Ripped off on repairs and stolen property from truck
I brought my truck into friendly for a misfire in the 4th cylinder. I understood that this would be a spendy repair but I trusted them. They charged me $3,000 and my truck had the same issue in 1 day. When I called and brought it back we argued for weeks over the fact they didn’t fix anything. They finally admit fault and make the necessary repairs and charge me for parts only. Then when I go to pick up my truck my door is unlocked no signs of breaking in and my aftermarket pioneer deck is completely gone. I ask my service advisor NICK, who immediately blamed me the customer who trusted my truck in their possession. It was professionally removed with nothing broken and nothing else stolen, which included a fuzz buster and a bunch of Oakley’s other countless high dollar items. Bottom line friendly Fridley isn’t friendly at all don’t bring service to these guys they’re money hungry not customer service driven.

Needed a new vehicle after my car was totalled by hail damag
After my car was damaged by hail a couple weeks ago, I was in need of a new vehicle. I had purchased my 2011 Malibu at Friendly Chevrolet a few years ago so I went there again to look at a used Equinox. After looking over a number of their 2016 & 2017 Equinox's I narrowed my decision down to 2. Their salesperson Charlie Koppy came over & struck up a conversation. His first question was if I needed more time to look things over or if I had any questions. He was very professional & did not put any pressure on me. We took the 2016 for a test drive & Charlie answered all my questions from pricing to warranty to technical questions.

Unsatisfactory
I am completely disappointed in your diagnosis with my car. If I’m am paying for a diagnostic and I come back home to my mechanic after you guys had done work, there is no way I should have not known that the car I just bought has no air filter, tire pressure was at 60 pounds, oil is dirty and I barely have any. I was never giving any update on the services I need to repair or how long the life of the main services on the vehicle would last. If I was still being serviced at Lupient Kia and I spent a thousand dollars my first visit, I would know my tire life, all of my fluids would have been drained and refilled, I would know my tire life, battery life, and I would definitely know that there was no air filter in my car. I guess because my car is over 100,000 miles it’s not treated with the proper care at you guys’ facility.

Awesome customer service and easy to deal with
I had never dealt with an out of state car dealer before no one in my area could find me the truck I wanted, so I had seen Friendly had one in Minnesota called them up and they already had it sold, but Chris had found me one in North Dakota and had it there in a week . He went way out of his way to find this one it being one of the last 2019 's around. Everyone I had dealt with was very friendly from sales to financing , and they gave me a decent price for my trade in. Next time I'm in the market for a new vehicle I will definitely call Chris Cummings first. Thanks, Joe Taylor

Unacceptable
Went to get my tire checked out since the tire pressure was getting lower and lower. They told me that i needed a new tire and that they would put my spare on, and that i could go somewhere else since they didnt have it in stock. Went to another tire place, waited for 2 hours to be seen, just to find out that Chevrolet did not put the old tire with the rim into my car. So i had to drive back to the dealership to get my rim. Not only did they not apologize, they said it was a miscommunication. Unacceptable and rude, and a waste of my time.

THE WORSE EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD BY FAR
I had my tohoe towed to this place to get a key replacement. They called and told me my truck was too far from the building and they need to tow it inside from INSIDE THEIR OWN PARKING LOT and charged me 140$. Called back to speak with the service manager and told him what was going on and ask him can you waive the fee. He told me I'm about to be a little sarcastic I said oh no that means you're going to be very sarcastic he said would you like to pay double because I don't have employees here who work for free and we're giving you the best deal that we can. I asked him isn't the name of this dealership Friendly Chevrolet he said yes I said was that friendly what you just said to me he said no the friendly part was me warning you before I said it I asked him to not do the work on my vehicle and I'll pick it up he told me he's in charge and they did it anyway. That's the just of it, extremely rude and unprofessional. I would not recommend my enemy to this place. At lease not the service department!!!!!

If I could give negative stars, I would.
I test drove and purchased a 2003 Subaru Forester on Friday, 2/8/19. Everything seemed ok. No dashboard warning lights or anything lit up so I figured I was getting a decent to and from work and backup family vehicle. Boy, was I mistaken! I took the vehicle home on 2/9/19, and did not drive until Monday 2/11/19. On my way to work, the check engine, battery, and brake light came on. On my way to work on 2/12/19 the car was not running properly. After speaking with the used car manager, he basically told me to bring it in for a free inspection so that they could show me exactly what IWOULD NEED TO FIX. I attempted to do this, and the car died on the middle of University avenue and about 85th. I'm extremely upset that I'm now out the $2700 the vehicle cost me, plus $250 to have it towed to my TRUSTED garage, plus what will end up being $3500 for a motor rebuild due to faulty timing belt, head gasket leaks, extremely worn brakes. I'm extremely upset because they KNEW that I needed this car for family reasons. I believe that cars like the one I purchased thinking it was at the very least driveable, should last more than THREE DAYS. I have no recourse but to pay the loan. They have offered me nothing in return for the piece of crap experience that I've had but to bring the vehicle in to tell me what is wrong with it. Why would I bring it back to the place that sold me a vehicle that didn't even last me three days or two trips to and from my job? It is absolutely rediculous to not be able to expect a quality vehicle from a 'reputable, friendly' chevrolet dealership. Negative three stars
