Jamie is an absolute legend! I was on a road trip through town when my transmission blew up, and I thought I was going to have a horrible trip. But luckily this place saved my day day! I work in the sales and service industry, and I can tell you that any bad reviews left on here are from people who come in with bad attitude's to begin with. Even though I was in a horrible situation, I came in with a good attitude, and I am the team went above and beyond to take care of us!!! By the time I left I wanted to hug the entire staff, we had such a fun time regardless of the circumstance. I spent the day making many phone calls to trusted friends who gave me sources to talk to throughout Santa Barbara, Ventura, back home in Orange County.... and this place hands-down had the best prices I could find anywhere, on top of incredible service. Thank you Brittany and Heather and everyone else who were so nice! read more

Alfredo was a wonderful salesperson. It all went very smoothly, with me in out the door in just a few hours. I love my Nissan Frontier 4x4 read more

Was told you need a new battery Three years+ and I still have same battery. Other work I was told I need local mechanic said NO you don't.

Stay away from these guys and hang onto your wallet I recently bought a used Nissan and took it to the local Dealer to have additional keys made While a regular key is $10 the key for the Nissan is $100 because there's a transponder chip inside the casement while I was there the service department did a review of the vehicle I won't go into detail because I don't want to identify who I am because I may need to go back and get parts But to give you example on how far out and vulgar the estimate was they said I need a new spark plugs, jamie service mngr quoted me $475 to put an eight spark plugs I went to O'Reillys and they could sell me eight for $31.95, of course I have to install them and I plan about an hour of my time to do that, also $275 To flush out my radiator I've gone online and looked at various Nissan chat rooms for other established Nissan owners and it appears that it's a very predatory environment going to the dealers for service, gee whiz it's really a shame because I'm pleased with the vehicle so far and relatively new to the brand but the service department is very Troublesome And as a new customer needing guidance the deck is stacked against you read more

We have a beater 2012 Versa that our teens use. We've taken the car in a couple times now and have always had a great experience. Easy to schedule appointment, no lines in the morning, reasonable costs and they call and keep you updated throughout the day. Last week brought the car in with a sidewall tire puncture. We had purchased the tires at SB Nissan about 6 months prior and they replaced the tire at zero cost - AND the car was filthy and they washed it sparkly clean without us even asking. Great quality service, no matter what the job. I wish every car dealer was like SB Nissan! read more

Just purchased a low millage used car 2015 Camero SS from Santa Barbra Nissan on Sat 4/8/23. The Good 1. Salesman was very responsive and helpful he even drove the 1.5hr to LAX to pick me at the airport as I was a out of state buyer. 2. As advertised low millage and in good shape. The Bad 1. I have bought a few cars out of state, and I have NEVER paid the state sales tax on the car I was buying it in. You always pay your home state sales tax for the state you live in once go to buy your plates and register the car. Now I will be paying sales tax TWICE on this car. 2. The car was not detailed for my pickup if it was it was not a good job. center consul had some sticky stuff all around the base of the sifter maybe spilled ketchup up I don't know. The carpets had not been shampooed huge stain on the carpet in the back seat behind the driver seat could have been a coke or something. 3. This one I blame mostly on myself as I did not check it before I left the dealership. The hood release will not pop open the hood at all. Now I will have to take it to a dealership in my home state to get this taken care of. Kinda of big deal you need to be able to open the hood. If you are an out of state buyer driving the car back home, I would not recommend this Dealership unless you like paying sales TWICE on your car. read more

Bottom Line: Avoid at all costs My wife and I wanted to check out a few of the Nissan Leafs that they had on the lot. We hooked up with Alfredo who was great. He was super knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He took us for a test ride and over all I liked the car a lot - I think its exactly what we needed as personally I hate going to gas stations. My wife hated it, which just means that we didnt get it. That is no reflection on the experience that we had with Alfredo - he was a pro and we really appreciated his expertise. We simply didn't buy the car. This is where things start to get interesting. Since we live in the neighborhood and have small kids, we are around this dealership all the time. The dealership is located next to one of the best parks in town so we are there a lot. As such, we have had some run-ins with people moving cars around, reversing backwards out onto the street at high speeds, zipping around stopped cars in the intersection at Hollister and Kellog, etc etc. There have been a few near misses with children that frankly were inappropriate and out of line. This has also happened on the freeway. Several times I have been passed by a group of cars at a very high rate of speed. I was cruising at around 80 and got passed like I was standing still (Mind you this hasnt happen once, its happened multiple times in one day). Since we were all going the same way we all got stopped at the light at the bottom of the 217 offramp. I was looking at the cars trying to figure out what was going on. One of the drivers was staring me down as I was checking them out. He even went as far as to 'mad dog' me as I drove past the used car lot. He stood on the sidewalk with his arms out, attempting to incite an incident as I drove with my kids in the back. Ive seen a few more Leafs on the lot and my wife said that she was interested in possibly looking again but based on the experiences we have had living near this dealership, we will not be going here under any circumstances. This blatant lack of regard for public safety is totally unacceptable. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

I went to find a towing adapter for my 2004 xterra today and as I figured it would not be in stock due to being a random item. They then pulled a few wire harness trays from the mechanic shop. They were filled with a bunch of random parts/pieces and proceeded to dig through it. After a few minutes they miraculously found exactly what I needed. Thanks guys!!! I just bought a boat and this will get me fishing tomorrow! read more

Purchased a car here 1 year ago. Salesman not very attentive. Staff and manager not willing to assist with basics needs. Buy from somewhere else read more

Everyone at Santa Barbara Nissan is amazing! Matt was my sales person and he was the best, he was kind and understanding and made sure that I went home with a car I loved. If I could I would rate them 100/10, You guys rock! read more

I cannot express sufficient gratitude to Jaime and the service team at SB Nissan. Beyond being fair, incredibly responsive and patient, the hand holding and compassion I received from Jaime as I navigated some tricky decisions around my vehicle were well above and beyond anything I expected. He patiently explained my options and stayed in direct communication every step of the way. I am very grateful to have a team that does excellent work and gives me the whole picture. This is one of the many reasons why Nissan is such a great company, they hire people like Jamie who put customers like me at ease. Thank you Jamie! read more

Fantastic customer service at this dealership!! Luck to work with Emily Lopez!! She is a gem!! She is kind, genuine, caring and very patient. We had been through a few bad experiences and Emily listened to our needs. Emily helped my daughter find the car of her dreams. read more

Santa Barbara Nissan was great to deal with. Edgar was the perfect salesman. We agreed upon a price before we made the two hour drive, and our trade-in value for our older car was very fair. It was very nice not dealing with the BS that one had to put up with at many dealerships. So far, the service is great! read more

Had an excellent experience buying my Nissan Rogue here and dealing with salesperson Matt . To top it off they even gave me a great value for my Lexus trade in. Will come back and try their service dept . read more

Very bad customer service. My wife called and spoke to Jaime he is a supervisor from the service center and he had a real bad attitude with her. We were going to bring our nissan in for repairs and he didn't want us to bring it in. We had just gotten the car and it's under manufacturer warranty. He said with an attitude you guys just got it and your bringing it already. Then he asked what is the name under when my wife said my name he interrupted her and said wth! and laughed at the name. We never took the car there we don't want or should deal with that kind of attitude. They don't care about the customers! They don't care about there customers! I was supposed to get a call from Edgar from Management never followed up regarding my complaint regarding Jaime the supervisor in the service department. SMH Stay away from this place if your able to everyone. They are total jerks!!! read more

Customer service poor/dim, mediocre work, and rip off over charges. I'll let you take the chance on them though, as I'm just a reviewer on your screen read more

I was dissatisfied with the way the handle the DMV fees. I never expected to get a bill after paying "in full" at the time of purchase. Still, they did follow-up. I wasn't happy to read that most of the EV isn't covered in the extended warranty. So, we will see if that option was a good idea. I definitely love my car. read more

Honestly the worst experience I've had with a car company. If they can't get a sale out of you they really don't care to help you. And instead of them doing their job I was given the runaround just to get my car serviced. Would not recommend getting a Nissan from this dealership or in general. My 2016 Nissan already has multiple issues both electrical and mechanical. read more

I was in search of a specific car and Emily helped me from start to finish getting the best deal as a first time buyer Emily came in on her day off to finalize deal for me and I appreciate that so much since I needed the car right away Ask for Emily Lopez! You won't be disappointed! read more

Needed a replacement for my convertible top for my 370Z convertible (because Nissan deemed their tops as "unserviceable "). These guys went out of their way to find (and install) a top for me when my local Nissan dealerships wouldn't even look at the top. We will only be coming here from now on. read more

Andy and Freddy are great to work with. Drove 3 hours and bought a used Nissan truck and a new car. Had a few bumps along the way but they worked hard to make it all better. Owner Doug stands behind his dealership and his team and I recommend making the drive and seeing them. Genuine and down-to-earth service. read more

My deepest thanks and appreciation to everyone at Nissan Santa Barbara for customer service and support above the call of duty. The Nissan Leaf is an excellent car, and truly wonderful to drive. read more

I've been bringing my car here for years and I always have a great experience. David was very helpful this time around, he's very knowledgeable when it comes to tires which I had concerns about. All my questions were answered and even got great tips on how to prevent further wear and tear. Their customer service is always great as well. read more

I live in Santa Maria and was here with my family looking around to get a car for my little sister. Was only our second stop in at Santa Barbara with a game plan of stopping at multiple dealerships. We were approached by this gentleman Robert who provided exceptional customer service alongside his manager Luis. We had such an amazing experience at this dealership, ended up purchasing a beautiful Dodge Dart and would definitely do it all over again at this dealership when we are in the market again. Thank you guys for making the trip down memorable and pleasurable. read more

This is my second new frontier I have purchased here. Got a great deal and Brittany was super cool. I'm stoked on the deal I got and love my new frontier!! read more

I just purchased a 2013 Lexus CT200h and I can't remember the last time I felt so good. I saw the car while driving past Nissan's used car lot. Instant attraction to it ! U turn to get a better look. It was a hot day and my dog was in the car so when offered a test drive I said I'd be back after dropping my doggy off at home. Straight back....gotta see how this car drives. Ryan was my salesman and he's awesome, along with a real cutie. We went out for a spin and I was in love. Unfortunately it was more than I could see myself spending. I had to leave in my old 2007 Honda, defeated. It took 3 weeks of grinding on the manager but it's now parked in my carport. My team Ryan, Luis and finance manager Alfredo were more than happy to sell me the car at the price I offered! I'd rate this transaction a 10* if I could. There's few moments in life like the one when you slip into your new car and drive it home. It's perfect for me. read more

Santa Barbara Nissan - It's almost to sexy for me. - Auto Repair Near Me - Goleta, California

A year ago, I purchased a 2018 Nissan Leaf S which became a total loss in an accident in May of 2019. While the car was destroyed, my daughter and I were able to walk away from the accident with some minor neck strain. Aside from the environmental benefits, the safety factor led to buying a 2019 Nissan Leaf S. Special thanks to my salesperson Yoselin who was patient with me on my many visits, Joe the sales manager, Cristy the owner, and Heather the finance manager worked with me to get me into a car at a price we felt was reasonable, and even approved financing for a lower interest rate than our pre-arranged financing from my bank! To be fair, I am one of these people who does my homework ahead of time - and no staff member at Santa Barbara Nissan was insulted by the fact that I was sitting there with my computer checking information, making financial calculations, and looking for discounts. I also like to keep trade-ins, financing, and purchasing as separate transactions. Even though I came in with financing pre-arranged, they made an offer we just simply could not refuse! Also, this is a family owned dealership and they can do things that large dealers cannot do. Yes, I did shopping around, which merely verified that this was the best deal. Finally, I also wanted to make this work for the dealership and the sales team as well. Our 2019 Nissan Leaf S is doing great, and while I sincerely hope not to have to buy another car any time soon, Santa Barbara Nissan worked to make the process easier for us. read more

6 weeks ago I took my car to Santa Barbara Nissan to have the Air Bag Module replaced. The mechanic told me that there were no parts at that time for my car, therefore they had to order the part, I told him that it was fine. After finishing to talk with the mechanic, I went to the parts store to order other parts for the same car, when I finished ordering the parts, the parts salesman told me, "Hey, you wanted the model to be changed of your Nissan? I said yes, and he said, here is the part for your car, if you want you can change the part to your car the other week, I said yes, then the parts seller said , the mechanic will call you in these days to make another appointment, from that time until now I have not received any call from the Santa Barbara Nissan. Waiting 6 weeks for the appointment. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUSSINESS. read more

I never thought I would find myself writing a positive review after selling my car to a dealership. And yet, here I am. Heather at Nissan of Santa Barbara was a pleasure to do business with. She stuck to the price offered via email, didn't try and sell me a car when I went there, and did exactly what she said she was going to do. Very happy to walk away feeling my beloved van went to a buyer who appreciated its value and paid me for it fairly. read more

There's an all-around great team at Santa Barbara Nissan with exceptional customer service! read more

Just got a new car and the staff was very attentive and helpful, everything was easy and quick, great service recommend 100%

I recently moved to Santa Barbara and was in need of finding a new place to service my 2009 Nissan Rogue. I initially took my car to West Coast Automotive, which was a good experience, for an oil change. When I picked up my car, they informed me that I needed a new boot for my front passenger axil. Since I know nothing about cars, I decided to get a second opinion and make sure this was really something I needed to spend $300 on, especially since I'm a poor grad student. I called Santa Barbara Nissan that day, and they told me to come down to them immediately. When I arrived, I was greeted by Justin, whom promptly lifted my car, and took me into the garage and showed me exactly what the problem was. He explained to be what the boot's purpose is and why is does need to be fixed. I REALLY appreciated this, as I was able to see and understand what was going on with my car. He told me he would beat the price I was quoted at West Coast Automotive. He ordered the part and scheduled me to come back a few days later. When I arrived for my appointment, I was promptly served. It took all of 5 minutes to check my car in- which any busy person appreciates! I was also asked if I needed a ride. I didn't, but it's great to know that they will give you a lift if you need one! Within 2 hours my car was ready to be picked up. Picking up my car was just as easy as dropping it off. They even did a full complimentary inspection of my car and provided me with a copy of the inspection sheet - thankfully, everything is looking good under the hood :) ! I will definitely be back! Also, an oil change is only $29.00 - which is a darn good deal! read more

Go anywhere else. Disorganized and disrespectful. Dropped my car off an hour after making the appointment... They got my appointment date wrong. Needed oil change and a flat tire fix. First they said they had the tire.... Then they didn't have the tire. Then they said they could patch it... then I get a call on my way to pick it up that they couldn't patch it. Huge waste of time. read more

I came here on one of the rainiest days of El Nino so far and had some of the best service I've had since moving to Santa Barbara. I'll spare you the details about my credit, but these guys are so courteous and willing to try everything to help me get financed. Loving my new Maxima! Special thanks to Alex Macias and Bob for going above and beyond! read more
