Infiniti put me in a Focus?!!

One day I brought my G in to get the windshield replaced, and wouldn't you believe it, instead of putting me in another Infiniti, they put me in a Focus, Ford Focus that is! Needless to say I was a little heated. I tell the guy, "I thought you guys always put your customers in infinitis?" He informs me that unfortunately they didn't have any on the lot that I could have because they were all out.
So just a word to the wise, it's not guaranteed that you will always have an Infiniti as a loaner. It's pending on availablity.

"Geez" they could have at least put you in a comparable car, which a focus is not, next time set the appointment up when they can assure of a better loaner car.

Just because you make an appointment doesn't mean they will have a loaner. I made an appointment with Miller Infiniti - once I got there they told me they were all out of Infiniti loaners - so they had Enterprise rental pick me up. Enterprise gave me a Buick - their luxurious car. To sum it all up, I couldn't wait to get back in my G.

Re: Infiniti put me in a Focus?!!

You have to make sure you tell them you want a loaner, of course. When I had to stop in during an "emergency", my sales guy actually gave me his demo for the time I was out of my G... said he didn't want me to have to drive around in a crappy car for a week. When I stopped in with an appointment for a loaner, they actually didn't have one, as someone hadn't returned theirs. The manager gave me his loaded FX until they could put me in a proper loaner. There's a difference between just doing your job, and going above and beyond the call of duty. THAT earns my respect.

I am new to Infinit, but have heard a lot of good about my dealer and their service, so we'll see! Did he give you an FX45? LOL!

When I brought mine in they let me blast around for a day in a G35C.

Re: Infiniti put me in a Focus?!!

in all reality be thankful they had a car at all for you

I am tired of riding in the courtesy van at the dodge dealer (grand caravan)

Just consider it a beater and thank your luck stars they thought about it to have anything for you

Have a healthy day!

The loaner car is a part of the warranty, not sure if it's after the warranty is up or not, so there better not be a van taking anyone!

Re: Infiniti put me in a Focus?!!

I took my car in for an oil change and I got a G35 sedan, but they charged me $4.00 for "car loaner processing fee"????

That's not bad, but I thought it was "no charge" guess we have to read the fine print better! [img]/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Infiniti put me in a Focus?!!

yeah, $4 isn't so bad. i just assumed all infiniti dealers supplied free loaners like mine. i guess i should've known better when the dealer kept emphasizing the fact that they give free loaners and saturday carwashes.

Re: Infiniti put me in a Focus?!!

My dealer said the same thing, free loaners, as long as you make an appointment, said nothing about "minimal time" or anything! I know they have the cars, I see them all over the place with their website on the back window!

Re: Infiniti put me in a Focus?!!

haha oh no. is that a bad sign when all you see people driving are dealer loaners and not their actual cars? [img]/w3timages/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

yeah loaner availability varies. but so far, *knock on infiniti genuine wood trim* (lol that's for you, ABQ [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]), i've been put in the FX and sedan. no ford focus... hopefully.
