Don't know if you guys remember the alignment deal that ended on Saturday, Jan 26th. But I took my Z in for the 4-wheel alignment on Jan 26th for $20 and everything was fine. However, my driver-side window failed on this past Sunday so I took it to Performance yesterday and while they fixed everything (replaced both motors, good job Performance!), their inspection states I need rear alignment. Was wondering if WCN only did the front and forgot about the rear. I doubt 3 weeks of normal commute will mess up my rear alignment that bad. WCN? What's your take?

I had a horrible experience this past weekend there. Went in with my oil, to get an oil change like i've been doing on my 07 for close to a year now. New service writer i havent seen before named jeffrey lloyd has something really far up his a$$ and spoke to me like i'm an imbecile when I told him to check my brakes because they have been making noises. he claimed ALL Z's do that **** and it's normal. Right.......... The whole time he doesn't make eye contact with me and is ignoring me and giving me this attitude like I slapped his mother.. (this is after Reuben the service manager said that doesnt sound right and said it'd get checked up) Reuben laters apologizes to me and says that jeffrey is having a really bad day. Go home then. Don't take it out on me. I didn't disrespect him in anyway for him to come off with such a negative vibe towards me. I hope they send me a report so i can flame this d*ck to hell.(Second thought I don't even give a **** about the survey) Everyone else that works there (all the latin people that I talked to) were more than courteous.
WCN service has gone to ****. I remember when Tim Lange was there everything was gravy. He'd go on rides with me to further understand what is wrong. Only reason I'd go there still is because I can visually watch my car be worked on. Oh the old sweet days of WCN are GONE.. lol A dealership is a dealership. What's new...

that kinda pissed me off....
and then he tries to pull some sort of 'how much do you know about your z' trick question on me about tire rotation.. it took me a second to answer him and he's like 'AHHHHH!!!! *points and laughs*'
i mean.. a joke is a joke, sure.. but.. we're not in kindergarten here.

The backs take like 30 minutes to an hour at most to remove the 2 of them
fronts are always a pain, even on other cars not just the Z.
But still, paying over $200 for spring install is ridiculous!

i go to westco for maintenance/service plan/warranty stuff, and to buy parts from cuz their prices are decent.
installs, from now on, will be done at precision z. got my springs installed there last week and it was great.. good experience, good customer service, some great conversation with ed and the rest of the crew.

Yes jeffrey is the old white guy and yes I did go on saturday. That guy needs to find another job where he doesn't need to associate with someone else. And trust me, I'm not asking him to be smoochin my a$$, i just need mutual respect. Not even treat me with more respect because i'm a customer, but how about as a person? 
Funny you say he owned a Z. I would expect him to be more knowledgeable than that. After I argued with him about it being not normal and that the service manager even agreed with me, he simply replied with.. "Yea, your right." WTF? Then why sit there and **** around the bush and get a customer pissed off? LOL.. FAIL

well i was never going to post it, but I've had problems with the mechanics there. When they drove my car for a test (without my consent), they apparently dont know how to drive cars with a nismo v2 (wasn't even lowest yet at the time), and scrapped the **** out of the bottom of the bumper. I ended up getting it repainted by my own bodyshop, they wanted me to go to their bodyshop. Yeah right. They also washed my car when I specifically told the service writer to not wash, the mechanic didn't even pay attention and they scratched the paint up. Had to get it professionally detailed. Can't trust anyone but thetech and yourself to work on your car. Sucks but its how to get it done right.
