Weird things at DEALER
Was at the dealer today changing Drive Belts, Oil and FSB Links. Total $257. Not bad., love the dealer. Of course I had to ***** like a baby.
Anyways., two interesting things I thought were interesting.
My Nissan Dealer is using a Mazda 6 as the courtesy ride. Weird NO.
I changed my OIL and they used Mobil and that is all they use... Do all Nissan Dealers use Mobil? Or is my Mazda driving dealer just weird.

I'm just glad I have a good friend with his own auto shop.

But yes, it seems strange that a Nissan dealer would be advertising to customers a different car company. Does the owner of the Nissan dealership own a Mazda dealership also?

A lot of times they just run you around in whatever used rig is on the lot and has gas in it. Some dealers have a special vehicle like a minvan with their logos on the side that is actually courtesy shuttle, but not all. I think of the four dealerships in my town, only two have dedicated shuttles.
My Nissan dealer is also a Ford dealer, so when they change the oil in my wife's QX4, they use Motorcraft oil in it. The QX4 is a PITA to change the oil and the service manager is a friend of my dad's so I just go in there and waste the $20.

No dealership is required to use any one brand of oil. We used to have Castrol products here and just switched to Mobil. I'm sure the Mazda was a trade in that they got for a steal, and decided to use it for a while as a courtesy then sell it later for a profit. Why waste a good car like a Nissan for a courtesy.

I would be happy if I could get all of that done at the dealer for under $300, but I can't. Thats why I work on my own car. You are lucky to get any car as a loaner. Around here they drop you off and pick you up in a min van, and give you a $500 bill when you get there.
