    For today's visit the repair my car has been delayed by 7 to 10 days. The part they ordered for my car was the wrong part delivered which is why it's gonna take 7 to 10 days for the new part to arrive. The silver lining in this is that I get a loaner for free while my car is being repaired. When I receive my car, I will see if I will upgrade the review of three stars to a higher level.

    BEWARE of Predatory Practices and Disrespectful, Mysogynistic and Xenophobic Management from the manager Muhammad Alam at Gardena Nissan.
    Tiara O.

    I'm writing this review to protect others from experiencing what my mother and I went through at Gardena Nissan, specifically with the general manager, Mohammed. My mother was misled into thinking she was able to get a newer car with a cheaper monthly car payment from an advertisement sent to her, when in fact, she was being pushed toward carrying two car notes--despite telling them she couldn't even afford a down payment. Mohammed used ambiguous language that made it sound like the advertisement was accurate, clearly taking advantage of my mother who isn't familiar with the process. When I asked questions to clarify, he became condescending and rude, saying things like, "I told you it wasn't a trade," in a patronizing tone. Then he crossed a serious line--making personal, inappropriate comments to and about me. He said I was "horrible," questioned if I "go to pawn shops," asked why I wasn't smiling, and even suggested my mother would get a better deal if I didn't go with her next time. His behavior was misogynistic, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. While the sales reps were polite and respectful, the general manager's sneaky tactics and disgusting comments made it clear: this dealership does not operate in good faith. Avoid Gardena Nissan--not just for your financial safety, but for your personal dignity.

    The review Muhammad dictated for himself on my phone

    I normally don't write reviews, but my experience at Gardena Nissan has been deeply upsetting, confusing, and honestly unlike anything I've ever gone through at a dealership. On December 6th, 2025 I went to inquire about a trade in deal sent to my uncle via mail and spent over three to four hours at the dealership. During that time, I repeatedly told the manager, Muhammed, that I did not want to move forward with the lease. Despite this, I was continually pressured and reassured that they could "work something out," lower the price, pay part of my deposit, cover registration and the first month, and make it "affordable" --but only if I didn't tell the bank. I said no multiple times, but the pressure didn't stop. I was also there with uncle and my two young cousins, who are only six and seven years old. They were restless, irritable, and needed my attention as we were only going to inquire rates on a trade in they sent in the mail but denied once we got there. I was overwhelmed trying to watch them, read paperwork, and defend myself against the constant pressure. Instead of recognizing that I was clearly stressed and vulnerable, I feel the dealership took advantage of that situation. After nearly 3-4 hours of back-and-forth and waiting, I eventually signed because I was exhausted and felt worn down, not because I was confident or willing. Before I even left the dealership, the manager, Muhammad asked me to write a review. When I scanned the QR code another salesman started telling me something about the car. As my attention is now on this man, Muhammad literally takes my phone out of my hand, hit the speech-to-text button, dictated his own positive review, and submitted it under my name. I didn't even get a chance to write my own honest opinion. That night, I couldn't sleep. I felt sick about the contract, the pressure, and how everything happened. The very next day, I returned to the dealership hoping for help, but the way I was treated was shocking. The tone completely changed. Instead of empathy or professionalism, Muhammad told me they couldn't help me, couldn't cancel anything, I wasn't getting any money back, that everything was my fault because I signed, it's done and he can't help me. He refused to give me copies of my documents, refused to provide paperwork from the bank, and acted like I was a problem rather than a customer seeking clarity. On my next visit, it got even worse. He accused me and my sister of yelling when we were simply trying to talk. He was dismissive, talked over us, and treated us with disrespect -- behavior he did not display when my uncle was present. The difference in treatment felt misogynistic and demeaning. Even if the dealership disagreed with my position, the lack of empathy, professionalism, and respect I received was shocking. This all happened within 24 hours of signing the lease. I left the car with them the next day ( December 7th 2025) after being told by their own finance staff that the contract could be cancelled, leaving the keys+car fully in their possession and the dealership has been inconsistent and contradictory ever since. It is heartbreaking and honestly traumatizing to walk into a dealership expecting professionalism and honesty, only to feel pressured, misled, and disrespected -- especially after returning less than 24 hours later asking for help, with the car fully in their possession. I'm sharing this experience because I do not want anyone else--especially another woman--to go through what I went through. No one should feel pressured into a contract, denied their legal documents, or spoken to with disrespect the moment they ask for help. I hope management, Nissan corporate, and future customers take this seriously. No one deserves to experience this.

    Zero stars if possible, I got my Nissan Quest to Gardena nissan, I recently move to Hawthorne and it was the nearest nissan dealer to my new place, long story short, I had a Recall on my fuel gauge due to not reading accurately not a super big deal to me but my wife got stranded a couple of times, well, first thing on my visit a very aggressive service advisor (Chis) tried to over sell me $225 on diagnostic services which I refused to agree because I didn't have any other problems with my mini van (no check engine light or any other lights), then he threatened saying I was gonna have future problems with more components if I refused to have the scanner connected on to my car ($225 charge to do it), I asked him to just take care of the Recalled components and I said I didn't have any other concerns with my vehicle. I picked my vehicle the following morning and after my commute to work the check engine light went on I called back to the service department and a very kind lady asked me to take back my vehicle back to the service department to have it checked up back again and to have the problem corrected she sounded concerned about it, I drove it back to the dealership and again Chris was there ready to collect the $225 and he refused to check in my vehicle in unless I signed a document on which I had to agree to pay for the $225 dollar to get my car inspected, when I left my car there it didn't have any check engine light on all I wanted was to have my vehicle back with out an additional problem. I recently connected my neighbors car scanner to my car and guess what! the problem is coming from the fuel gauge circuit that they just repaired. Now my car doesn't pass smog check this is very frustrating, I'm very upset and defenely I don't recommend this shop to anyone just look for another nissan dealer, this is fraud so you know. And no the fuel gauge isn't fixed I still have the same problem as when I left it there the first time to be repaired under a recall. Most likely nissan already paid them for the repair that they didn't perform correctly. I wish that they will take responsibility. I'll write an update if they reach up to me with a solution. All I want is to have my fuel gauge repaired as per the Nissan recall and to have the code to be cleared for good.

    I normally go to a different Nissan where I purchased my car but I needed something done quickly. I purchased the clips needed to attach the engine undercover cover. Gilbert, in Parts, was super friendly and helpful. Carlos, the Service Advisor, was great. I wasn't charged for the work, which I really appreciated. I knew it was a quick job, so I'm grateful.

    Kudos to Gardena Nissan and the outstanding experience provided by the Costco Auto Program! Jose, Joselyn, Mohammad and Mufasa made the car buying experience so easy, transparent and without hassle. Both provided an outstanding buying experience. Pre-register at the Costco Auto Program on-line first.

I, of course, told her that I don't hear anything (wishful thinking on my part). So I take it in to Torrance Motors without an appointment and ask if they could take a quick look at it to verify it is still safe to drive, as we had a long upcoming trip in a few days. They right away put it up on the lift and verified that it was safe to drive. However, the control arm, tie rods and bushings (leaking grease) were shot. Showed me the pictures and it was a mess. This level of repair was not cheap...but it was reasonable. No more complaints from my wife...at least about the car.

The alignment was slightly off at first, but they told me to bring it back and got it dialed in perfectly the following day. They stand behind their work and even told me to come back if anything needed to be re-torqued after the suspension settled. The results came out great. The stance looks much better with the factory rake reduced, and the ride quality still feels smooth and OEM-like. No noises, vibrations, or issues afterward. The vehicle drives straight and handles great. Professional service, quality work, and solid communication throughout the process. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a clean leveling spacer install done right.

    I used to work right down the street from Japanese Auto Center (JAC) since the early 2000s, but…read moretypically take my vehicle to the dealership for service. Looking back, that was a mistake. Recently, I needed to replace the evaporator core and expansion valve for my A/C, and the dealership quoted me almost twice what JAC did. Since it was such an expensive repair, I decided to give JAC a try, and I'm so glad I did. The first thing that impressed me was the size of the shop. They have multiple service bays, not just in the main area but in another section as well. More importantly, the customer service was outstanding. Whenever I called with a question, Kevin didn't have someone else relay the information--he got on the phone himself and kept me updated every step of the way. When the replacement part they received turned out to be defective, they handled it quickly and made it right without any hassle. Another thing I really appreciated was the complimentary rides to and from my home while my car was being repaired. Maria and Mario were both incredibly kind. Maria mentioned she had recently joined JAC after working as a parts driver for another company, and she had nothing but positive things to say about the people there, which spoke volumes to me. Then, over the weekend, while driving to Orange County and finally enjoying my cold A/C, I started hearing a strange wind noise coming from my convertible top. I thought maybe a seal had come loose, but when I got home and looked under the car, I discovered my engine splash shield had torn loose and was scraping the road. I called JAS right away, and they immediately contacted the parts department, ordered the replacement, and took care of it quickly. I want to thank the entire team. From Kevin, Roger, and Dan to Maria and Mario, everyone I dealt with was professional, honest, and genuinely helpful. It's hard to find a repair shop you can trust, but I can honestly say I trust JAC. They may not give your vehicle a courtesy wash before you leave, but if you're saving $$ is it really worth it? If you're looking for a great place to have your vehicle serviced, I highly recommend giving them a try.
