AutoNation Nissan Tempe Parts Center

"Can I give negative stars? Both Boyd and Derrick are probably the worst customer service people I have ever met. I have had three Nissan Frontiers and an Xterra. I loved them. But I will no longer be buying Nissan Products. A little back history, In 2018, I took my 2013 Nissan Frontier to AutoNation Nissan Tempe due to a fuel filler tube issue. There was a service bulletin about the problem. I printed it and brought it with me. Basically, it intermittently caused fuel to spray back out of the tank as you filled it. Derrick was a service person then. He did not check the filler tube instead he bilked my extended warranty company for everything he could think of including a new gas tank. Finally, after 2 years, he had an epiphany... He found the service bulletin and fixed the issue. Like it was his idea. Fast forward to 2023, I took my 2019 Nissan Frontier to the dealership I purchased it from due to an airbag warning light blinking. They were not a Nissan Dealership, but they did the diagnostic and confirmed it needed a new airbag sensor. But they couldn't do it since it had to be done at a Nissan dealership. They sent me to Auto Nation Nissan Tempe to have it fixed. I arrived at my scheduled service time only to be told that the person I was scheduled to meet for the repair was at lunch. So I got the "super-friendly" Boyd instead. In case you didn't hear my sarcasm, Boyd is the most unfriendly person I have met and was rude to me immediately. I told him I have had bad experiences at this location previously and he must have taken that as a challenge to make this experience even worse. He also informed me it would need another diagnostic since they could use the one from the original dealership. So I waited for 2 hours to complete it only to tell me what I already knew—the airbag sensor needed to be replaced. He said he would order it and text me when it was in. This was on a Wednesday. On Friday I received the text that the parts would be in on the following Tuesday. I called Monday and made an appointment for Wednesday. When I arrived Wednesday, Boyd rudely told me the part wasn't in. I took off work for this and my girlfriend rearranged her schedule to pick me up while they serviced it. I was not happy and another person, Rustin, said he would take over helping me. I asked to speak to the manager and low and behold, guess who the manager is... Derrick!! The same guy that gave me the 2 years run around on my previous Frontier. He said to make this right he would waive my extended warranty deductible and get the part asap. After 3 weeks I still hadn't received a text or call about installing the parts. I contacted Nissan Corporate and filed a complaint. After about a week of phone tag, I finally received a phone call saying they cannot do anything about Derrick and Boyd's behavior since they are an independent dealership. I was also informed that I am not welcome there. I know I am just one person, but companies should not treat people this way. Losing one person as a customer doesn't amount to anything to them so what do they care? But you as a consumer should do yourself a favor and avoid the service department at AutoNation Nissan Tempe."

"On hold for 30 minutes with no end in sight. I was hoping to get the status on an existing parts order, but I might have to get those parts elsewhere. Called later and received immediate pickup."

"I call to check if they have the parts i need for my car. The person who answer ask me to hold for a minute. It's been 40 minutes and I'm still on hold. It's a Saturday and i don't think they are busy, very frustrating."
