Need good dealer in central FL
Hello all,
Purchased a used Z (perf, 8700 mi) in NY the day after xmas and drove it home to Tampa, FL. When I picked up the car, it had some abnormal road noise, which at the time, I assumed was just the road noise from a tight suspension. Now that the car has been home for a few weeks, the noise is very loud, and I realize I have a bad case of tire feathering. I can feel almost an 8th inch difference on the treads in the inner front tire treads.
I need a GOOD dealer in the Tampa, FL area (I don't mind a drive if it's worth it).
I'm looking to get front replacements, and avoid the band-aid fixes. I have read many horror stories on this and other forums about how nissan and it's dealers are dealing with this. I only have ~1000 mi/ 2 months of tire warranty left, and I would like to start off in the right place.
Thanks in advance, help is much appreciated.
Nick.

Nick,
Reed Nissan, West colonial drive , Orlando are very good.
Call them and tell them that your tires are shot, the dash is virating when braking, and you feel the tires are unsafe. Also tell them you would like a replacement, then say thet you are going to: report it to Nissan , get a case number, tell them that the tires feel and sound unsafe.
Also get a free 4 wheel alingned on their new equipment they just had installed, with the correct toe specs etc. this should be done after the new tires have been replaced.
You should geta call back from Nissan or the dealer saying that you can have the front tires replaced.

Dealers near Tampa
C_Ronius,
Was curious to know if you checked out Autoway Brandon where I bought my roadster. I have my first maintenance date coming up. I really would like to know if there is such a thing as "dealer service dept. ratings" so we could choose the best one around the Tampa, St Pete, Clearwater area.
