Gastonia Nissan

My Mother took her 2010 Cube to have the NC State Inspection done on her car on July 21,2010 and to find out what a noise was when she turned her AC Blower on. We received a call from the Service Writer, Mark Linton, who told me that she needed a new tire @ $198.00 , due to a nail being in her tire and a new Cabin Filter @ $80.00. I declined the new tire and cabin filter due to I could get tire cheaper somewhere else. I then asked if car was ready to pick up and was told tat it had not been inspected yet. Needless to say was FAILED due to the nail in tire an needing a new cabin filter. Mom had to pay $23.75 before they would release the car and was told she had 30 days to come back to re inspect to pay $6.25 for E-Sticker. chriNC Inspection allows 60 days to re inspect. I took car to a local repair shop, where they looked at the tire, told me it could be plugged, which they did and they inspected the car, it passed it and only charged her the $6.25 for the E-Sticker, I walked out paying $12.25 for tire plug and inspection. Needless to say she WILL NOT be taking car back to Gastonia Nissan except for warranty work ONLY if the Nissan dealership in Charlotte is busy and can't do the work. BE WARNED!!!!!!!!! They pray on women and the elderly.
