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.

Very Easy purchasing my new vehicle.
Very Easy purchasing my new vehicle. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. They answered all my questions helped me set up my new vehicle. Would recommend to anyone!
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.

Working with Travis Small was such a pleasure!
Working with Travis Small was such a pleasure! He’s super knowledgeable and made the whole process feel nice and seamless. We literally laughed through the entire purchase, he kept things fun while still making sure I understood every step! What I appreciated most was how patient and thorough he was. This was my first ever car purchase, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through it. If you want someone who’s honest, funny, and genuinely cares about his customers, go see Travis! James, who handled the financing, was amazing too. I was a little nervous going in, as I’m still building my credit, but they both made everything smooth, stress-free, and actually enjoyable. James even took the time to answer my questions after I left the dealership, which meant a lot! Now I have my beautiful Chevy and an awesome dealership that’s earned a loyal customer!
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.
