Dealership added up to $5,000 markup for vehicles that are eligible for the state and federal stimulus. This practice should be prevented or consumers should come together and not support businesses that operate in this fashion.

Thumbs Up!
A big shout out to Teresa for handling my minor service details and issues. Brought my 2020 Buick Encore AWD in for service(oil change, rotate tires, etc.) It was not a waiter, so I left it there. About 3 or 4 pm, Teresa called me to say the car would not be ready because of a big rush that day. I told her it was o.k. to leave overnight as I have other vehicles. She was very appreciative of my understanding and as promised the next morning the car was ready first thing. I would rather have someone take their time and do it right than have my vehicle rushed because of a business crunch. I've been dealing with the Folsom Chevrolet for almost 30 years now and have bought several cars from them. People come and go, but I have always been satisfied overall with my experiences there.

Poor service
I have bought several new vehicles from many dealerships and the service here was the worst experience, with Jonathan anyway. I took a work van in to have 4 minor things done, the main issue is the sliding side door on the van doesn't seal. Should have been about 48hr turn around. Apparently the door adjustment is beyond their capabilities so I agreed to have it sent to their body shop on 9/28 with the understanding I would have it back by 10/4 for work even if the van needed to be rescheduled at the end of Oct to finish the door adjustment. 10/4 come around-I call Jonathan to schedule a pick up and dude tells me "Well, if you take it Chevy MAY NOT honor the warranty on the defective parts." "Well Jonathan I need the van anyway." Jonathan didn't like that, he didn't want to inconvenience himself or the body shop so he called my boss to have me overruled. What does MAY NOT mean anyway-you obviously don't know and you obviously didn't call Chevy to find out. Great customer service Jonathan! Don't try to accommodate the customer in any fashion...it is a work vehicle and it's needed. 10/25 the van is still there!!! 1 month!

Brian, turns out you rep lied about a warranty issue. I'll articulate the details in a letter to Chevy, DMV and BBB. If you want to reach out to me feel free, it shouldn't take too long to establish which customer I am.

I purchased a 2013 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 4LT for approximately 50k and warranty for another 6k from this dealer and after 3 weeks (driven 4 times) the electrical system goes out and the front lights does turn off. Now I have the car battery disconnected because that is the only way front lights turn off. I contact the dealer to get this fixed at another dealer and was told I had to drive it all the way to Folsom which is 2 hours away from my residence. Otherwise, I was told to pay the the deductible ($200) using the warranty to get it fixed. Finance manager told me it wasn't their fault I lived 2 hours away. Can you believe that?? They sold me the car and do not have the courtesy assist their customer to fix the defect of the car they sold me closer than their Folsom shop (2 hours away). I would have known this was their type of service I would not have purchased from this dealer nor would I have bought a Chevrolet. Lesson learned. Do not buy from this dealer if you expect good customer service. You won't get it!!

Toxic Environment from Management Down - AVOID
BEWARE: This dealership is toxic and will lay blame on you for their mistakes. All of the below happened on a 2019 2500 HD Duramax with 14,500 miles on it. 1. Dropped vehicle off on 2/1 for recall and other minor issues, one being a squeak from a belt. Was told there is a dealer warning in place for this issue and they wanted to inspect. 2.On 2/3 received a call that as suspected harmonic balancer had slid back and cause damage to my timing cover and oil pan. They needed to order parts and would call me back with an update. 3. On 2/10 (7 days without contact from Folsom Chevy) I send an email asking for an update (time to get things in writing) 4. Service Rep replied and this is where it starts going down hill and the lies begin. Magically on that same morning all my parts arrived, they are going to begin working on it right away. They must have not realized that I can track movement on my phone. 5. 2/11 - They begin work on my truck and no not provide any form of tear down estimate as required by B.A.R. I receive call that my truck should be done on Monday or Tuesday 6. 2/16 - I pick up my vehicle to find that they literally had the thing in a million pieces, yet never notified me (Transmission out, front of truck off, drive line out, CV axles removed) I understand they did what they had to, but much much more than what was claimed by service rep. 7. 2/16- I inspect vehicle upon arriving home to find bolts were left loose on vehicle and new magic zip ties had appeared. - Sent email right away. 8. 2/17- Service manager called, we talked for a long time he gave me the run down of his staff and why the delays and said "if you want to bring the truck back we can tighten those two bolts, but other than that we did the best we could. I told him I can tighten two bolts more concerned about what else was missed.- offered nothing past we did the best we could. Service manager highly insinuated that I as the consumer brought the vehicle home and loosened the bolts myself, this was stated multiple times in the conversation. 9. 2/17- Informed from another dealership to contact GM direct. 10. 2/18 Dealership responds to review post on FB claiming I denied them the opportunity to fix the issue based on the conversation with the service manager and his offer to tighten the bolts that they didn't tighten the first time. 11. 2/18 - Leave message for GM (he has never reached out) called Service Manager again to discuss that I denied his half wit offer to tighten the two bolts his staff forgot, but once again clarified that I wanted a full re-inspection of the work. Once again mentioned insinuation that I loosened the bolts myself, I offered up my solid proof that I did not, sent pictures where you could see the impact marks around each bolt that was tightened, but none around the ones that were loose. They obviously avoided any mention of this and never apologized for this nonsense. 12. Picked up truck on 2/22 - They performed inspection and then went out of their way for some reason to call out I have aftermarket tires, rims, leveling kit, and electronic door steps. I pray to little baby duramax jesus I never have to set foot at this dealership again.
