I’ve been a GMC Terrain owner since 2018 and have always been happy with my vehicle. During a recent visit to the service department for my Terrain’s annual inspection, my mom, who is in the market for a new vehicle, scheduled a 10 AM appointment with Carmelle to test drive a Terrain. We arrived at the showroom at 10:03 AM, but no one was present in the showroom or outside to greet us. After wandering around, Mark eventually entered from the far side of the showroom. I mentioned our appointment with Carmelle, and he informed us she hadn’t arrived yet. Despite this, Mark quickly brought around the vehicle we were interested in, allowing my mom to test drive it without even requesting her driver’s license. While Mark was courteous, the lack of engagement from the rest of the team was disappointing. Upon our return, Mark asked if we had any other questions but didn’t follow up beyond that. Two other employees were seated in a nearby glass office but made no effort to acknowledge us. Ultimately, this lackluster experience led my mom to purchase a different vehicle from another dealership that same day. A more attentive and professional approach could have made all the difference.

Good Morning Ms. Cook. I want to sincerely apologize for the lack of proper coordination during your Mom's appointment to Test Drive one of our vehicles as well as the lack of acknowledgement from the other Staff in the Sales Department. I absolutely agree that a more professional approach should have been shown during your visit to the Sales Department. Dealerships work very hard to earn new customers and it is very disappointing that we did not earn your Mom's business. I appreciate your information and of course do hope you will continue to use our Service Department. I assure you that your comments will be shared with our Senior Managers.
They are the worst dealership when it comes to repairing your car telling you that they can't fix something and that all the car models that I have the GMC terrain have the same grinding noise when you back up the car they can't check the transmission because there's no dipstick but when I went on the internet for the GMC and told them there is a way to check you'll transmission fluid they asked me that I believe everything I see on the internet so I can't get no result so I'm going to just post everything I can on the internet I'm sorry they treat me like a peasant but I'm sorry also that I bought that GMC terrain

I am sorry that you feel you have not received the level of customer service you deserve with our Service Department. We have driven your Terrain multiple times do duplicate your concern and even had our Technician ride with you to help duplicate, neither time could we duplicate your concern. We have Never Treated you as a peasant and have always gone above and beyond to help you (including paying for repairs well after the Warranty period) Suttle Motors has been in business for over 100 Years and we have worked very hard to earn an Excellent Reputation for customer service and although we do make mistakes, this is not one. I have escalated this to our Service Manager and he has already left a message for you. Thank you for your attention and time.
Yes Sir, I completely understand that you want to get issues resolved before your warranty expires, but we have to know what the issue is. The noise that the Tech heard was normal. There isn't anything we can ask your Warranty Company to cover and believe me, we only get paid when your Warranty company give us an approval, so we would love to find an issue, but at least when we had it, there wasn't an issue for us to submit. I do truly understand your frustration, but we are at a stand-still until we can duplicate your concern. Again, we do truly value and appreciate your business and believe me, we want to help, but cannot proceed without a probable cause or to duplicate the concern.
My warranty has an expired yet., My problem was when I stated what was on the internet about a dipstick in the terrain your service manager said do you believe everything on the internet and your company is on the internet so it was I felt like he was saying that I was lying that's what I'm having problems with is not the service really I just felt some kind of way that nobody wanted to pay attention to my problem and I know people with terrains and they don't sound like that so that's neither here nor there but I'm not angry with anyone it's just that I feel slighter so life goes on You live and you love
Also the service tech road with me and he heard the noise. I was just afraid that something may happen while I'm driving and I'm sorry that if I overthought that something could happen so I apologize for my attitude and may you have a blessed day
Again I apologize for my attitude but my family suggested that I leave well enough alone because I'm stressing and it could cause my cancer to come back and they don't want that to happen so thanks for everything so for my regular service if it's all right for you all I'll bring it up there then but far as the noise I'm done no hard feelings or animosity and thank you again
My experience at Suttle Motor Company far exceeded my expectations. From Sales to the Service Department, every one I encountered were friendly and extremely helpful. A special thank you to Mark in Sales (who sold me an Escalade) and Perry in the Service Department. I could not be more pleased!

WARNING TO OUT OF WARRANTY CAR OWERS! Before you let Suttle Motor Co. Cadillac of Newport News Va do ANY repair work (if your car is out of warranty) to your vehicle. Please take your car to another certified mechanic! From service management, service writer, to the mechanics they to NOT stand by their warranty of their parts or labor. I had a valve cover gasket replaced twice times at Suttle, the repair last lasted 29000 miles. Suttle service claimed it was timing chain cover. I caught them in their lie, doing the bait and switch! They tied to cover their loss of stating the (3rd valve cover gasket) oil leak was from timing cover. They even tied to say I needed a timing chain gear replacement, of which was done under recall about 87,000 miles ago. When I called them out on this the refunded the service charge. Yes, I have the copy of service bill that charged me saying the timing covers is leaking oil. BTW, the timing cover is still dry and has never leaked. Pictures to prove both. BEWARE, they will try to rip you off. This service department does not care about you! PLEASE before you have Suttle Motor do any repair (out of warranty car)to your car, take your car to any certified car mechanic to check it out!! I WAS loyal to Suttle Motor, NOT ANYMORE! I had used them for years spent $thousands of dollars their. NOT ANYMORE,! Hummm, my me wonder. Maybe played me for a fool? Talked to service management, literally laughed in my face. Please BEWARE and be careful in dealing with Suttle Motor on out warranty repairs. There are other certified shops that have honest and trust worthy Cadillac/GMC managers, service writers and mechanics!

Thank you for the information, Mr. Carlise and the time to share your thoughts about our Service Department. As we do appreciate our customers and welcome their views, we do acknowledge that we do make mistakes from time to time. Suttle Motor Corporation has been in business for over 100 years and we have worked very hard to earn a Great Reputation as one of the Last Family Owned and Managed Dealerships in Virginia. We do appreciate your continued business and as you stated you have indeed spent a lot of money with Suttle Motors on your 2008 STS, that is why it has been a reliable vehicle for the 204,000 miles it has on it now. On the diagnosis in question, you stated to your Service Advisor that the Passenger Side Valve Cover Gasket is leaking. Most repair shops would have done just that….replace the gasket and hope for the best. But Suttle Motors wants to ensure our customers get the proper correction to their concern. This is why our Engine Technician put Dye in your Oil along with the Fresh Oil Change to help him determine the exact issue. Again, we do make mistakes, but he did find that the leaking was coming from the Timing Cover Area. Using Oil Dye helps determine the exact cause of the issue and prevents you from spending money that is not necessary. The reason that he recommended a Timing Chain was due to the Age and Mileage of the Car…..if he was going to replace the Timing Cover Gasket, it would make since to replace the Chain at the same time….to save money for you in the long run. Since you had been such a good customer and did not agree with our Factory Trained Technician, would have been the reason we refunded your Service Charge. Again, we do make mistakes, and although we do take responsibility for ours, we still stand behind the diagnosis.
Bought several used Cadis over the years. Always a good experience with no subterfuge. Mature and knowledgeable sales folks. Service and sales people are on the same page.

Lets talk about RONDA MCLEAN. I have had my car serviced in the past at Suttle for 2 years straight and NEVER experienced what I did today 1/4/2021. Im visiting the area for the holidays and my transmission decides to give me a run for my money, I had the vehicle towed there 12/31/20 in hopes of them getting it in on Monday 1/4 since her team was off Friday....cool. Here we are Monday and the appts at 7:00am...mind you again...Im visiting...so any info in a timely fashion is critical so I may return home for my children to return to school. Well I have phone record of me calling her and leaving her a couple of messages...no response...call the service dept to be directed...no response but “ it hasnt been diagnosed” so I send my sister who lives up the street to go check because again...I NEED TO GET HOME TO FLORIDA and Im vehicle-less. Im on the other end of the phone when I hear how NASTY AND RUDE AND PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE this woman is to my sister when she is merely trying to get a status of my vehicle so that I know what next steps to take...its a but stressful when your dealing with a deployed husband and have to make serious financial decisions in his absence. My sister proceeds to speak with the manager which in our opinion was very understanding who ultimately got RONDA to call me at freakin 5pm...(did i mention my car got dropped off NYE and my appt was 7am today?) just to say I needed a new transmission. Soooo you couldn't just tell me that from the beginning??? I had to wait a full day to say a new trans was needed? Needless to say I had my car removed from the dealership because its service like that, that makes me NEVER want to come back and be mistreated and mishandled like that again. Im very disappointed with her attitude and customer service and I really hope her manager sets her straight because you never know who you are dealing with. I wasnt not once nasty to this woman and I was honestly excited to have my car taken care of there since Ive had prior work and services done there in the past and she was excellent. Very sad to see the way thinvs turned out and for what? She needs to fix her attitude and be very careful on how she communicates with her customers because the next one may not be so nice as to simply go see a manager. Very very disappointed in Suttle.

This was one of the best car buying experiences I’ve ever had. If you decide to buy here ask for John Jones (JJ). From the first phone call to the signing he was Johnny on the spot Mr. Hustle. He is outstanding!

I purchased a used Buick Regal in 2012 from Suttle Motors in Newport News and have been taking the car back to Suttle service department ever since for all of the maintenance. Last week I took the car in for an oil change and for the team to look into my check engine light that had just recently come on. Ronda, my service manager, who is always professional and up front with my husband and myself about the goings on with my car, assured me it should be an easy fix and the car would be ready for pick up the next day. I picked up my car the next evening and drove it home with no issues. The drive home was about 6 minutes. The next morning, as I was driving my daughter to school, the car cut off in the middle of the street after driving for 10 minutes! This had NEVER happened before, not in all the 7 years I have had the car. After the car cut off, I was able to get it to start after 2-3 minutes, but it was completely undriveable. I had to have the car towed back to Suttle service department that day, and with no car, I was unable to go to work where I am a nurse. After the team had a chance to look at my car, I was told that the car needed a new engine. What the..? The car was perfectly operable before it went in for service just two days before. I had been driving the car everyday to and from work. EVERYDAY for 7 years! How can I need a new engine? Ronda, who is always great, said she would see what could be done. I waited patiently for a return call. When I called Suttle 6 days later, I was informed the car still needed a new engine and the cost would be $6000-$7000, and I would receive no assistance from GM at all. The best they could do would be to put me in touch with a sales person to see if I could get a trade on the car. What!? So, lets re-cap, I took my car in for an oil change and some MINOR work and now I need a new car? I am livid. My car was not broken or even driving weird when I took it in. My husband and I work hard. We have one son in college and a teenage daughter at home. I need my car and I was not banking on having to make any car payments because I paid the car off so I could afford tuition for my son to go to college. I am disappointed in the solutions I was offered from Suttle. I am angry and I feel totally taken advantage of. I have been a loyal paying customer for 7 years. I did get a phone call from the Suttle sales rep wanting to "help me out with my car situation due to the high cost of a new engine" but I honestly don't want to purchase another vehicle from Suttle as I HAVE NO FAITH in Suttle Motors anymore. Buyers beware!
