DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS - Baruch
DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. I recently bought a 2018 Nissan Rogue with 78,000 km on it from them. While negotiating with the salesman, I asked for a new set of tires to be included with the car. The salesman Michael (who was courteous I must say) assured me that given the number of km on the car, the original tires will most certainly have been replaced. "Besides" he said, "we are the original Nissan dealer in Toronto, and we have a reputation to uphold, so don't worry". When I requested to take the car to my mechanic for inspection, I should have seen the red flag waving madly. "Oh we don't do that any more. We had experiences with customers driving off with the car!" Did you ever hear such baloney?! I was desperate for a car, and the price was decent, so I ignored my misgivings. Then the Manager who finalized the deal with me, pressured me to buy the extended warrant package, which I firmly turned down. A few weeks later, I purchased a set of winter tires from my mechanic. He said to me, "the tires on the car are in terrible shape. They barely pass the safety inspection. One is on the borderline, and the others not much better". I contacted OMVIC who told me to get a letter from my mechanic as to the condition of the tires.
I then contacted Michael, who replied, "bring them in. Don't worry We'll take care of it."
Well, other than Michael who WAS courteous, all the so called "managers" who I was introduced to, with left a lot to be desired in customer relations. I said that I was misled into thinking I would be getting a good set of tires, and would not have agreed to the deal, had I known. "Well, it's your mechanics word against ours", was their reply. Seeing as to how I was getting nowhere, I informed them that I would be contacting OMVIC. They did not seem very concerned. "Go ahead, by all means", was their reply. Was this what Michael meant by "taking care of it"? Needless to say, I would not deal with them again, and I intend to pursue the matter with OMVIC.
Please do yourself a favour, and DO NOT DEAL with them. If you must, make sure you have everything in black and white. I for one would not even trust them for that.
