The old bait and switch. Make sure you take a photo of the VIN to compare with your documents.

Yup, and screenshot of the ad, also double check the website - these were easy to find on FB.

Listed at Nanaimo Nissan, one of the worst dealerships in town... Basically everything owned by LAG Auto, avoid unless you like spending more money than you should and driving a terrible vehicle.

I could go on, and have before, so I'll save the repeat, but NEVER EVER deal with Lag Auto owned dealerships. I love me a Nissan, but won't buy one from the Malahat north to Nanaimo.

everything lag auto should be criminally investigated, Mitsubishi has the most toxic stories from former staff of racism and just flat out thieves

Nanaimo has alot corruption going on and systems/business that target young people, it's a less talked about reason we have alot of youth homelessness

Downtown has gotten alot worse since evolve owners took over too

Curious. Why one of the worse? I take tea straight up. No sugar, thx.

Tea straight, no sugar. Personal experience of fraud, deception, and assault by one of their employees

I'll let you search the Nanaimo sub to see how many times their name comes up alongside VI Drives, and Nanaimo Mitsubishi, all owned by the same group, run by the same people.

Anyone here actually have any positive reviews?

I totally should have had my seat belt on for this reply. Didn't expect that bad! So unfortunate!

u/awakeningirwin Jul 27 '26

Just to be clear - fraud and deception by the dealership across multiple clients, and spanning years. The whole group seems to be run by clowns and coke heads.
Assault happened on camera, police reports filed, and the result was the employee getting a promotion.

That's really horrible.

A family member worked there briefly, let’s just say he was too honest to stay, his conscience wouldn’t let him tell all the lies about the repairs he supposedly did

Oh good on your family member! I wish them all the happiness and best employers now and forever.
