I've heard some horror stories about dealerships on both the Yahoo and ITW board, so I guess I'm lucky that I have a pretty good dealership. I talked to 2 salesman, the first one really knew nothing about the Xterra, the second one was pretty knowledgeable. I didn't really care about that too much, it really is the service department that did it for me. The guys in the service department at Admiral Nissan in Pleasantville, NJ are top notch!
For the X's first oil change I took it to a local garage, they complained it took them a long time to find the oil filter and drain plug and they charged me an extra $10 because they had to take the engine skid plate off, which they didn't put back on tightly! Needless to say, it will only be going to Nissan in the future. (The garage mechanic did confess this was the first Xterra he worked on.)
