantees that my car is reliable to drive. After I drove it the next morning, I heard noises coming from the bottom of my car, after I stopped and checked, I noticed that there are about 6 screws missing that hold plastic and metal parts together, that wasn t like that before I took my car to Baker Nissan . I don t want to take my car back to Baker Nissan, because they might charge me another couple of hundred dollars to put back the screws that they forgot to install.
Over all, this was a bad experience. It was a bad first impression, then technicians weren t able to find the problem, then they forgot to put screws back. The only positive thing of all this was Mr. Shawn, he tried to help, but unfortunately the rest of the operation is not of much help. I would not recommend Baker Nissan for any kind of service. I could ve given them the benefit of the doubt on the diagnose, but forgot to put screws back?
