Hm.
My wife's 1991 Nissan Sentra is a joy.  We didn't buy it at RPM, but we
have it serviced there.  I must admit, that while I think RPM is slow, and
overly expensive, I have not felt that they were dishonest or that the
mechanics did shoddy work.  I trust them with my car, and until they
really screw up, I'll continue to do so.  The one time they DID screw up,
the service manager was very kind and understanding, and gave me a free
oil change.  (As I gather he gave the original poster's friend one too..) 
What happened to me was at some major service point, we had everything
checked and whatever needed to be replaced replaced, then a week later
while driving the front brakes went out almost totally.  I went back and
said, "What the hell?  We were here a week ago.  Why didn't you fix this
then?"  So they fixed it.  And right quick, too.  I dunno... I just wanted
to counter with a fairly more upbeat story.  Plus, they ARE the only
Nissan dealer in Durham.
