Bought my new 2025 Chevy equinox at Serpentini Chevrolet.
Bought my new 2025 Chevy equinox at Serpentini Chevrolet. I?ve had it almost a year. It was due for a first time oil change service was good and fast.
Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver.
Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver. It has enough space to transport my large and was very reliable until about 160,000 miles. Gasket seal and O2 sensors failed causing me $800 in repairs. Not super expensive, but like the previous review says check to see if there are any open recalls. Currently at 230,000 miles and still driving. If you follow the suggested maintenance schedule you'll be fine. If not, you'll be in for some trouble.

SERVICE DEPARTMENT
OUTSTANDING SERVICE: Jake Dickhart received us in the morning after our car was towed to the dealer from an accident on I95. He was informative, kind and helpful. We had to continue our trip leaving our car and Jake helped us rent a car and drove us in his personal car to the airport car rental. UNEXPECTED and UNUSUAL help. 10 STARS. susanna
Transmission problem
I have owned Toyota and Honda vehicles for years. I love the space and comfort of my Ford Explorer. However I'm at 68k miles and just had to have my transmission rebuilt. If I didn't love the comfort and ride of this vehicle so much, I would trade it in tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed and praying this vehicle will hold out to 200k miles.

Explorers are great
I have had several Explorers all have been great vehicles. My newest is only a couple years old. I also still have a great running 26 year old with almost 200k miles. Never had a big or expensive problem with either. I can say the same for the BMWs, Mercedes and Infinity’s I have owned…Once these expensive vehicles warranty expired everything but their engine seemed to fall apart. My Fords are reliable and never break down (knock on wood) Not flashy like the imports but solid.

We were interested in a vehicle at CarMax about 275 miles
We were interested in a vehicle at CarMax about 275 miles from where we live. We paid to have the car delivered to the location near us. There was nothing specific that the CarMax dealer did other than be sure the car was moved as quickly as possible. We did not visit the location where the car was being offered and the car was not delivered to our home.

I received a welcome greeting on arrival and was taken
I received a welcome greeting on arrival and was taken care of immediately. Brian Brody, the sales specialist, warmly welcomed me and pointed me in the right direction regarding my preferences for a car. He offered other car options to consider. I ended up purchasing one of the other car options. In the end, I was grateful that he pushed me to see everything. The wrap up process was professional and friendly, dealing with the sales manager and finance manager. All in All, I love my new 2026 GMC Terrain

Saturn Vue
Best place in town to buy a vehicle. I had searched from Niagara County to Rochester. Hands down Village Motors aims to please. I purposely waited to put this review in until my Warranty was up and Winter came. Great news, not 1 problem mechanically and my Saturn Vue handles so awesome in the ice, slush and snow. Just love this vehicle. Thankyou to everyone at Village Motors for working with me and truly making such a big difference in the QUALITY of my LIFE.

I had an outstanding experience at this dealership from
I had an outstanding experience at this dealership from start to finish. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping me find the right vehicle—not just making a sale. They took the time to answer all my questions, explain my options clearly, and never once made me feel pressured. The process was smooth, transparent, and surprisingly quick. The sales staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with my decision I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for an stress-free and enjoyable car-buying experience. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future.
