Great experience

Kathe made it easy to negotiate the pricing via phone, text, and email. She then had the paperwork ready to go once I arrived, so I was basically in and out as quick as you could make a big purchase go.

Oil Change - Buick La Crosse

Prompt and Courteous. But didn't provide me with an Oil CHange Card until I asked about it. I've brought the car in routinely for Oil Changes and now only have 1 punch.

Water pump replacement

I brought my Sky Redline in for a preemptive water pump replacement, because I'm plannning a 5000 mile trip this summer and don't want to get stranded out in the middle of no-where. The water pumps in these cars go bad and leak at about the 50k mile mark and my car has 73k miles on it. I thought getting it done now would be prudent. I arranged an appointment online for a drop off Monday afternoon, and was assured everything was all set and I'd get my car back Tuesday afternoon. Got a call Tuesday afternoon, they hadn't even started on it - they called only to give me a cost estimate. They said it'd be done Thursday for sure. I called on Thursday for a status - they had to check to see if it was done. And it was. I went and pick up my car and on the drive home, the engine began to over heat. When I got home the coolant overflow puked all over the garage floor and the engine temp was 216 degrees. The temp had never previously been over 200. I called the service manager and he said 216 was normal. Well, its not, because it hasn't been and I have the shop manual that says it should be between 185 and 195. I'm going to finish what they were supposed to, and bleed the cooling system of air bubbles - which are causing the water pump impeller to cavitate and keep it from pumping coolant around in the cooling system. They also changed the thermostat - which I did not authorize. And they grossly charged me for the parts - double the retail price I can get at GMParts. I'm never going back to Seaview. A simple job and they couldn't do it. They don't have my recommendation.

no surprises/ no up sale for unneed accessories

open (not crampted), comfortable waiting area, waiting for my vehicle repair. Time spent getting from est. to final repair - good. Very professional receptionist... and nice to see another filling in promptly when the estimate came available, when the primary receptionist became detained temporarily (working other duties). I have purchased a car here before, and looking to purchase another one for my wife. Looking forward to another non-pressured purchase experience.

Excellent

The mechanic stayed late to get my car completed so I didn't have to take the following day off from work.

Best GM Service Department in the Northwest!

1998 Chevy Blazer 4X4... I brought a problem to Seaview GMC that no-one else seemed to be able to solve; Diagnostic Code: PO300 - intermittent engine misfire... and they resolved the issue in 1 day and for a lot lower cost than I was expecting to have to spend... Thanks Seaview GMC!

Great people to work with and got me a better rate

Knowledgeable about the car I was looking at. Worked hard to find me a rate that was better than what I was pre-approved for.

Great service, honest staff

Service was done timely and appreciate the straightforward explanation of what was needed to be done on truck without trying to sell me on services not required at this time.
