Car Starter Istall @ FS - 2007 Altima
Hey Guys,
My GF bought a Nordic Start car starter from Future Shop back in December that came with free installation.
So she goes into FS and sets up an appointment for the install and after she takes a day off work and goes to drop off the car they tell her that they made a mistake and thought that the car was really a 2006 model and now there is going to be another 250 dollar charge for the install.
I'm thinking this is crap so I did some research.
I realize that there are some security systems on the altima that need to be bypassed etc, and that this takes longer. But I also feel like this should have been explained to my GF when she bought the car starter as it even says ont eh receipt that it includes the installation.
So anyways, I called NIssan and asked them about a car starter. They started telling me horror stories of people having it done at FS and Visions etc, where thousands of dollars in damage had been done to the ignition system and other electronics due to the hack jobs done by the installers. NIssan also told me that the warranty would be voided if any wires were cut or spliced into.
So.... I call FS to see if they can stop the install but they are already 'well into it'. OK fine. The guy said that they arent going to cut any wires and that the warranty wont be voided.
They started working on the car around noon, apparently had 2 guys on it, and they didn't finish (or bother calling at least) until 10 minutes before 9 pm when FS is closed. Leaving just enough time for my GF NOT to get there before the store closes to pick up teh car.
They also let her know that they have never done an install on this car before...
So shes going to grab the car today, I havent heard anything yet as its still early int he morning and im out at work.
Should we be worried about the car?
Has anyone else had experiences with car starters and new altimas?
Thanks for the advices
