Evans Halshaw no longer Nissan New car Dealer

[MontyB52]

Took my Qashqai epower to my Evans Halshaw dealer for its first service, & noticed all the Nissan branding had gone, & the cars in the showroom were used vw & Audi.
I overheard one of the salesmen say on the phone they were no longer a dealer for new Nissan & it hadn’t been decided what they will be yet by Head office, possibly just a used car dealer.
I asked the lady on the service desk & she said they are & will be still an authorised Nissan parts & service but not new cars!

When I got back I checked on EH website & Nissan no longer comes up in their New Car drop-down list of manufacturers…so looks like either EH have dropped Nissan or Nissan have dropped them.

Hope my dealer remains a Nissan service centre as I’ve for 1 more free service included on my deal (at that branch)!!
Looks like I’ll need to find another dealer now & build up a new relationship.

Hi MontyB52
What part of UK are you in as my usual Nissan dealer in Doncaster, South Yorkshire which is run by Evans Halshaw also recently stopped being a new car dealer too and is now a "Authorised Nissan Service Centre" and only sells used Nissan cars and have heard they may be adding another franchise to their name.

Ironically Sunderland Nissan home of Nissan GB car factory is also Evans Halshaw run but unsure what there status is.

Wonder if Evans Halshaw and Nissan have changed their relationship for any particular reason? I asked my Dealership if Nissan had fallen out with them he said no the company's contract was up for renewal?

In Doncaster Marshall have the new contract for Nissan and have a brand new dealership for new cars so technically at this time I have two options for Nissan Authorised Service Centres for servicing, repairs etc.

Just to add think it's all Evans Halshaw as looked back at the email they sent me some weeks back and it's worded as plural and doesn't specify my branch only so looks like it's nationwide.

Full details of the changes can be read here:

Interestingly no reasons given for the changes only the changes explained.

As long as it remains "authorised" you'll be fine. If you have issues beyond the 3 year warranty you'll need a 100% Nissan/Authorised service book to stand even the remotest chance of Nissan acting honourably.

It’s the EH Nissan dealer in Mansfield.
Thankfully there are 3 other Nissan dealers within 20 miles, 2 Bristol Street Motors dealers & a Sandicliffe dealer.
I recall a previous dealer telling me he could see all his franchises new & used stock, but also new stock at other franchises through Nissans own dealers site, (so was able to get hold of a new car from another dealer, if the other dealer would accept it, usually a trade was done). So Nissan will know how many cars each franchise is selling & if they are slashing profit margins to sell.

Colin Appleyard in Keighley also no longer a new Nissan car dealer - just servicing now plus Suzuki.

Maybe all the dealers are going back in time to how it used to be when you could only get nissan from nissan, ford from ford etc as new cars and electric are more complex to fix and service that car sellers like evans halshaw, bristol street etc end up sending them to nissan etc to get fix as they will have correct gear

Evans Halshaw in Sunderland no longer sells new Nissan cars. Only about half a mile away fron the Nissan factory too.
