I've been buying cars and trucks for over 40 years and

I've been buying cars and trucks for over 40 years and have never experienced such poor service in all those years. Tried to purchase a car and was totally blown off by 4 different sales people. Called the sales manager and was told the car was sold only to find out it was still for sale. I have never been treated so poorly and lied to this bad in my 63 years. The worst buying experience ever, or should I say trying to buy a car!!!

Service

I had an appointment for an oil change, fuel filter and a leak in my front driver tire along with a rotation. I had to repeat the issue with the tire at least three times. At the end of the service my tire still has a leak and when my truck was ready they had parked it all the way over at the sales lot. I was told sorry about that and had to go and retrieve my truck. I know we all get busy but I always hope for great customer service no matter where I go. However, many customer service agent was new and was very polite.

Bought my first ever brand new car!

Bought my first ever brand new car! Sold to me by the sensational Marlo. Wasn’t expecting to walk off the lot with everything I hoped for plus more. Marlo was polite genuine, and most of all he cared! Definitely recommending friends and family.

Looked at a vehicle with a check engine light on.

Looked at a vehicle with a check engine light on. Had it scanned by the maintenance department and said it is a cam sensor. Not a priority for the maintenance per the salesman. They won’t fix until someone is serious about buying it. Why would you put it out on the lot if that was the case?

service appointment for blinker repair

This appointment was the 2nd attempt to have the blinker fixed. I had to call and ask about the status which I felt was not my responsibility. There were no answers and had to wait for the technician to call back. They had had my vehicle for 4 days. It was a simple fix and should not have taken that long and should have been communicated to me.

Best experience ever!!

I was a first time buyer and celso was very nice and helped me explore different options. Power has a very nice selection to choose from if they didn’t have the truck I went to get I probably would have got one of the ones they had there. But overall best place to go get your vehicle from and very welcoming the second you walk in.

Horrible customer service & dishonest.

Horrible customer service & dishonest. I drove across the state to look at a vehicle. This vehicle was full of rust upon inspecting it. Multiple dents and dings, was told it was in good shape. The underbody was full of rust and this information was not disclosed before I made the trip. They then had another vehicle similar but newer. In good condition but a lot more. I made a purchase on the newer vehicle. During the process things were taken out and not put back in. Such as receipts and floor mats, as well as maintenance records. The vehicle was dirty and I made the mistake of not having it cleaned before signing as there was damage on multiple panels. This dealer is dishonest and shady. Avoid or deal at your own risk.

Marlo was the best!

We came in today to check out some SUV’s, and Marlo attended us right away, he asked us questions and got us exactly what we were looking for! Super kind, funny and professional guy, We will 100% come back.
