I had the worst experience dealing with Mike Reege...
I had the worst experience dealing with Mike Reeger. I live in Baltimore, MD and drove by hundreds of dealerships before I made my purchase at Porter Nissan in Newark, DE. I searched high and low for a particular car, found that car at Porter Nissan. My salesman Eric, was great, very professional. I purchased a 2007 Nissan Maxima on Saturday, September 20th but couldn't drive the car home that day because it was filthy and two tires needed to be replaced. I was able to pick the car up on Monday, September 22nd. I had the car inspected in MD on Saturday, Sept 27th; it failed MD state inspection (you know minor things like BRAKES [metal to metal] and TIRES, yeah right); the repairs had to be completed by Porter Nissan Service Center. Not even two weeks after having this car in my possession, I asked that they look at two additional items (as a car owner, who JUST purchased a USED car who had concerns). Well, because the car had so many miles on it, no extended warranty was available. Initially, the service center was advised by Mike Reeger NOT to complete the request/concerns I had (outside of the MD inspection repairs). After having a back and forth conversation with Mike Reeger, he finally agreed to inform the service dept to look into my concerns/request. Mike Reeger advised me on Friday, October 4th, that he would have the service center look at what my concerns were, but he would need to keep my car until Monday. I reluctantly agreed (they had my car for two full days and could have looked into what my concerns were within those two days) I called that Monday at 3:20 pm to check on my car. The service department informed that they weren't advised to continue on with my concerns. I called Mike Reeger to find out what was going on and he danced around this situation like a cat on a hot tin roof! After more back and forth with him, he finally admitted that he "dropped the ball" by not informing the service dept to look into the things that I previously requested (they could have looked into it on either Friday, Saturday or Monday). I asked, well because you "dropped the ball" what could be done for me...he told me, oh we're doing you a courtesy right now, by diagnosing your request! I then said, please call me when my car is done. I NEVER received a call from Mike Reeger. A week later, I still have yet to receive a copy of the repair order stating what repairs where completed by the service department.
I hope that when I give the dealership the certificate stating that the car FINALLY passed MD state inspection, they will honor my request by obtaining the Chesapeake Bay tags I asked for when I met with Mr. Porter in the finance department.
