I was in and out in a timely manner and I was able to get a lot of work done in their lobby. I also enjoyed the free coffee! I will be back even though this dealership is very far from my home. I won't trust anyone else.

First, the only positive note ... Service Advisor Lorelei is a genuine asset to the organization. They need more like her. We are long-time Sterling McCall Nissan customers, having purchased approximately twelve vehicles, in addition to referring several friends and family members. Our history makes this recent experience particularly painful.
In need of a smaller EV due to my wife's disability, we purchased a 2023 Leaf in February. All went well for the first couple of months, including charging it twice at home.

First, the only positive note ... Service Advisor Lorelei is a genuine asset to the organization. They need more like her. We are long-time Sterling McCall Nissan customers, having purchased approximately twelve vehicles, in addition to referring several friends and family members. Our history makes this recent experience particularly painful.
In need of a smaller EV due to my wife's disability, we purchased a 2023 Leaf in February. All went well for the first couple of months, including charging it twice at home. We've had EV's for the past four years with no issues. This last attempt to charge the car resulted in an error message. Research revealed a couple of possibilities, so we took it to Service. We explained the problem to Lorelei, who made certain that she understood the issue completely.
A couple of hours later, we received a call from her, asking for information on our home charger, which, incidentally, we've had for several years with no problems, including charging our other EV. We complied, and received a call back from the technician, who stated that, "You have to use the charger that comes with the car." Huh??? We can only use a 110V cable?? Ridiculous!! So how can it be explained that we were able to charge the car with our 220V unit until this one time? We picked up the Leaf after they were unable to duplicate the matter. For giggles, I also tried that 110V charger ... same error message. Note that while plugged into the Leaf, our home charger indicated all was normal (green lights blinking sequentially, display reading "Charging"). I disconnected it from the Leaf and hooked it up to my other EV ... charged it to 100%.
I next called Service, spoke with a manager, who stated that there must be a problem with the vehicle, and apologized for us having to bring it back. Lorelei had apparently been informed, and stated that the car will be headed for their charger again. Frankly, I wasn't the most courteous after hearing that (for which I am profusely sorry), given that they couldn't find the problem when they did the same thing last time. As before, after hooking up the vehicle to several cables, they couldn't determine the cause. My question to them: If my equipment is functioning as intended, but the car is not, where does the problem lie? Given that four EV's have used that same cable without incident, the answer should be apparent, but they had none.
At this time, we concluded that we simply couldn't trust the vehicle (especially for a disabled individual), but a traditional trade transaction would likely cost me about $7k. I asked to speak with the General Manager, something I was able to do previously here. One even worked the floor helping our friend's son purchase his first car. This time, the Service Manager advised me that the GM "is not available." Funny, I saw him in his office just a moment before. For the umpteenth time, I explained the issue to yet another person. While waiting for the vehicle to be pulled up, he approached me and stated that Nissan Tech Support wanted to see a photo of the connection at my home, along with a video of me charging the Leaf. It's a standard 14-50 outlet, installed by a licensed electrician ... they can see all they want of them at Home Depot. And am I too stupid to charge a vehicle incorrectly? Once again, the cable operates as it should, and charges any other EV without incident, so there must be a compatibility issue with the car, making it useless to us.
Lorelei apparently heard the discussion and brought a salesperson over to talk with me about a replacement vehicle. Of course, he can't make any decision about resolving the matter of my taking a bath on the trade, but I appreciate her effort on our behalf. The salesperson advised me that there was no appropriate car available at any Group 1 dealership in the area, so the discussion was fruitless.
Thanks to another dealer, we didn't take that big a loss, but we're done with SMcC!!
I never take my car anywhere else for service. Megan always takes time to explain everything to me and is so personable.
Service in the past was better...today was ok...Service advisor was not focus or just overwhelmed im assuming but we all have off days...so 4 stars today
Walter had great Customer Service service He helped me on all my concerns He even set me up for Service I needed Thank you Walter
The service department is a professional, well run team who truly want to help you and provide a customer first atmosphere.
We bought Nissan Pathfinder and Rouge from this dearlership for its location and after sale service.
Was a tad bit over whelmed but I think I was just exicted. Easy, didnt try to upsell or have me pick a differnt car.
Like the way you help customers, and the waiting time for the repair process! I’m very satisfied with nissan dealership service! Thank you so much!!
I took my vehicle to another shop and they did not repair what I told them what was wrong. I took it to Sterling McCall and they found the problem and fixed it with no problems.
Concerned professional care for my Vehicle. The discussion and video with Douglas was useful in making our decision.
Chris is a great person to do business with. He gives you all the time and information to make the right choice for you. He made a potentially stressful situation stress free. I am happy with my purchase and the price!
Great Service department. Took my 2023 Nissan Sentra to be serviced this morning as it was an in out visit. Plus my car washed.
Joel is a nicer person that help me find out my car need to fix engine crack is importantly information.
Douglass was great and informative from the time I arrived from the time I left. He kept me updated on the status of my vehicle.

My agent Nikita Lee, made my visit to Sterling McCall an excellent decision. She kept me informed and very nice. Also, the most important thing was my car was fix in a reasonable time. Great job Mechanic and thank you Sterling McCall for a excellent service.
I slightly hit roadside guardrail and the steering wheel was off-center, dropped off my car for repair in the morning. the service lady said alignment would fix the problem.
no one contacted me the whole day so i went in the afternoon, the service guy said alignment was done and struts bent, suggest for replace. he charged me the service for alignment then i figured out the steering wheel was still not straight.
then they said the steering wheel cannot be adjusted because of blabla. I was not satisfied but they refuse to refund or discount, the manager said sorry ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - Apr 9, 2025
