Bought a 4th gen at a used car dealer last Sunday and I love it. Come from a background where I swapped a 3sgte into a celica gt and it was the only car I ever had for 9 years. Fun car to drive, but reliability was always an issue.

Now the max is my dd and I couldn't be happier. However, this Saturday I went to the parts dealer to get an oil filter and fuel filter (300zx one) at 4:30pm and they were already closed. Closed at 4pm on a Saturday. A little ridiculous if u ask me. Is it like this across the country or just here in California? There was another dealer that closed at 5pm, but I wouldn't have made it there in time.

Do all of these Nissan parts dealers close this early on a Saturday? They aren't even open Sunday. Now I got to wait all the way till next weekend to do my big maintenance overhaul to get her in dd shape.

 

Glendale Nissan closes at 7pm M-F and 6pm on Saturdays. It just sucks they don't open on Sundays.

 

No worries, I thought you were disappointed with the co., but I guess it's a particular dealership....

btw I used OEM religiously for about 12 years of my Maxima's life. Then one day my uncle borrowed it, and as a favor, he had the oil changed and used synth. Ever since then, I've used synth (it's not that much more from an absolute sense in $, yes it's a lot more %-wise still, but I feel the gap has closed), AND, I don't worry about the OEM filter anymore. As a matter of fact, for some reason on amazon.com the WIX filters dropped to $3.49, so I ordred 6. After I ordered, they went back up to $7.45. So for now I'm using WIX....

 

4 P.M!?! My local dealer's parts department closes at noon on Saturdays.

 

WOW! So I guess in some places it is bad. The toyota parts department stayed open till at least 6pm. You'd think that such a major automobile retailer would be able to provide more access for their customers.

Oh well, I guess the tune up will have to wait till next weekend.

 

have to remember nearly nobody wants to work weekends and fulltime guys work weekdays and finding someone to just work Saturday would be tough

some dealerships are open Sundays here, i feel bad for whoever has to work

 

I think my local dealer closes at 2 pm. No one wants to work weekends. Buy your parts on Friday or Saturday morning. Then you can play with the car all Saturday

 

Yeah, I guess the cruelty of retail hours does not apply everywhere. I did it for awhile and am so happy I am out of that industry, so I completely understand.

 

i used to work crappy hours, some days it was 12-9 then 8-5 the next morning. now its just 8-5 weekdays
