Nissan Parts Dept

I have been experiencing lots of problems getting the right part first time at the dealer. This happens when I try to order something out of the ordinary. Today the dealer could not order me the correct rear transmission oil seal. What they special ordered for me last summer was the differential seal. The listings on the dealership's parts dept. computer leave a lot to be desired. I left with the parts guy telling me he would have to call Nissan when they open on 27 Dec. What's up with that; thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions. This dealer treats me as a preferred customer so I do want to be positive here.


I forgot to mention; it's a 1985 300ZX, 2+2, 5 speed.

Welcome to my world. They look for the lowest cost person that can show up to work and here we are. I figtht with this on a daily basis.

There isn't any real waty around this except to hope they eventually get the right part. IMHO this is the worst part of my job!

Like I said in another post, the hardest part of repairing cars is trying to get the right parts. It's unbelievable how many times the wrong parts are sent to our shop.
