Greetings from North Alabama

[Bertquist]

Hello folks

Bought a 2011 Altima Coupe new in Feb 2011, its a pearl looking white color(sorry dont recall name of paint color)
3.5SR, CVT with blonde leather/wood trim interior and dealer added Nissan rear spoiler, now has approx 12,000 miles.

Love the car(its my wifes car)but I love it too...

I think I am going to start a thread about how the local dealership cant even change the oil and rotate the tires without damaging the car

Roll Tide!

Welcome!
What part of the car did the dealership inflict damage on?

[AlexN09]

Watch out, another white coupe everybody!!!

Yours looks really great!

[Bertquist]

Overfilled oil when changing oil

Scratched hell out of wheel

Also put a tinly little chip on the steering column right in the line of sight, when they were removing the horn button/air bag cover from steering wheel.

Bert

Roll Tide!

[AlexN09]

Dangggg! Did they fix any of this?

[Bertquist]

I drained the oil out till I got it to correct level, it was actually a couple more ounces than whats in the bottle. I guess the idiot just dumped 6 quarts in it.

I worked on the wheel but it aint gonna buff out.

The stealership supposedly ordered new horns. When the horns are repaired I am going to show to manger. I am sure they wont fix but oh well. If they replace the wheel fine if not, well ok then....life goes on.

The lesson from all this is I should change the oil and rotate the tires on this car to avoid the clowns that want to smear there greasy little meat beater prints all over the blonde leather interior and frack up the whole car

Aww not good. You're supposed to trust stealerships with your car lol.
DIY from now on?

Hey Bert! Seems you're in my neighborhood sir. What dealer did you take it to?

[BamaCoupe]

Hey Bert; Rolltide, so what part of North Alabama you at? Also the local Nissan folks (mostly Z's and G's) have monthly meets you should come to so I won't be the only A/C there. I'll PM you the link later if Xenon hasn't already.

[Bertquist]

Hey Bert! Seems you're in my neighborhood sir. What dealer did you take it to?

Nissan of Gadsden

Thanks for any tips.

Don't bother repairing the stocks man. Sooner or later you'll get bored and you'll start looking for new wheels..

6 quarts??? i think the 3.5 is only supposed to take like 4.75 with new filter.

A place here in Huntsville does great work called Wheel-Fix-It; They repainted a set of Rays 350Z Track wheels for me that the previous owner had powder coated white and they did a great job, but if you're in Gadsden you probably wouldn't won't to come all the way to Huntsville. There's got to be someone local to you that does wheel repair or maybe in Birmingham, and again Roll Tide.

BTW; would I know you from any Bama forums?

[Irvxing]

Brand new coupe.
They smudged the tan interior, scratched the wheels, overfilled the oil.
I would make them give me a free complete detail. Free wheel refinish and a side of a** whooping.
I flipped when the car wash guys scuffed up my wheel, which i had driven on for about a year without a single blemish.
Altima coupes are bad luck i tell ya.

[Bertquist]

Dealer is going to replace both the horns Thursday and they will look at the wheel to see if it can be fixed, er what.

I dont see them fixing the wheel, much less replacing it.
I just hope they dont screw something up while replacing the horns.
I looked around on here for info on replacing the horns buy really did not find anything helpful.
Was going to swap the horn relay out but there is not another that type to use...

I still find it hard to believe both horns failed at same time.

(side bar: some fellow in a black A/C 3.5SR was trying to stay with me (09 C6 coupe) getting on I-59 in Asheville today....he had the Altima wound up pretty good
