I am highly interested in purchasing a Nissan Frontier 4WD for wildfire remediation, which I consider to be a rock-solid truck and at the top of its class for my needs. Unfortunately, the amateur antics and tone-deaf management at Cardinale Nissan in Seaside completely ruined what should been a pretty straightforward purchase.A week ago, I spoke with a sales representative about a used 2023 Frontier on their lot. While polite, he seemed completely disinterested in negotiating or discussing the vehicle, which is clearly overpriced (estimate 6k over book). In fact, within a 50-mile radius, I can buy a brand-new Frontier with almost identical specs for only about $2,000 more. Instead of working with me which I assumed was the logical approach, they dumped me onto a mailing list with multiple follow-up emails and calls--none of which were personal to my needs. The breaking point came when I received a call from the sales manager, Ryan. Assuming they had finally realized I am a serious cash buyer ready to move if they were reasonable, I called him back. Ryan didn't even bother to exchange basic pleasantries. He immediately said, "I'm putting you through to one of my sales team,", I didn't even have a chance to say a word and was pushed right back to the original sales rep. To make a bizarre situation worse, this representative then tried to pitch me on their "customer referral program." When I asked why on earth I would refer business to them when they haven't even been willing to work with me on the truck I actually want to buy, the rep honestly replied, "Well, I don't know why he called you either." It is incredibly frustrating to be treated with this level of administrative incompetence. Burning a serious, motivated cash buyer through a tone-deaf sales manager stunt is completely unacceptable. Nissan makes great vehicles, but this dealership's sales tactics are amateur, unprofessional, disorganized, and entirely off-brand. I added 2 photos, 1. the strange voicemail from the sales manager and 2. my simple question to Google Gemini on 'Cardinale seems overpriced ?'. Yes I am really irritated and yes I feel sad I have to give such a poor review but it wouldn't feel good to let this go unchecked, Cardinale management should think hard before they practice this level of churn and burn ! read more

So two weeks after purchasing the vehicle (3/15/2026) , I stopped by stress free auto care to diagnose long crank delayed start issue (4/4/2026) . They were able to narrow it down to main fuel pump losing pressure as the RCA for the start issue but along with that found several other concerning issues. Photos attached. -2 stars (from 4) : I already paid 5k (trade) + 4k cash down + 18.5k finance = $27.5k which is already TOOOOOO high for a 2015 used vehicle. Now on top of that i need to pay $3k to get faulty equipment fixed which should have been a dealership responsibility. Add to that ~1k for new front tires and I could have bought a 2022 dodge charger RT for that amount of money. Well I'm pissed now. read more

had a great experience wonderful costumer service! I highly recommend Alessandro super fun and easy to work with!

With a whole NEW Team at Cardinale Nissan, I would highly recommend your next purchase with them. The best experience I have ever had buying a car. The Team; Zeeshan- Salesman Fred- General Sales Manager Chris- Finance Manager David- General Manager Because this was a surprise for my wife's birthday, they asked if they could put a bow on the car and park it in the Showroom. My wife was brought to tears. The buying experience was painless and Fred got me a great rate. I enjoyed the experience so much I have been back several times looking at a potential second purchase. Do yourself a favor and check out this NEW Team and see if they can put a smile on your face and a new car in your driveway. Nice job Team, keep it up! John read more

I purchased a cargo van just 2 days ago and was not informed it had rust issues. The damage was conveniently hidden, and only became obvious once I had time to properly inspect it. When I contacted them immediately to request a flat cancellation, they flat-out refused to take any responsibility. Absolutely no transparency or accountability. Save yourself the headache--avoid this dealership, and especially avoid dealing with Zeyshaan. Extremely disappointing experience. read more

Under §1770(a)(5), it's illegal for a seller to represent that goods (like vehicles) have characteristics or benefits they don't actually have. I relied on a dealer's statement and it turned out to be false and misleading, I was lied to for months and now recieved a ticket for the time it was being driven by the GM or as a loaner or whatever.. 5000 miles on a new car and no explanation?! Oh it has features ... but guess what they dont work!! Lies lies and more lies. This isn't a clean title.. This was not an honest deal. And I plan on telling everyone and stand up against dishonest people and companies. read more

I unfortunately needed to get another car due to mine unexpectedly needing a new hybrid battery. I reached out to Cardinale Nissan and some other dealerships as well as Carvana to see what options I had. Zeeshaun got in touch with me and was very easy to work with even though I was out of town. When I did come in for a test drive, him and Ryan had the car and my Starbucks order ready to go. That was a nice touch to help me feel at ease. Although I know the object is to sell a car, I did not feel as though they were being pushy. They listened to what was going on and gave me options. Even Chris, the finance manager, was great to work with after signing the contract. At the end of everything, Zeeshaun and Ryan helped me get my new car home while I drove my daughter's car back. That was very thoughtful customer service and saved me from needing to get an Uber back to the dealership. Even if everything didn't work out, this was the best experience I've had at dealership so far. read more

I wanted to thank Patrick Cochran, the Service Director at Cardinale Nissan, for an amazing repair experience. My Inifiniti needed a lot of work done and Patrick and the service team were there to help. The repair estimates were more than reasonable and quite frankly, Patrick made the whole process seamless and kept me updated every step of the way. I would definitely use the service center at Cardinale Nissan again. read more

I had been searching for a car for my family for a few months. I started looking online and entered my phone number and email address into the form for several dealerships. When Zeeshan called I said please do not call, email, and text me multiple times. That is way too much! In the end I decided to go to the person who listened, asked about what was most important, personalized the experience and also gave me my favorite coffee during the visit. Zeeshan was absolutely amazing ---he made buying a car easy and it took just under 3 hours from hello to parking my brand new in my driveway. If you are looking for a good car buying experience that doesn't feel transactional --check out Zeeshan at Cardinale. Amber and Christopher also deserve shoutouts! read more

I don't usually comment, but I can't do it this time This is my fifth Nissan purchase, but it's the worst Nissan dealer that I think is a bad business method. When you buy a car here, please be careful not to trust the financial director when signing. There were a lot of problems The first problem is that an extended warranty of nearly $5,000 has been added without any explanation. I noticed the cancellation after a few days and told the dealer that it would be refunded 4-8 weeks later, but it was not refunded and I tried to contact GM several times, but there was no response. When I complained to BBB, BBB's inquiry was also no response. It's been more than 3 months and it still hasn't been refunded. Other than that It was said that a total of more than $3,000 in options were added to the amount on the Carfax advertisement, and it could not be removed. When I suggested that there was no such thing in the advertisement, the salesman scrolled through the store's site and said that it was on our website and it was in small letters at the bottom. The next problem is that I was told that if I wanted to pay by credit card, the upper limit was 2500, but without explanation, a transaction fee of $75 was added. If you add a fee, there should be no upper limit, and it was free at the previous dealer. It will take a long time, so the remaining 3 problems will save effort. I don't know if the Financial Director did it personally or the store's policy, but I can only think that he was rip-offed to get as much profit from me as possible. The salesman was a good person who liked Nissan, but I think the store's business method is wrong. read more

BUYER BEWARE! What a horrible experience. Went in and test drove a Nissan Sentra. Was told the car was $19,000; however, when we checked back the next day they raised the price $995. Can you believe it?? Before that I gave them permission to run a credit report but had no idea they would do it 7 times! HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH THIS. Planning to call the BBB to let them know. Ridiculous!! Asked the General Manager, David Haines, to return a call regarding these issues but to know avail. I would never purchase a car/truck here. However, we did purchase a beautiful Nissan Sentra from another dealership. read more

I recently purchased a 2021 Ford Shelby GT500 at this location and just want to say thanks to the team for the support. From start to finish the entire process was handled with professionalism and had a level of customer service that felt refreshingly genuine. Big shoutout to Alessandro for being attentive and tailoring the conversation to my needs. At no point did I feel misled. In a market where often times profits are prioritized over people, he stood out as a beacon of integrity. You can really tell it's emphasized to not only sell cars, but build relationships with their customers. Awesome job guys ! Happy holidays read more

General manager David and his staff at Cardinale Nissan have earned five stars from me: It only took six months. Maybe that's what will make this review the most valuable for them and for their customers. How strange this is to be writing a positive review after all this time, and after I was positive I'd give them only one, if any, stars--let alone five. Back in June (2024), I bought the 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro-x that sat on Cardinale's lot for going on two years. It's too long of a story to explain exactly what happened - - let's just say things got complicated. But since picking up my truck today after the mechanics and a master technician diagnosed a faulty part in the drive train (using a stethoscope no less...), I couldn't be happier. I purchased the truck locally so that I could trust the dealership that would be working on my 4x4--smart move after all. Thank you David and everyone else for sticking it out with me. I'm pretty sure I haven't exactly been a five -star customer this whole time, for my part. Abel in the service department, Amber in customer service, Johnny my sales guy, and especially Patrick in parts who outfitted the truck and has patiently walked me through plenty of questions and concerns - - thank you all. This kind of stuff is rare these days, folks. If you're looking for a car, I strongly suggest talking with David. He's got a real good way about him. The whole car buying experience is a pain in the ass for everybody. Nobody trusts dealerships. But I trust Cardinale Nissan. read more

We drove over 2 hours to look at a used Jeep. The Price was listed on numerous car websites including their own at $29K. Spoke with the salesman and GM prior to our drive. Spent over an hour and when we sat down to discuss the price the salesman added another $1600 to the invoice for after market items. We said we did not want them and he said ok. Yet when he came back they were still listed. The GM came over and said we had to pay for them. It was not listed on any third party sites. She then said it was in the fine print - when I looked on their site it said Optional New and Used Vehicle Protection Plan includes : 3M Door Edge Guards $395, LoJack $495, & a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty on Nissan vehicles only $595..NOTE THE WORD OPTIONAL - Again she said we had to pay it!!! And then went on about its required for Safety Regs!! They then insisted we give them our home address - not sure what they were checking! Very Disappointing to say the least. Please review other reviews to get a better understanding to their approach to doing business. Needless to say we walked away even though we fell in love with the vehicle. read more

My wife and I bought a 2024 Rogue last Saturday, it was right under $50,000 out the door. Alessandro was a good salesman, but when we got home I noticed a little ding on the driver's side rear quarter panel, so we drove back to Cardinale Nissan on Sunday morning and I spoke to Amber the sales manager. First she said that it was going to cost $250. to fix the ding and she recommended that I put "hot water on it". I'm not sure what hot water can do to repair the dent. Anyway, she said she would get back to me. Today is Wednesday and I've heard nothing. I'm disappointed in Cardinale Nissan's aftercare. I also purchased the extended warranty and service plan and I planned on building a relationship with this dealer over the next 96 months of my warranties, but if they don't treat me right, I'll have to take my business elsewhere. read more

I brought my Nissan Frontier in to get it serviced. Not only did they charge me an exorbitant amount to service my truck, they left my oil drain plug barely screwed in and then charged me $220 to "diagnose" the timing chain whine (which only involves opening the hood and seeing if you can hear a whining noise). Had them change the oil, antifreeze, front and rear diff fluid and the transmission fluid. I then parked it and haven't driven it since as it's not my daily commuter. I just walked out to take it for a drive, and noticed that there was a large puddle of oil underneath my truck. The oil drain plug was so loose I was able to tighten it several turns by hand before snugging it up with a wrench. I then proceeded to check the coolant, and the reservoir is completely empty. I will never take my truck to a Nissan dealer again. read more

I bought my car last month and i took the car same day, I came back after few weeks because I had my flat tire (I included the service on the purchase) so I am thinking that they will help me. The guy just look at my car and said, just come back tomorrow because your tires was not flat at all. Even though I showed him the screen saying it was really flat. My husband came back and they told him we need to buy a new tires. Like really?! It's a brand new car and they are asking us to pay a new tires. Isn't it supposed to be in warranty? Also, they told him they don't have a tire in hand so they need to wait! Wow terrible service!! so we went to Salinas to buy a new tires with our own money!! The worst part was I had to buy new tire when it's brand new car!! Then after a month purchasing, i keep receiving phone calls and text asking me some documents so I called and asked them what is going on? They told me, when I purchased my car the management didn't process the loan to the bank and the car was not funded yet! Really? After a month and nobody is telling us anything even though we keep coming back to the dealership. How terrible right? You know what is their excuse? Because they have new management! So what is the involvement of their terrible management on my purchase? Is it my problem? Do i deserve to be harassed by text and calls while I am at school and work resolving their own issues? I told them, I am returning my car! I dropped off the car and the new regional manager asked me "who are you?" not even how can I help you? For real? They are saying the new management was bad but looks like it is more than worst now because of their arrogant attitude. Your company dishonesty and bad service really shows all of you are not reliable. You don't care about your client at all!! Not really recommend to anyone to use this dealership. Worst service ever!! read more

I bought a newer used car from out of state from Cardinale Nissan, site unseen. It was the exact car I was looking for. The sales staff, general manager and finance manager were very helpful and responsive and answered my many questions during the back and forth needed to complete the transaction and payment. It felt like a leap of faith to purchase a car this way, but they did not let me down. The car was shipped and even came with a full tank of gas and a thank you note. read more

I came in to buy a brand new titan today. Overall the truck was clean until I looked underneath and saw that they put $1000 lift kit on a vehicle that they were trying to ask 70+ for. When I was talking through it with the guy at the desk (I think his name was Louis... not very memorable other than being a jerk) he responded pretty rudely, so I went across the street and bought a new Tundra. Thanks for guiding me back in the right direction.

It has been a month and we are still dealing with this garbage at best place. But please if anyone encounters Edrick he is an awful sales person. He constantly brings up God with his customers, but once the car is sold is gone, Edrick forgets What Would Jesus and turns into who's that? He told me that he has worked there for 32 years and has had 31 general managers, during that time. They fired TYLER who couldn't mange getting himself out of a paper bag. Today Edrick wanted me to talk to the new manager. This place is a joke please don't waste your money here like I did. They still haven't honored the promise of getting another car to replace mine.

Here we go again!!! It's been a while since I gave graced the online community with my critique of our local business community. I'm disappointed because I didnt think the treatment was as bad as it could be, but a smile In your face could turn into a knife in your back!! So let me get into it. I was looking into getting a car (again) and I stopped by the local dealership for a quick test drive. The test drive went well and I proceeded inside to see what they could do me for. I told them I was pre approved, but they insisted that I needed to run a credit check with them (for what I do not know) but I was assured that it would be a soft pull on my credit so I said what the heck! lets do it. After the "Check" I was given some numbers to consider nothin appealing so I decided to think about it, since appearantly there is no difference between a used and new car these days when you adjust for the interest rate. Fast forward to today, this morning I got an alert, as I monitor my credit closely as should we all! and low and behold like an ugly sweater at christmas a hard inquiry!!! I should have known, but I guess I am too nice to people, now I get to try and scrub that sommamabitch from my credit report for the next six months!!!! Thanks Cardinale Nissan you gave me the gift that keeps on giving!! read more

Probably one of the worst experience ever especially dealing with a girl name Haley. She promised a manager that will be contacted me and it's been over 72 hours and nothing. Also, when I try to ask about dealer add-ons, she had the audacity to tell me " we have cheaper inventory, because money seems to be an issue for you". And when I pointed that out to her, she tried to deny it and I'm sure she deleted my file that way no manager will call me and I would not report her action. I guess I will take my business somewhere else that will treat me with respect. read more

The salesman Chris was knowledgeable of the product and pleasant to talk to.

We were in and out in about 45 minutes and it was smooth all the way around. read more

Wildly dishonest. After listing my car on Kelly Blue Book, I received multiple calls from Nissan Monterey asking to purchase the car. They promised that if I drove down, it would take 10 minutes to look at it and give me a price. They claimed they would "at least beat Carmax" and I'd be out of there fast with a check. After three calls, I thought they really wanted the car so I drove over, letting them know I was on my way. When I arrived, the assessment was over 30 minutes before offering nearly 10% under the Carmax quote. Total waste of time and I left feeling duped by a slimly used car salesman. If you're interested in a Nissan, it's worth a driving to another dealership. read more
