Maybe you should report them to Nissan (and/or the Automobile
Association, etc.) and get their license revoked ... as well as finding
another service centre, which may be impossible in smaller towns.

Here in New Zealand we have the various licensed Nissan dealers, but
also independent repair centres (both nationwide chains and small
individual companies) who are certified by the Motor Trade Association
as being legitimate and responsible (as well as insured) ... too many
complaints that can be substantiated, and the repair centre gets their
certificate revoked, although they can technically keep trading, they
can't display the MTA certificate on the wall which *should* deter any
potential customer with some sense from using them.
