Extremely Disappointing Experience at Bertera Nissan
I had a very disheartening experience at Bertera Nissan today, and I feel compelled to share it. I scheduled an oil change about a week ago and received a confirmation text for my 3:00 PM appointment. When I arrived on time, I was approached by Brenda at the service entrance. I explained I had an appointment, but she immediately shook her head and curtly told me the car in front of me was the last one of the day.
I reiterated that I had a confirmed appointment, even showed her the text message, but she continued to dismiss me, insisting there were no more appointments. Eventually, she told me in a rude tone, "eds inside--you can go talk to him, ma'am." So I did.
Inside, Ed found my appointment in the system. However, rather than acknowledging the mistake, Brenda began yelling that she was just doing what she was told and accused me of "complaining about her"--all while grabbing the keys from my hand and continuing to shout outside. I was shocked and embarrassed.
As a single mom, I had arranged childcare for my 10-month-old and carved out 2.5 hours of my already limited time for this appointment. I take my schedule seriously, and being treated this way for simply showing up for a confirmed service was completely unacceptable.
I've been coming to this location for years, even purchased an oil change package. But since it changed from Manchester City Nissan to Bertera Nissan, the customer service has clearly declined. The way I was spoken to--dismissive, rude, and confrontational--was unprofessional and deeply upsetting.
To make matters worse, when it was time to check out, the service manager ignored me entirely, texting on her phone while I stood at the counter waiting to be helped. Not a word of acknowledgment.
This was not just poor service--it was disrespectful. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a courteous, professional experience. read more
