I would give more than five stars if I could. From the moment I walked into Lia Nissan I felt welcomed, respected, and was given all of the information and assistance I needed to make a purchase. Every single individual who I spoke with was very professional and engaging from Hope at the reception desk, Patrick and Robert in sales, and Michael in the finance office every individual at Lia went out of their way to ensure an excellent buying experience for me. Patrick was able to answer all of my questions over the phone and email which was very convenient for me because I live over an hour away from the dealership. Robert was who I worked with when I came to pick up the vehicle and he was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure all of my questions were answered and the trade in of my old Rogue and purchase of my new one went smoothly. Michael in finance went through all of the paperwork with me and was very friendly and understanding of my unique financial situation. After having a very negative experience at a Nissan dealership closer to my home, I cannot express how much of an improvement the service provided by Lia Nissan's team was. I will be recommending that anyone in my town makes the drive out to purchase from them instead of our local Nissan dealership, they are well worth the trip. I was told by the dealership by me that purchasing a similar 2024 Rogue I was looking at with them would be an impossibility for me and felt disrespected, dismissed, and dehumanized throughout the process with them and Lia Nissan made it happen without hesitation and was more than willing to work with me in spite of the additional steps I needed to take to purchase a vehicle. I never once was made to feel less than or like a problem for having special financial circumstances and I am extremely thankful for that after the experience I had at the previous dealership. About a week after walking in to fill out a credit application I was able to drive off the lot yesterday with my 2024 Rogue and I couldn't be happier about my buying experience. Thank you Patrick, Robert, Michael and everyone at Lia Nissan for such a great experience, I am truly grateful.

I had the honor of working with Robert Challocomb he was pleasant and knowledgeable every step of the way! He went over details in my new vehicle and it was a breeze stepping into it! I would highly recommend Lia

This is the fourth consecutive Nissan (2017 Murano, 2020 Murano, 2023 Rogue, and now 2026 Rogue -- all "Platinum" trim level) that I've leased with the terrific folks at Lia Nissan of Colonie. All four experiences have been efficient and expedient, and I have always enjoyed the highest levels of customer service and satisfaction. It all starts with the expertise and knowledge of the general manager Dave Bertuch who always treats me with the utmost respect while putting together "the best possible deal." Then this particular leasing & delivery day (9/26/2025) continued with the sales associate Robert Challacombe and financial consultant Michael Dwarika. Robert spent a good amount of time with me reviewing the leasing process and then proceeded to show me everything I needed to know about the car itself, and Michael explained all the financial details and involved paperwork. All three gentlemen were excellent at their jobs, and I felt like they went "above and beyond" with how they treated me in creating a very smooth process. The entire experience was flawless, simple, and an absolute pleasure ! And I also need to mention service manager Tim Russo and his skilled staff, who have always taken very good care of me. All in all, I am happy to honestly and enthusiastically recommend Lia Nissan of Colonie !
