I got my new Nissan Versa last May 17, 2008 for a total price of $16,108 from Tom Naquin. It was an automatic with a power package and remote keyless entry. The car was very nice in its super black color with silver kick plates and splash guards. I thought to my self the only missing is the rain guard and so I ordered a new rain guard from Ebay. A full tank of Gas on my nissan versa cost around $50 ~ $55 depending on the gas per gallon with a 13.2 gallon in a tank. This full tank of gas allows me to run my car for a month without replenishing my gas. A sure fuel economy car that gives me around 33 mpg on a highway and 26 on city.
Unfortunately it was June 15, 2008 (Fathers day) when a Hail storm hit our car at the Mishawaka area. Good thing that me and my wife were inside the store (Best buys) when it happened. After the Hail Storm we immediately checked our car and it got a lot of dimples on the hood, Roof and Drivers side fender. Even my new Rain Guard was broken into pisces. We’ll we can’t do anything about that, It’s nobodys fault. But deep inside me it really hurt seeing my car like that.
So we decided to call my car Insurance (Geico) and they covered my damage claims. I told my self that it would be better if Nissan Bodyshop will do the repair so I made an arrangement to have my car fix. But I was totally wrong! The guy from Nissan BodyShop named Greg Wittner did a lot of mess in my car. They broke my plastic panel on the Lift gate during the dent repair process, missing plastic clips, Untidy works, so many tiny scratches made from my car. In short I’m not impressed with their work and I was totally upset. So I called on my dealer and report everything to him and he talked to Greg. The car was then scheduled again for polishing all the issues I have with my car and it stayed for about 2 weeks from them. Guess what? Some scratches were present, and lot of white wax on the edges. Well the plastic clips and panel boards were replaced but the service they provided me didn’t even reach my expectation. They have a very low customer service index.
So what else can we do? I grab my car back and I just polished my car to bring back its natural beauty. You can see its pictures at http://mykelchua.multiply.com
Hmmn… what a relief! Finally my car looks briliant once again and it has a new Rain guard too but its a mugen style (much better than before). Now that everybody is looking for a fuel economy car, I really love my car. It serves its purpose!
