Good dealerships in L.A.

Hi SoCal peeps!

I'm planning to move back down to L.A. next year (see my signature) and I can hardly wait.

I'm starting to collect data, etc so I can make my move less stressful. Nobody in my B-I-G family owns a G (sad) so I couldn't ask any of them.

I'll still have my G when I move back down and I've been meticulous about the maintenance on my G. I take my car to a local delearship here for maintenance.

I'm planning to move around Calabasas/Oak Park area, probably Malibu Hills area... I'm also considering Woodland Hills again... from your experience, what Infiniti dealership would you recommend within the vicinity?

Thanks

.

Yes! I'm moving to be closer to my family... I do miss them. It's been 14 years since I've moved up here... I'm missing out on a lot, although I do go down there as often as I can.

I'm planning to move around Calabasas/Oak Park/Malibu Hills/Woodland Hills... one of those places. I'm looking for a good deal on a home down there. I'll jot down Glendale Infiniti...Yeah, I heard Miller was horrible. Thank you.

Hey you are going to be pretty close to me! Around that area you got Thousand Oaks Infiniti, Santa Monica Infiniti, and Miller Infiniti. I've only gone to Miller Infiniti since it's the closest, they do decent job all depends who is your service rep. I heard Santa Monica Infiniti is pretty okay too, or West Covina Nissan where a lot of members in LA go to.

G-girl stay away from stealerships unless u have FREE work that needs to be done on ur car. We are lucky here to have very reputable shops that will use better fluids/parts to maintain ur car and charge the fraction of the stealership's price. When u need something done on your car just post it here we will direct u to the right shop.

Avoid stealerships at all costs.

Hi Gerry Girl....!

Sorry to say I can't recommend any Infiniti dealerships for service, however
I had good luck with most Nissan dealerships when I had my Z. For some
reason every time I've visited a Infiniti dealership my pockets are lighter and I
feel like I've been taken advantage of, ya know screwed? I would only go to a dealership if I needed warranty
work done!
Gary

+1 The only time I went to an Infiniti Dealership was for warranty work and I even drove all the way out to Tustin Infiniti. No probs there. Only had my oil changed once there since I needed warranty work. Other than that, i took it to Performance Nissan in Duarte for my oil changes. For my 30k mile service I had Dru @ Street Image (doesn't work there anymore) to get it done. Other than that, Vlad said it best.

Except when you need me to personally delivery parts to you

I've encountered only one really good service rep (Randy) @ Glendale. The others are to be avoided at all costs.

When I lived in L.A., I never had problems with Glendale Infiniti, but Glendale might be kind of far to you. I always had a preference for Street Image in Baldwin Park, but that's definitely far from you.

I had my G dynoed once at Precision Z http://www.precisionz.com/home The 350z guys love 'em. He specializes in Gs and Zs and they're in Canoga Park.

Mike u know exactly what im talking about. Jason and Rick have exceptional discounts on parts and I am really thankful for it that u guys share those prices with us but when it comes to labor that those technicians get paid for in the dealers, that is a lot of money and u know that there are shops that will do a better job with a fraction of the price.

Don't you agree?

I think most technicians at dealerships are trained to only do standard tasks, which works for average-joe owners. But for us savy people, we probably expect more.

Thanks everybody!

Vlad, I understand what you're saying about stealerships... the one I use up here is pretty good and so far, they'd been fair with the maintenance cost... I learned an important lesson a long time ago... maintain my car with a dealership or learn to do it myself... since I can afford to pay someone to do it and I really don't have the time to do it, I just take it to a reputable dealership.

Keep 'em comin guys!
Thank you
