Used car shopping I've been shopping for quite sometime online,looking for a quality used car to replace an excellent vehicle I've had for ten years.I looked from Oakvi I've been shopping for quite sometime online,looking for a quality used car to replace an excellent vehicle I've had for ten years.I looked from Oakville to Hamilton to Niagara Falls and lots through St.Catharines trying to find the vehicle I wanted and felt comfortable with.After reviewing many cars and looking at literally hundreds of pictures,I narrowed it down to a few SUV's,crossovers and luxury style vehicles I liked. I actually stopped at Nissan and test drove a 2009 Acura TL AWD with the salesman Chris.A very fine car but a bit out of my price range.Everyone there was very helpful,and while looking at other vehicles came across a 2010 Nissan Maxima SV which looked very sharp.Once again test drove it with Chris and really enjoyed the comfort and quiet ride it gave.It was a very solid car,great feel for the road and incredible performance.I loved the looks it had,very stylish and much more in my price range I felt comfortable with.All the staff were exceptionally accommodating and we settled on a price.Rob(aka. Matt Damon,lol) was exceptionally thorough with the finance end of it,explaining the available options and choices to suit your needs with purchasing a used car.All in all everyone was very helpful and had the car looking tip top and even picked me up to bring me to the dealership to drive away in my new car.

Overall customer service at Collins Nissan is Overall customer service at Collins Nissan is exceptionally impressive! From start to finish, our SUV buying experience at Collins Nissan w Overall customer service at Collins Nissan is exceptionally impressive! From start to finish, our SUV buying experience at Collins Nissan was a most pleasant event However, what started our new car-search was neither a pre-planned event nor a much desired event. Just two days after Christmas,in Toronto, my husband and I had a frighteningly bizarre car accident.Our MDX Acura SUV with only 88,000 Km was totalled,a complete write-off! Two weeks later,back in the Peninsula, numbed and disappointed, we reluctantly visited a few car dealerships.At home ,we launched into researching car Consumer Reports. Grudgingly,we began the journey to purchase a replacement vehicle which we certainly had NOT planned for any time soon.Despite financial loss and a lingering physical injury,we are incredibly grateful that there was no loss of life. Therefore we are thankful to all the employees of the Collins Nissan Family for their helpfulness and positive approach in our reluctant journey to buy another vehicle,let alone a brand new one. From our initial greeting by receptionist,Amanda , to Robin and Chris; then, Fred and Geoff and finally,Melinda---- our sincerest appreciation to all of you for shepherding us to a successful outcome,a 2014 Pathfinder. ROBIN EVANS ,Sales Consultant, first welcomed my husband during his initial,solo visit. Thanks to your professional, warm welcome , Robin, your patience and genuine demeanour moved both my husband and I to return later that same day.While Robin had finished his day shift by the time we came back, it was CHRIS VAN WIECHEN who continued our initial exploration to find a good-rated and suitable SUV. We commend Chris for his authentic, no-pressure approach. Chris Van Wiechen strived to fully answer our multi-faceted questions with an earnest, problem-solving approach.Thanks Chris for assisting us with the Pathfinder technology, our enjoyable test drives and even the "colour choice dilemma". FRED FUOCO ,Sales Manager, was a welcolmed participant during and following all sales negotiations.Fred is unique : direct and frank, client-oriented and sincerely attentive to our situation. Thanks Fred for being consistently helpful while devoid of any of the classic undesireable strategies of a " pushy salespersona ". We appreciate your genuine self! General Manager, GEOFF MAC VINNIE , was at once graciously welcoming with a palpable , infectious level of energy and leadership style. Geoff was friendly yet, when necessary, was task-oriented to address the bottom line in our final sale arrangement.Thanks Geoff for steering us to the 2014 model from the 2013 demo.( after all, it wasn't red!) All in all, Geoff's involvement affirmed for us that Collins Nissan employees not only aim to be a cohesive team but in fact are a team that strives to meet the clients' satisfaction,regardless of organizational position. Nissan is fortunate to have such an effective team ! The Collins Team would not be complete without Business Manager , MELINDA RIDGERS . Together, Melinda helped my husband and I finalize the mountain of paperwork . This was done with Melinda's efficient ease,experience and a wecolmed sense of humour.Melinda was straightforward while presenting a vast array of options,choices and best practices.She is accommodating,knowledgeable and ever personable. Melinda was a pleasure to work with.Thanks Melinda for facilitating our vehicle's final "touches" far sooner than expected ! Following the paperwork, we came full circle back to our first contact,ROBIN EVANS . At the front door,we were greeted once again by Robin who now held the keys to our newly purchased SUV. With his signature warm smile and hand shake,he wished us well but not before inviting us to call him soon to schedule a follow-up session to go over any further how-to questions about the operation of the vehicle. We appreciate that he recognized that we need a bit of time to become familiar with our new Pathfinder (aka Ruby)...especially the Navigation System! So, we are now busy reading the humongous manual! As I drove away from the dealership, I felt a welcolmed sense of contentment .My husband and I are now the proud owners of a new 2014 Red Pathfinder, via the Collins Nissan Family who all worked so hard to give us : CUSTOMER SERVICE, QUALITY of WORK , in a pleasant atmosphere of FRIENDLINESS. Bravo to everyone! We now look forward tp future regularly scheduled maintenance appointments with a service department that is classed by many fans as Second to None... . "Nulli Secundus" ! Regards, Franca and Arthur More
