New to Australia and am amazed how crappy the service has been on my new Navara. New from Townsville and after about 500km L.R wheel was coming loose. After1000 Km I decided to check tire pressure to find it still had the 80 PSI put at the factory. No PDI was completed properly. 10,000 service at another Nissan dealer and asked if they could drain the fuel filter to make sure there was no water. No, that would require another appointment so they could send it out to a diesel shop, so I just drained it my self on their lot when I picked it up. Tires were also out of balance, and that also would require a separate appointment for vehicle to be sent out. Just stopped at a local tyre shop and they gladly balanced them for me.
Now for the ultimate insult. I just got the 20,000 service done in Bundaberg and they spilled oil all over everything and got oil in the cab. My new Navara smells like a 20 year old work ute. I will be back to them tomorrow to see what can be done to get the oil stench out of the vehicle. May be a new truck for me.
Coming from Canada where service is a big deal, with high standards, to have an endless list of BAD service is a worry. Is this typical of all makes, and dealers in Australia? Would Toyota be better? I love this vehicle, but if crappy service is the norm with Nissan it will be gone. Sigh.
