Can't recommend more highly.

Can't recommend more highly. In town from Chicago and had what sounded like a chirping belt. Needed to get car fixed asap due to concern about 14 hour drive home. Montana, DP (service advisors) and Aaron (shop foreman) bent over backwards to source a new belt and get me on my way. Wish I could transplant these guys in Chicago! Thank you Step One CDJRF!

The sale went quickly and smoothly after test drive.

The sale went quickly and smoothly after test drive. Only three days later a loud knocking. Little to no response until pressed from sales informing me too bad you’re on your own. Really bummed I just bought this and now have to deal with repairs. Doesn’t seem like right thing to do.

Hello Ms. Merrell, At time of sale, a vehicle that is Sold As Is means there is no warranty active. An extended warranty is offered and will become active 30 days from the date of the sale. We do an inspection on all vehicles before offered for sale. Internal engine issues are difficult to determine if the issue is not active at the time of inspection.

Consumer response

Understand As is. Unfortunate situation for me and standby my rating that you sold me a car that has a loud knocking noise after 3 days of purchase and now I’m screwed. The public should be aware. My review is accurate. I find you all crooks despite your inspection.

It is sad that a "Luxury" brand has a sales staff that

It is sad that a "Luxury" brand has a sales staff that must have come from the Kia store down the street. I was disappointed to find typical bait-and-switch pricing, the dealership showed one price online, I confirmed the pricing with a manager on the phone before driving 45 minutes to the store. Once I got to the store, the red flags started. No one had informed me that the "New" car had been cannibalized for parts, the vehicle wasn't charged, and I was directed to a different vehicle for a test drive. In the swapped vehicle, the passenger side air conditioner was blowing hot air even after driving for 15 minutes. The salesperson suggested that it was because the electric vehicle had been jumped off. After driving the swapped vehicle, I requested pricing on the cannibalized vehicle because I knew that the vehicle I had discussed previously qualified for a specific lease program. The dealership presented an initial presentation with a price more than $5,000 more than previously quoted. The sales and finance managers knew less than the customer about the current programs and options for leasing. To top it all off, even though I had a gift card code for test driving a car from Cadillac the dealership did not process the request. One Step backwards for Step One.

The service department is horrible.

The service department is horrible. They have not called me back in over a month. I’m still waiting on them to email my insurance company the codes to get the estimate approved. I have been to the service department four times and they still haven’t sent it. They don’t call you back and you only get sent to voicemail when you call.

I am a senior citizen and was treated with respect and did not feel pressured at all. Mr. Marvel emailed me quickly and we set up an appointment. He greeted me when I came in and asked me some questions and got me a in a car very quickly. The process was comfortable and I am very happy with the car.

Had my Cadillac 2020 XT6 service 4/3/24 for Rear AC

Had my Cadillac 2020 XT6 service 4/3/24 for Rear AC blower motor, hands free lift gate sensor and oil change. There was an issue with warranty date that could of gone either way but, Michelle and Patrick resolved the issue. My car was ready in one day. Recommend Cadillac/GMC of Fort Walton Beach for anyone needing service. Top notch service waiting for your car/SUV.
