Edenvale Nissan het my baie gehelp vir parte wat en nodig gehad het!

Kempton I/C Nissan gee my baie probleme om parte vir my te kry en hulle kry die verkeerde parte ook.

Hi Chaps,

I haven't been able to read all the comments - just opened the thread. I am one of those that have marked "excellent".

John du Toit Nissan in Lichtenburg (NW), and specifically Arrie, workshop manager, have given me excellent service since my old '85 Safari Patrol landed here from Limpopo in 2011. He has managed to keep it running smoothly and has always been able to find genuine parts for the mechanics - without knowing about Dawid I believe!

Prices - yes, it's been costly. But that is a Nissan issue, not dealership. I drive a Navara 2.5 td as well, and when I had to replace the injectors and turbo in one go (ouch!), they really helped to keep costs down by sourcing the turbo from Nissan's supplier direct and matching the Bosch quote for injectors. Might be because I am a long-time client, but I find their service excellent, real platteland familiarity.

That's my :mytwocents: worth. So, if you can drive to the middle of nowhere for it, it might just be worth a shot! :thumbup:

Nissan Tygervalley is n big no vir Patrols.

My kar was in vir 195k diens. Nou geen krag and my engin mis as revs bo 3krpm gaan. Hulle hou vas dit is nike wat hulle gedoen het nie.

Aircon belde daar vervang laas jaar, nou skreeu dit iets verskriklik - hulle hou voor my Onderstel is geroes dis hoekom Die belt nou Skreeu en kort weer nuwe belde (na 15 000km)

Sal kyk of ek my voertuig by Frans kan kry

Dis my 2de Slegte experience met n Nissan dealer. Ek verban nou Nissan om aan my Trol te vat.
