Initially, with the exception of the shortage of lending options offered/bad rate, we liked the experience. The vehicle was pretty clean, and a minor paint issue was sorted before I returned to do the deal. Unfortunately, the AC that was also to be fixed, wasnt. The part needed hadnt come in, and after taking time off work to drive 1 hr each way to do deal (we both work 6 days a week) we were promised a fix when it came in. So, we did deal. Took home an escalade for 17k plus, in a growing brutal heatwave.
The salesman assured us he would drive down to pick vehicle up for the fix, and return it, leaving a loaner car. 2 weeks of mostly 85-100 degree days later and a dozen 2 hour a day commutes in horrible heat later, I had to skip closing at work to drive out myself. 3 hours later, Im still in their office waiting. A loaner car was denied, so instead of getting errsnds done, or eating, here I am.
This is all AFTER having to replace slide pins in brakes last week, and BOTH front wheel bearings. The first was an emergency sunday in a rainstorm on side of road repair so doubly unpleasant. The vehicle wouldnt have made it into the shop without likely losing a wheel otherwise. read more
