Scammers If you’re looking for the scamming lying and willing to help you and just want money type dealership you’ve found the one, went to finance office and If you’re looking for the scamming lying and willing to help you and just want money type dealership you’ve found the one, went to finance office and the bank was asking for an extra 1k for DP I couldn’t meet those terms so they decided to keep my 2k deposit, my only two options were to buy the car or leave it and they take my 2k I didn’t sign any papers saying it was not refundable, did not sign a bill of sale nothing, so the gm tells me if he can’t get me to be the primary owner he’ll give my money back but if he can then I have to buy the car, calls me few days after saying I was approved to be the primary owner, without telling me they set me up for an in-house finance, I couldn’t even deal with them anymore so I just ended up financing the car through them, WORST experience do not come to this dealership More
Please Don't Pressure us to Buy a Car. My mother and I planned to look and test out vehicles at Vickar Nissan as her car was no longer functional. However, we had no intention of purchasing My mother and I planned to look and test out vehicles at Vickar Nissan as her car was no longer functional. However, we had no intention of purchasing a vehicle that day because we were unsure of the type of vehicle our family needed and it was our very first day testing out cars. The salesman answered all our questions regarding the vehicle and took us out for a test drive. We told the salesman that the car was great, which was not a lie, but we also had to really think about it and get back to him. Financing a brand new vehicle is a commitment, especially when money is tight and we did not want to buy the first vehicle we test drove. Although he said he "understood", we felt that he was pressuring us to buy the vehicle. He asked us "What else is there to think about if the car has what you want?", I then AGAIN explained our financial situation (sigh). Just when I thought I got through to the salesman, he introduces us to his manager "in case" we come back and he was not there. The manager was trying to throw in some deals to get us to purchase the vehicle, which did not match the deals that the salesman was offering, and we got the feeling that the salesman should not have been offering them. For the third time, I had to explain to them in a more assertive manner that we had to think about the decision to purchase the vehicle and that we would get back to them... We never came back! I get it, we all have to make money and this is their job but pressuring people to buy a car is just rude and unprofessional. More
Liars, dont trust them So my wife and I bought this used 2014 Rogue SV from them in late 2016, and don't get me wrong I love the vehicle but the lies they tell you there is So my wife and I bought this used 2014 Rogue SV from them in late 2016, and don't get me wrong I love the vehicle but the lies they tell you there is ridiculous. I do have to say that Ariel Maudi our sales consultant was excellent. When we went in to look at the vehicle, we were told by the Ariel that with the promotion they had on at the time that we would be getting not only the all season tires that were on the vehicle but also winter tires and winter rims and he verified this with Ryan Pastenik the General Manager. This was very important to us since the car we were trading in had both sets as well. At that time we were also told that seasonal tire rotation was free of charge. It was also written into the contract and signed by the Used car manager Fawza Azhar. We went through the financing department, egotistical A$$hat, Egilio Marino. Man that guy is full of himself. My wife and I have excellent credit and he made us feel like we shouldn't even be on the lot due to the fact that we were buying a used car and not a new one. He said he would try to get us the best rate possible. We had already been pre approved through our bank at 1.5% interest. He came back and said that the best he could get us through their financing companies, one of which was our bank was 3.25% and showed us the paperwork to back it up.. We called him on it immediately and showed him our paperwork. Then he corrected himself stating that he gave us someone else's paperwork and then kept talking about how rough it was dealing with them. Professionalism??? Not to mention he showed us some of the other customers files he had on his desk with their names and personal and banking information on it. Privacy laws infraction there big time. Needless to say we got the financing taken care of at the appropriate rate. When we went to pick up the Rogue, it only had the all season tires on it. When we questioned them about it they said they were waiting on the winter tires to come in. 2 weeks later we called back and they said they still didn't have them. About a week after that we got a call back stating that the tires were in and that we could come down any time for them to be put on the car. When we got there, the tires were there but no winter rims, early November at this time and snow on the way. We asked about the rims and they said that they weren't part of the deal. We referred them to the contract stating wheels and rims, they disagreed with that and said that they would never have agreed to that. Then the infighting in the dealership started between Ryan Pastetnik, Fawaz Azhar and Tim Penner (the Vice President). Each were adamant that their department was not going to pay for the rims. After the infighting went on for about a half hour I just happened to mention something about a contract they had signed and a lawyer, then the fighting stopped. They ordered my rims for me the same day. I got the rims almost 3 weeks later and then they wanted to charge me for the mounting of the tires on the rims and also for putting them on the car. Once again I mentioned lawyer, thing s got done quickly. Now twice a year I go there to have my tires rotated from winter to summer and summer to winter. On their website when it comes booking service they have it all laid out nicely with the service and the price, you click on the box and its done, select a time and you get an email confirmation that the appointment is set. I clicked on the services section and there are your options. I clicked on the one that says INSTALL SUMMER TIRES - ALREADY ON RIMS - there is no charge listed on here but there is on every other selection available. I was thinking ok, no charge since I got that done free of charge at Canadian Tire since I bought my tired from my old vehicle there. The appointment was set for April 28th at 9am and got there at 8:45am. Went into the shop area to drop off my keys and told them I had a 9am appointment and was told that it would be $45 for the tire rotation and that they would not be able to get my car in for at least another 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Service advisor Mark Malahia was extremely rude when I asked about why the almost 2 hour delay when I had a 9am appointment. There were 2 other cars on the lot waiting to get in as well. I had checked with them as well, they had appointments after mine. What's the point of making an appointment if they wont honor it???? The shop hours on their website specifically state 9am for Saturdays. They started giving me a hard time so I just told them to give me my keys back. Got back into my car, went over to Canadian Tire that's less than 5 minutes away from the dealership, they looked up my phone number in their system, noticed I had a new vehicle, I even told them that I hadn't purchased these tire from them, they said no problem. They had my car in their bay within 10 minutes of it being on the lot, and changed out the tires. Told the Manager there what had happened at the dealership, he gave me his business card, tore up my invoice gave me my keys back. Told me no charge. Now that's customer service from Canadian Tire. Too bad I cant say the same from Vickars Nissan on Regent. Good sales team (Ariel Maudi), poor service from upper management (Ryan Pastetnik and Fawza Azhar), poor service from Finance department (Egilio Marino) and no service from service department (Mark Malahia).

Anxiety inducing, pressure, and belittling The only reason this review has 2 stars is because the salesman, Carson was awesome. He was incredibly friendly and helpful.... Unlike the rest of the The only reason this review has 2 stars is because the salesman, Carson was awesome. He was incredibly friendly and helpful.... Unlike the rest of the staff there. I was told via text after emailing to inquire about a 2010 VW Tiguan to come down and meet with Fawaz. When I arrived I asked for him and he said fairly annoyed that I was not there to see him, thankfully Carson came up to me and helped me out, but the initial greeting from Fawaz was terrible. We loved the vehicle, however I knew that the price on the vehicle was well above what it should have been (considering we found a 2012 Tiguan, $3000 less with 20,000 more kms, albeit fwd instead of the AWD of the 2010... And the 2012 came with 2 sets of tires.). My fiance tried to reason with them and they were condescending. We live 30 mins outside of the city, and I work across the city from the dealership. They kept asking us to come down and meet with them for no reason, wasting our time and gas. My fiance was ready to take the plunge on the vehicle as he wanted AWD... But I really felt incredibly uneasy about the whole deal. The vehicle was sent to a Volkswagen dealership to have recall issues fixed and they've been xxxxxxx us around on when the vehicle would be ready to pick up, with us coming down every day this week, wasting our time, with no answers. We then met with the finance manager egilo or whatever his name is.... He was egotistical, condescending and made me incredibly uncomfortable. All he wanted to do was talk about himself... Dude we don't give a xxxx about your fancy xxx car, we get it you're a shark who makes a xxxx ton of money. Anyways, he pulled up my credit score and belittled me about how it wasn't great blah blah blah... Meanwhile I make payments on time and have probably missed one payment ever.... Yes I have student loans, but who doesn't? And did the same to my fiance, who's score isn't great but that's beside the point. He told us he would get back to us today in regards to the application, but did not despite my fiance reaching out to him via email. I had incredible anxiety thinking I would never be approved. Today my fiance and I stopped in at the dealership that had the 2012 VW Tiguan... And man what a difference. They were kind, and helpful, and the finance manager said that my credit wasn't bad at all, putting me at ease. I'm going back to vickar nissan, only to retrieve the deposit I put down. Would not recommend. More
Mark Malahia is awesome. I bought my 09 maxima from the Regent location 3 years ago. Mark Malahia from the Service department is the only reason I continue to go there. Anytim I bought my 09 maxima from the Regent location 3 years ago. Mark Malahia from the Service department is the only reason I continue to go there. Anytime I bring in my car, he makes sure everthing is done properly. He calls you back on time, he listens properly and he makes arrangements for a rental when my car is been fixed. I highly recommend him anyday, anytime. Tosin. More
Avoid this place. Caused damage to my interior of my car during warranty work. Never repaired. Managers will just lie to you. The service department could not even put Caused damage to my interior of my car during warranty work. Never repaired. Managers will just lie to you. The service department could not even put a tire on right. The tire read this side inwards on the sidewall. They had to bring it in again and do it all over. More
Audio system in service for 23 days now Don’t buy any brand new platinum murano from this dealer! The audio system and the gps conflict and they stop working all of the sudden when they are Don’t buy any brand new platinum murano from this dealer! The audio system and the gps conflict and they stop working all of the sudden when they are both used at the same time! You take the car to this dealer where you originally bought it on Jan 2nd, they keep it up to now Jan 25th, only to figure out how to fix a simple audio system! Not responsive! Too irresponsible! It seems like they want to make you tired to forget about the problem! Oh and I forgot to mention that your safety seems not to matter for them as with the warranty package you buy from them they give you a simple car that I even don’t know the name for god’s sake, which doesn’t have ant winter tire! And last but not the least you pay a platinum full package car and they keep your car 23 days now to solve an audio problem! Won’t recommend this dealer to anyone! More
Trade in for a newer model The sales person I delt with pretty much sold MY SUV to my husband even after telling the sales person it was my car, not my husbands by both myself a The sales person I delt with pretty much sold MY SUV to my husband even after telling the sales person it was my car, not my husbands by both myself and my husband. We got a great deal on it that's why we choose to stay. The finance department was amazing! Gold stars and 10/10 for her. She took her time and explained everything in complete detail and answered all my questions. More
