\u201cMy husband and I have built our company from the ground up,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe pour our entire lives into our business. We\u2019re a small little place, an upholstery shop and we made the mistake of buying a vehicle from Nissan of Cape Coral,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She says that since the day she and her husband took the vehicle home, it\u2019s had nothing but problems and they documented all of them. And \u201clong story short,\u201d she said, \u201cNissan was not capable of taking care of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
So she and her husband left a one-star review for Nissan of Cape Coral, she said, along with a description of their experience that Maillet described as “factual.” She continued, \u201cI do not recommend this business.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Business Inundated With Negative Reviews<\/p>\n
The couple alleges that what happened next is a kind of Mean Girls harassment campaign<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter my one review, Blake Taylor, the general manager of Nissan of Cape Coral, comes attacking my business,\u201d Maillet said.<\/p>\n
She further accused Taylor of sending his friends to leave negative reviews for their business. She held her phone up to the camera. You can see the name Blake Taylor visible on screen above a review. A part of the review purportedly from Taylor reads: \u201cboth husband and wife will lie to you to play victim.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After doing some research, Maillet said she found an image of the man she believes to be the manager of the dealership who is posting negative reviews of her upholstery business\u00a0<\/p>\n
Currently, Nissan of Cape Coral has over 1,900 positive reviews on their site. RT Upholstery has, per Maillet, 18.<\/p>\n
\u201cLemme Go Get to Work\u201d<\/p>\n
People who commented on Maillet\u2019s post were united in their response. Several people alleged other negative experiences involving Nissan of Cape Coral. Many vowed to right what they see as a wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cDont\u2019 worry dear,\u201d wrote Nerd Burglar, \u201cI have over 30,000 reviews on Google. And so when I post, it carries weight, I\u2019m a platinum Google review member, and I left a little story for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
While \u201cplatinum Google review member\u201d doesn\u2019t exist, it is possible the user may be talking about being a Google product expert, which does have a platinum level.<\/p>\n
Another user chimed in, \u201cI forgot, I got like 200,000 views\u2026lemme go get to work,\u201d said Chefpaige.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ky.morgann asked, \u201cSo we all going to leave bad reviews on Nissan or????\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maillet appreciated the support but urged people not to leave the dealership negative reviews.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease do not leave bad reviews on their Google listing on my behalf. What they did to us is wrong, let\u2019s not be like them,\u201d she wrote in the TikTok\u2019s caption.<\/p>\n
Nissan Of Cape Coral Responds<\/p>\n
The public pressure seemed to work. In a Facebook post<\/a> dated July 19, the dealership wrote that an employee\u2019s response was \u201cinappropriate\u201d did \u201cnot reflect the values or professional standards\u201d they expect from their team. Without naming the Maillets, they wrote that they reached out to the customer to apologize \u201cand are taking appropriate corrective action.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAs a family-owned business, we believe every customer deserves to be treated with honesty, kindness, and respect. We also value the small businesses that contribute so much to the strength and character of the communities we serve,\u201d the company continued.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are addressing this matter seriously and remain committed to accountability, learning from this experience, and upholding the standards our customers, employees, and communities expect from us.\u201d<\/p>\n Photo by: Motor1.com<\/p>\n![\"screenshot-2026-07-21-171334\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/screenshot-2026-07-21-171334.png\")
