I
recently purchased a used Nissan Murano from Balise Nissan and need to share
about what a pleasant experience I had. I met salesman, David Grande, in the
parking lot in the pouring rain while looking at the cars on the lot. He was
pleasant, friendly and very laid back. I feel that he went above and beyond
through the entire process of purchasing this vehicle, for example staying
late to fit my work schedule, giving his own jacket to my son who was cold,
and moving all of my belongings from my old car to my new car for me again in
the rain while I was doing paperwork. I never felt pressured in any way and
was very comfortable with him. As a whole, the experience of purchasing a
vehicle at Balise Nissan went smoothly and pleasantly. I would most
definitely recommend this dealership to others. This is how buying a new car
should be!! --dealerrater.com reviewer
eguillemette Like many people I find buying a car a mix of fun offset by salespeople playing the same tired games. I was interested in a Murano and when greeted by Carvol I had all of my usual defense mechanisms engaged. I took me about thirty seconds to realize that Carvol was different - professional, polite, helpful and extremely knowledgeable on all of Nissan's models. Those same traits were amplified during two test drives of different models. At the end of that visit he quoted me a price that was the lowest I'd received, and in fact was the price I agreed to pay. Every aspect of the transaction was seamlessly handled by Carvol and Diane (finance) - thanks! Carvol introduced me to people in service (Lauren) and parts that I will deal with in the future and all thanked me for my business. I was particularly impressed with the effort applied in prepping the car and how they dealt with a smudge that I wasn't too worried about. I've received follow-up calls asking me how everything was going as well. In short, Carvol and the Balise team were great and a dealership that clearly sets standards and employ people who can meet them. --dealerrater.com reviewer eckpet I was very pleased with my experience at Balise. The salesperson was pleasant and knowledgeable. The sales manager was fair to deal with. I would definitely return to buy another vehicle and will recommend this dealership to friends. --cars.com reviewer harry Overall a good experience. Chris was very helpful and the rest of the staff was very friendly. Helped me to find the perfect car that fit me in the short amount of time I needed to purchase a car. This was my first time buying a car from a dealership and all of my questions were answered. They even sent someone to NJ so my mother could co-sign the paperwork. My boyfriend was able to speak with the mechanic and he was very helpful to him as well. Would definitely recommend this dealership. --dealerrater.com reviewer carly41808 I contacted the dealer through USAA car services. They were very helpful. I was contacted by Chris and he spent a lot of time chasing down different options, available colors within the U.S. on the East Coast (despite the pricing being contingent upon taking something in stock!). He was patient, not pushy and very helpful and flexibile. I bought the truck and the finance folks were fantastic. They gave me a great rate without trying to take advantage of me. They have agreed to put on some optional features at a great price. Overall, an extremely positive experience. I don't feel rushed, taken advantage of or like I just finished a wrestling match. --dealerrater.com reviewer bwarbuck My wife and I just leased our second maxima. It couldn't have been easier. Chris is honest, knowledgeable and willing to work with you to find a payment that fits your budget. We left knowing that we got the best deal possible. What more could you ask for. --dealerrater.com reviewer Teko555 This team went to bat for me. They exceeded my expectations and delivered high quality service and great value. I felt the whole time, that the associates where there for me and not just make a sale. They made me feel like a customer and not another check they get to put in thier pocket. I would recommend them as they really want to do whats right for you. --dealerrater.com reviewer nbk8u9v I wanted to take the time to show my appreciation and gratitude for the service I received from Balise Nissan. I had the pleasure to work with Richard today on the purchase of my new vehicle. I was first concerned with the overall process, as anytime one heads out to make a large purchase, the stomach can always turn when the numbers are put in-front of them. I am proud to say that the numbers on this transaction made sense for the value I was receiving from the Balise Nissan group. I thought the sales team worked well around the process of presenting the figures and options available to me. I thought Richard was efficient and clear when explaining what value I received when working with the Balise Nissan Team. I was proud to see that Richard answer all my questions and also addressed my concerns when I brought them to his attention. I also am very proud of the leader team that Balise Nissan has in place. I had the pleasure to also work with Steve on the process of options available to me. I believe Steve was fair in the value he gave me for my trade and also for the deal he was able to put together. I believe Steve went to bat for me and put together a deal that made good sense and gave me no hesitation to sign on the dotted line. I can't wait to have the pleasure to work with you all again on the purchase of my 2014 Maxima. Thank you for a great experience and exceptional service. You have both done what qualifies a gold standard and I can't wait to work with you again in the future. --email from Mynor A. As owners of a 2007 Nissan Quest, we were anxious to see the new 2011 Quest. As soon as one was delivered to Balise Nissan in Warwick, Chris Jutras called to let us know. We had previously talked with Chris about our plans for a new purchase and found him to be an exceptional young man. His concern, warmth and ability, coupled with his keen knowledge of the Nissan product made our visit a most pleasant one. Although the model that was in the showroom for us to see, was not the one that we were planning to purchase, Chris will contact us immediately when the 2011 Nissan Quest standard model is delivered to Warwick. We will then be more than pleased to visit Chris again and review that model and hope to take a test drive. We will do business with Chris...and only Chris....although the whole staff at Nissan/Warwick are great....Chris is our "man"!!! --dealerrater.com reviewer ANT711 Friendly and "normal" salesperson and staff. No pressure, quick, down to earth atmosphere. (Really liked the fact that the salesperson didn't seem like the typical pushy salesperson) Financing Department took care of us quickly with no problems. Car detail came out awesome. Great experience. Will definitely shop there again in the future. --dealerrater.com reviewer mollypl123 I had been to two car delaers previously. They were not very helpful. I went to Balise in Warwick-Chris Jutras went above and beyond the call of duty-he was very helpful and quite patient-Kudos to Chris-he is such an asset to the Balise organization. I am so pleased with the service and respect that I have received-I would go back in a heartbeat, and I would recommend Balise to anyone who is in need of a vehicle-Thank you, Balise!!!! Thank you Chris!!! --dealerrater.com reviewer jeenalee51 Overall I was very pleased with my experience at Balise Nissan. Although I went in on an extremely busy weekend, I received personal attention and had the feeling that the staff wanted me to be comfortable with my new lease. I am thrilled with my new car and know that if I had any future problems or questions, they are just a phone call away. --dealerrater.com reviewer zoe0726 I would just like to say, your staff at your nissan dealership were excellent to me. I came in knowing exactly what I wanted; a low mileage, well maintained Altima 2.5s. Kyle lined up three different options for me, We found one that was well priced and extremely low mileage. He was up front with me and completely honest. There is a noticeable scratch on the car and the sales manager told me that part of the deal in getting that car would be to get it fixed free of charge as it is a scratch that would require two days in the body shop. He also garaunteed a loaner for me so I would not be without a car. That kind of service is great in my books. The attention to detail and excellent customer service was the main reason I bought my second car from Balise. I bought my first truck from your toyota dealership. Overall I am glad I came back as a repeat customer and I beleive your Nissan dealership should get the recognition for their excellent knowledge and customer service! --Tell Mike submission from Christopher H. I found the friendliness of the persons I dealt w/ to be exceptional. The car buying process is never easy, it is always painfully long. There are no problems with the people, it is the process, that needs work. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a Nissan vehicle. I do feel that my salesperson (Carvol Coleman) was superior in insuring that I needed to know/meet all the personnel I will need to be in contact with, and where everyone is located. --dealerrater.com reviewer cshort25 I am writing to tell you how spectacular I think your sales team is...beyond my expectations. Mike, your manager, is the epitome of customer service. I approached Mike, needing to use your facilities,assuring him we were in the market for a Rogue. Mike handed me his business card and said if anybody bothered us to let them know I had already spoken to him. Wow! Not being bothered on the car lot when all we wanted to do was look...kudos!That's why we hate looking at vehicles, the pressure of a sales person! We loved your sales team. Larry,the salesman who took me on my test drive was outstanding! He was knowledgeable and positive and to find out at the end of the test drive he had only been there for three weeks...again wow! While running all of my information through your system Mike recongnized how uncomfortable my 16month old son was becoming...he offered to get everyting ready and have us come back the next day when all the paperwork was completed. Hello? Does customer service get any better then what we experienced today? I think not! This is my first Nissan and I assure you this won't be my last. Balise Nissan is the only place to buy a car. --Tell Mike submission from Courtney Z. All in all, a VERY positive experience! My salesman, Carvol Coleman, was courteous and knowledgeable. He knew his product as well as the competitive products. There were never any awkward "high pressure" moments. I am COMPLETELY comfortable recommending him as a reputable salesman. The sales manager as well as the finance manager were pleasant, transparent and personable. Balise Nissan gets two thumbs WAY UP in my book! --dealerrater.com reviewer tarvisais I would recommend Balise Nissan to my friends. The saleman greeted us very politely. We told him we were interested in a used car. He directed us to where they were and told us to see him if we had any questions about the vehicles. The purchasing process went very well. Carvol was polite, not pushy and explained everything in detail. --dealerrater.com reviewer lindaa Carvol was great and very friendly! He helped me find the perfect car for me in the right price range without making me feel like I was just another sale. I truly appreciated all his help. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a new or used Nissan. --dealerrater.com reviewer ashleys28 I was definitely happy with my sales process. This is definitely a team that walks the walk of customer service. Bob C really knows his business and zeroed in on my needs right away. The managemnt team was always there to check in on how I was doing and ensured I was being well taken care of. I will return to Balise for my next car and certainly will recommend them to others. As a sales person, I appreciate the way I was treated and for the timely calls from Bob to check in and ensure I was happy. I am! Thank you Team Balise! --dealerrater.com reviewer carolekon Brought daughter to lease new 2011 Nissan Altima. Carvol was the most honest upfront salesman i have encountered. He was knowledgeable on the Vehicle and was able to put my daughter in a vehicle with the equipment and price she wanted. he gave us his undivided attention till we were totally satisfied.I would refer my family, friends and co-workers to Carvol. --dealerrater.com reviewer ronpirolli Carvol was a great guy! Very honest and found exactly what i wanted. I leased a car before i leased this one and i would lease again with nissan balise. Carvol made sure i knew exactly where everthing was and how to use the car. Carvol made me feel comfortable. I had a great experience with Nissan Balise! --dealerrater.com reviewer apirolli86 The car buying process was very smooth. Carvol was very easy to talk with and was clear on what was being said. I had gone to ConsumersReports to start the process. They came up with Balise as having the best price with discount. I would recommend the dealer and Carvol for the car buying experience. --dealerrater.com reviewer Richard Wingate I was looking for a Nissan Juke and went on the internet, Christopher Jutras not only e-mailed me but called the next day. Chris took the time to understand what I was looking for. His no pressure sales approach made me want to test drive the car. Along with the great service from Chris I purchased the car. --dealerrater.com reviewer dennybee i had the best car buying experience you could hope for. the salesman was extremely knowledgeable of the product, answered all my questions and took care of everything in a timely manor. i received the value i expected for my trade and car the car i wanted at a great price that was no more than i expected it to be. everyone i worked with there was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. i would definitely recommend balise nissan to my friends and family. i love my new car! --dealerrater.com reviewer jackie79 I had a great experience at Balise Nissan. I had been shopping around for about a month, when a friend had told me about a commercial that Balise had been running about a year end clearance event. So I stopped in. I had an 08 Altima I was looking to trade in early and wanted to be right around the same monthly payment but wanted to get into the 2011 Rogue. Before I knew it Corval had reached my target payment and I was driving off the lot in my new Nissan Rogue. I recently went there to pick up my registration, and Corval asked me how I liked my car. I told him I loved even if it was a little dirty because of all the snow we just received. He went above and beyond his call of duty and offered to wash off the car. Overall Im estatic with the customer service i have received and will reccommend it to all my friends and family. --dealerrater.com reviewer nicole41usa This was by far the best car-buying experience I have ever had. All of the upfront selection and price negotiation was done online and over the phone with Chris. No high pressure sales pitch trying to get me to buy something I didn't want or need...NOT ONCE did I hear "What's it going to take to put you in this car today?". It was a business transaction - as it should be. Four days after my first conversation with Chris, I drove off the lot with the exact Altima that I wanted for the price I wanted. I am recommending Balise to friends, family and total strangers who will listen to me. --dealerrater.com reviewer Sasha&Zeus had a great time. made it very easy. will keep buying cars. have sent friends and family and they also have found it to be very easy. you get what you want with out the back and forth of other dealerships. chris made me feel welcomed and took the time to answer all my questions. --dealerrater.com reviewer sarah772 I have bought a couple of cars from this dealership,everyone that I dealt with was very professional and they got me in a car that I thought I would not be able to get. I have sent friends and family there. The salesperson Chris and finance manager Diane were the most professional and courteous people. The General Manager Steve was a big help also. If you need a new or used car this is the place to go to. --dealerrater.com reviewer jlmallways2 We live in Westminster, Maryland and had narrowed our search down to a 2008 Nissan Armada, LE(during early 2010)...I was searching the internet non stop to find the exact color, etc...I was willing to fly in and drive the SUV back home...we initially put money down on one in New Jersey, DON'T ever buy/look at a vehicle from New Jersey; they sold it to someone else the day before we were supposed to pick it up and did not tell us...I was extremely upset and weary of the internet after that....After looking at one locally~that they would NOT certify, I found the perfect Armada online at Balise Nissan...priced way better than anyone else, considering mileage and it was certified! I was a little hesitant but called anyways....Chris gave me all of the information regarding the vehicle, he even had to walk out to find out a few things that were not listed, in the COLD...I told him what happened to us before, he was very understanding and guaranteed he would not sell it to anyone else....I would fly in to pick up the vehicle and we set it all up (and it was not immediate, I spoke to him on a Wednesday and could not fly out that weekend, so it was the next Friday)...Chris picked me up from the airport and drove me to the dealership...the SUV was exactly as described, even with a few surprise extras (the headphones were in the vehicle, vehicle dvd, etc...)...they had all the financial paperwork ready (in the % that we had wanted for financing)...Chris set up my bluetooth and already had my home set in the gps...Chris and the rest of the dealership were fantastic and when my son is ready to buy his car I will definitely check out their inventory...I would without hesitation tell everyone/everywhere that Chris Jutras and Balise Nissan should be your number 1 choice to buy a vehicle. --dealerrater.com reviewer savagehohman My whole expirience at Balise Nissan was awesome! Chris went above and beyond his job description...he was so patient, kind and caring. I would go back to Chris and Balise for all of my future car purchases! Balise is very easy to get to. It is right off of the highway. --dealerrater.com reviewer Janey R. Excellent customer service, great sales people, and a fantastic finance manager. I would recommend this dealership to anyone looking to buy a new nissan or a used car. I have sent friends and family to this dealership and they have all had the same great experience. --dealerrater.com reviewer nduback good experience in all facets of the sale process with chris jutras on the sale of the car. he answered all questions and was very knowledgeable and worked to get me the best deal posssible. aal aspects of sale went well without any issues. i would reccomend the dealership to all. --dealerrater.com reviewer barryrafanelli Balise is the best Auto Dealer in RI because of the dedication of each and everyone of your employees especially Chris in Nissan Service. I took my 2005 Nissan Pathfinder which was 1000 miles over the extended warranty in for a oil change and a issue with the transmission. After the tech and I took a ride it was determined that I needed a new transmission and a new radiator. This was due to the radiator lines braking in the transmission and leaking coolant in the transmission. Chris informed me the price and I explained that I couldn't afford to have it repaired at this time. Chris suggested to call Nissan USA and explain to them what was going on and see if they would help in anyway. I was then assigned a Case Mrg and he said he'll call my service rep at the dealership. Chris explained to the Case Mrg all of the work I've had done at your shop even oil changes. It was a an hr after my Case Mrg got of the phone with Chris that I was informed that Nissan USA would be taking care of the work need to my truck. I want to say how thankful I am to your dealership and Chris for taking them time to help me. I will never forget what your dealership did for me and my family. When I need a new truck or when it's time for my wife to get a new car we will be buying it from Balise and of course I'll continue to have my Pathfinder serviced at Balise. Thanks for everything. --Tell Mike submission from Donald H. The sales man at this dealer was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the car. He did not push me into buying the car and also provided me with all inputs on the dealer discounts and company rebates that I will be eligible for. I had looked at an 2010 altima and was able to drive it home purchasing at a price that was 100 under my min budget and get a great financing rate at the same time. I would recommend this dealer any time. Have been going to Balise for my other car - 2001 toyota for the past 9 years. Their service is also excellant. --dealerrater.com reviewer ashikk My wife and I want to thank you for referring us to you Warwick dealership. We drove down to Warwick after work last night about a 2 1/2 hour drive from our Westfield, Ma home and we meet with Stevan a very nice and sincer man. While he was dealing with our paperwork another very nice and very tall man named Carvol Coleman showed us all the bells and whisles the Murano. As I'm writing you this e mail my wife just informed me that a third person there needs recognition too and her name is Diane Morissette, she came in from home to help Steve out with some paperwork so we could take the car that night. I think in the least these three people should get a phone call from you to tell them how happy they made us and especially my wife for making this happen for her. It was her first brand new car ever! This time it was well worth the trip to Rhode Island. They were very easy to work with, friendly, no presure and made us feel comfortable there. tell them they did a great job! It's too bad people don't buy cars every day, I would go there again and again. --Tell Mike submission from Jay and Sue B. I purchased a new 2010 Nissan Maxima at this dealership and had an excelent experience. The two gentlemen I dealt with were professional and knowledgeable. The salesperson and sales manager worked with me not against me like other dealers I have been to.The sales experience was easy and honest. --dealerrater.com reviewer GJ33 Chris Jutras was awesome. Really appreciated his down to earth and honest style. A very refreshing change from typical used car salesman. --survey responder Gregory P. Purchased two 2011 vehicles in one month from Chris. He's a great guy and treated us well! --survey responder Christa S. The staff was very cordial, no pressure, and willing to listen & help. They were also very patient with me. I test drove 3 vehicles. They answered all my questions as well. A very good buying experience. Thanks. --survey responder Joseph M. Jose Tevarus is the best sales person that I have ever spoken to. He is detail oriented, very knowledgeable about the car and does not give half baked information. I would give him a 15/10 if there was a rating scale. Balise Nissan is a good dealership and I would recommend all my friends to buy their car from Balise and from Jose Tevarus. The only reason I managed to finally buy a Nissan Versa SL is Jose Tevarus and Balise Nissan. Hope he gets the sales person of Balise award for the year 2010. Excellent business service from this kid! --survey responder Saraswathy S. This is the first time that I have ever enjoyed buying a new car. The salesman, Jason Carlson, was the best salesperson I have ever dealt with. He had total knowledge of every detail of my new automobile. He went above and beyond in every aspect of the entire sales process. Because of him, I will definately return to Balise to purchase any future cars. I will also not hestitate to recommend Balise to anyone. I have been bragging about my experience to everyone, especially dealing with Jason. Also, Michael J. Sepe was very helpful. --survey responder Deborah M. Balise took the time, to take an interest in our needs and wants in a vehicle. Worked with us an made our experience over all very satisfing.Chris our sales person was upfront and willing to work with us, and we would definitly recommend Balise Nissan to anyone. Thank You again. --survey responder Raymond J. I really wanted to be sure of my purchase. Not only with the car, but also with financing. Tim, went above and beyond to accomodate me the best he could and he put up with alot! We did also have alot of laughs along the way! Chris and Mike also did their share of making sure I was satisfied. They all were great! --survey responder Belinda C. My salesperson Tim Plouffe was extremely knowledgeable and sold me on buying the Frontier. Thanks, John --survey responder John P. Mr. Monterio was extremely conscientious and professional in his dealing with us. He worked hard to meet our needs for financing and listened to all of our concerns, helping us to make a very informed decision. We feel he is a first-class salesman who we would be pleased to recommend to friends and family in the future. We would like to thank Mr. Monterio for all of his efforts in helping us with this purchase. --survey responder Norman M. My salesperson and finance manager were awesome. --survey responder Nicole D. I didn't want to have to get a new car - but the lease was up on my other car, my nephew (who works a Balise) suggested a Nissan. So I went to take a look & I liked what a saw! My sales rep was Awesome! I told him my situation...how much I could spend...could he help me?? He sure did! He made the whole car buying (leasing) situation a pleasant one - Thanks to Chris! --survey responder Jean J. I have been looking at this model Nissan for some time and just like that, yesterday, I went to Balise and the price was just great and now I am the proud owner of my new Nissan, so thank u again, can hardly wait to show the gals this am. --survey responder Pat P. Chris was the most wonderful salesperson I have ever met...He was friendly, knowledgeable, honest, supportive (we flew up to RI from MD to purchase our 2008 Nissan Armada), etc (I could go on and on)...He truly made this experience a breeze...I would suggest to anyone interested in purchasing a vehicle to go to Balise Nissan and see Chris! --survey responder Rachel H. I visited many Nissan dealers and on line and received a lower price but because of the time and very courteous attention given us by salesman Jason Carlson we decided on Balise. He took the time to go through every feature the Murano had. Being in business myself i know a good sales person when I see one. In Jason I see one. --survey responder Anthony D. My lease on my Murano SL was above my expectation. I have been through so many Bait and Switch sales people this past month. It was a great experience working with Steven and Carol at the Nissan in Warwick RI. Steve I think went above the rest of the Nissan dealers and confirmed our deal VIA email before I even arrived. I requested a verification not because of Steven and being a man of his word. But because my husband and I had been shopping for a month and even traveled to Inskip Nissan in Warwick RI only to endure another bait and switch sales tactic again. I was very unsure if I should trust anyone to say "Yeah I can do that". I would recommend this dealership even though it is a couple hours away from our home! Doing business with a person who is a man/woman of their word is very rare these days and very nice to see there are some legitamate business still around. I love my Nissan Murano and plan on purchasing it at the end of my lease. I took the lease option to make it more affordable at this time. I think Mike Balise and this dealership should have an award like #1 Nissan Dealership in New England and be listed on the Nissan Website so people do not waist time trying to find the best deal! --survey responder Suzanne B. | ![]() Sitting down to write a review is probably not the first thing on your mind after driving home in your new car or picking up your vehicle from service. Thank you for your kind words and for going out of your way to tell other people about your experience at Balise! ![]() ![]() ![]() |
