I don't how they do it, but their price for parts on repairs is higher than the listed MSRP per Nissan's parts list. Each time I have mentioned this to them, they say that I must have looked up the old price list (almost any Nissan dealership that sells parts online has a price list, showing the actual MSRP and their discounted price). Whenever they have not had the part in stock, they will special order it, and then fail to call me that the part is in - this has happened perhaps three or four times already.
An unusual pet peeve of mine - here in the midwest, no one uses the parking brake. I grew up in San Francisco so out of habit I use the parking brake every time I park. I've seen the valet/jockey drive off in my vehicle without releasing the parking brake on multiple occasions, so I have to make a special effort to not set the brake when I leave the car with them. I HATE the feeling of the car rolling against the parking pawl - that is not what the system was designed to do! Naturally when I pick up the vehicle, the parking brake is never set. Yes, a strange thing I dislike, but c;mon folks, the parking brake should be used whenever you park - that is what it was designed for.
If your car is under warranty, sure take it to the dealer. However, I'm not sure I've really gotten an honest vibe from this place despite taking my vehicle here for repairs over the past nine years.
