              Answered
              On Feb 28 2024 I brought my 2021 Rouge in for service. After the service and oil, filter were done I left and drove home about 3 miles. ****** up my wife and headed up the Parkway about 18 miles and the car was smoking. Pulled in to the rest area and all the oil was running out all aver the parking lot ******* pan was empty. the oil plug came out. Had it towed back to Pinebelt Nissan in Toms river. all I got for answers was excuses. When I came back home after dropping the car off I now see oil stains on a 3 year old driveway. Brought the car back to the dealer after they said it was fixed and cleaned because the oil smell was still under and inside the car. This was no easy task dealing with this dealer service ***** At the end I was told things happen. we are sorry and thank you for being a costumer. After I have been a loyal costumer for 22 years and 7 cars later with ******** in ******* **, Toms River service has failed me more then once. It Is not some place I would recommend. I say this because I know what they did and did not do. I was a certified auto mechanic for years. The excuses they are giving me are not acceptable. There was no compensation even offered for all in inconvenience and trouble they caused for 3 days. Poor way to treat people.

              Pine Belt/Nissan Dealership. Toms River, Rte 37. My husband finally settled on a truck for him to buy on Tuesday, May 29, *****. We met with and agreed to ********************* to finalize the paperwork on Thursday June 1,2023, since I had a medical issue that necessitated my need to see a doctor on Wed, May 30,2023. We received a phone call on our answering machine while at the dr confirming the meet up for Thursday. My husband returned the call, agreeing to see them the next day. Meanwhile we picked up the title for the car that he was trading in, expecting to finalize the paperwork today. He also took the time to dismantle a kayak rack from his truck. He called again this morning to ensure the car would be ready for pickup. My husband also told **** if there were any changes, to give him a call. We get there? Met **** and he said..**** be right back. We get our coffee and what does he and the dealership instead do? They rolled out a different inferior dirty truck clearly needing to be cleaned. Huh? I asked the manager what happened? He whispered to meWe screwed up. Please leave. I never in all my years have ever seen such shoddy service. This bait and switch tactic was so blatantly poorly executed. I WAS EXPECTING to buy a car myself next year from them. NO WAY will I buy from this dealer!We visited another Nissan Dealer, Manahawkin **. We told them our experience with the Toms River Dealership. We didnt realize that both are not under same ownership. Whats ugly? They told us that other customers have voiced the same situation but never complainedso Im letting you know. In the end, our seller, ***************************, in Manahawkin ensured my husband was treated with respect and gave him the car he wanted all along. Thank you, ***************************.
