I would start with the one closest to work or home, because you're gonna need service at some point and convenience is a good thing. If you build a good relationship with your dealer, future service issues are much easier. If you don't like or trust the closest dealer, then definitely go somewhere else.

That said, I have had good luck with Courtesy Nissan in Richardson. I bought a 1990 300ZX from their sister-dealer in Austin, but had all my service done at Courtesy. And, I bought my 350Z from Courtesy. They've been good to me. They have good parts and service departments, and their website is popular and well-known, even in other parts of the country.

Igo to Thornhill but its in Ft Worth. Never had a problem with them so far. The one time I had an issue with them was when they reinstalled my popcharger after replacing my ac hose that it had worn a hole in and the guy who did it accidently had the wires for the maf rubbing against the strut base.

Went in and they quickly fixed it and sent me on my way. Overall I've had good experiences with them.

Grubbs Nissan can suck my nutts. [/rant]

Ok, sorry about that. I've had bad experiences with Grubbs. I would recommend Don Davis Nissan in Grapevine hands down. If you don't go there, then goto Don Davis in Arlington. I've had nothing but GREAT experiences at both places, especially Grapevine. I bought my Z from Grubbs, and that was a bad idea.

Just traded in my 03 Touring Coupe to get a 06 Black Touring Roadster at Nissan of McKinney. Great experience. My salesperson was Rick Butler. He is good guy. Negotiations were intense but I came out a happy customer. Terry Gillian sp? is the head of new car sales and I duked it out with him but in the end I got what I wanted and he was very respectul throughout the whole process. Tell them Sean with the Black 06 Touring Roadster sent ya.

PM me for the price I got if you are interested.

Good Luck and I Freaking Love my Roadster!

i'd definitely send James^^ at Don Davis a PM or something.

I actually got mine at Courtesy in Richardson. I'd also highly recommend them, but i did something similar to what James is wanting you to do. I had another car serviced there for a few years and my service tech hooked me up with the fleet mgr. so any type of "way in" is usually your best route.
