Excellent experience shopping at Avis Ford. Many thanks to Roger for being a knowledgeable and friendly salesperson. He helped us choose a Bronco Sport for our daughter that will stand the test of time. The environment is warm and friendly, we would highly recommend doing business with Avis Ford!

The warnings I began to receive after literally taking my car in for a routine oil change.

I'll start by saying that my Salesman, JZ, was awesome. 5 stars for him. I have been having issues with my car since October, 2024 after taking it in for a routine oil change. On October 21st; 3 days after the oil change, my car began to overheat and I received warnings that the engine coolant was over temperature and the engine had overheated. I was unable to drive the car and had to get it towed the next day. I was told by my service provider, Allan, that there was an issue with the filter and that it needed to be replaced. There were no loaners available at Avis Ford, so they arranged for me to get a rental car from a nearby rental place. On Monday October 28th, the service was supposedly complete and I was able to pick up my car on October 30th. On November 1st, my car shut down again. I received notifications via the dashboard and app stating the exact same issue: Engine Coolant Over Temperature. I waited a few hours for Allan to confirm whether or not there would be a rental for me to pick up when I dropped off the car, which there was not. I had to wait until Monday, November 4th to have the car towed and to be able to pick up a rental from the dealership. On the 4th, I was notified that the engine needed to be replaced on my car because the "antifreeze and oil are mixing inside the engine and leaking out the side of the engine block". This seems very odd as I had never experienced any type of issue with the car ever before October. The car is only 3 years old, needing the engine to be replaced leads me to believe that whoever serviced my car during the initial oil change did something incorrectly which caused a series of destruction to the car. It took over a month for the engine to be replaced. I was notified on December 13th in the afternoon that it was ready for pickup. Being that I was at work and the dealership is closed on the weekends, I was not able to pick it up until December 17th. I literally had the car back for 4 days before it once again began to break down. As I was driving on the highway on December 21st (Saturday), I began to hear a loud scraping noise. I pulled over and underneath my car, the shield or a very large part of the car was literally falling out. I have photos of everything. I had to pull over in a location I was very unfamiliar with to once again, request a tow as this issue is extremely dangerous and the car was unable to be driven. I called the dealership to speak with Allan first thing on Monday morning to let him know the car was at the dealership and I texted him photos of the damage. Allan was EXTREMELY rude and condescending, and completely dismissive. He basically told me that I was overreacting for having the car towed, and that it was fine to be driven although the shield was literally scraping on the cement and falling out. He told me that "people drive their cars like that all the time". We are in Michigan, and have been experiencing inclement weather consisting of snow and black ice on the roads. I told him that I did not feel comfortable driving the car in these winter weather conditions with it falling apart, and he told me that was "my choice" and gave me extreme push back on registering it to be serviced. I asked to speak with a manager and that's when he finally said he would look into it. He sent me a text message saying that he spoke to Grace, not sure who that is, and that they would either have my car fixed by EOD or provide me with a rental car until it could be fixed. In the meantime, my dad went to the dealership to drop off the key as I did not feel comfortable leaving it in the car while it was stranded and waiting to be towed. The wait time was over 3 hours for the tow and I was unfamiliar with the location, so I did not leave the key out of caution. They "fixed" the issue the same day and I have been back in the car since that day, December 23rd. The car is jumpy and I would not be surprised if another issue arises before I turn it in. I do not understand how every time I picked up my car from being serviced at Avis Ford, I received it back in a worse condition than it was in before and with a new issue that is even greater than what it was originally in service for. The car was towed three times since October. The way I was spoken to by Allan was unacceptable, he acted as if I was a nuisance to him and as if I was inconveniencing him when I am the one who has been inconvenienced and placed in dangerous situations multiple times due to the neglect of the technicians at Avis Ford who carelessly worked on my car. The service team and technicians were neglectful which caused me several major issues in the long run. I am extremely disappointed in the service I've received at Avis Ford and quite honestly believe the service team and technicians need to be investigated.

This place got me set up with a sweet ride! Jeremy Z is a beast of a salesman. Honest, Knowledgeable, and very helpful. They will definitely be getting mine and my famines business in the future! Thanks guys!

He was a consummate professional -- knowledgeable, courteous, and conscientious. We couldn't have been happier - and relieved - with his excellent service. And we love our new Forester. We felt we received a fair deal at Glassman. What more could we ask for?

I found a used vehicle online, called ahead, and spoke with Amin. He was kind and knowledgeable on the phone, so I scheduled an appointment and drove 45 minutes after leaving work early--arriving right at 4:58 PM for my 5:00 PM confirmed appointment. Keep in mind, I just had surgery a week ago, am currently recovering on a scooter, and cannot walk, so traveling through rush-hour traffic was already a huge hurdle. The moment I arrived, everything fell apart. I was told Amin doesn't even work in used cars and everything he told me on the phone was incorrect, including the financing details. Because of this misinformation, the car I came for was completely off the table. To salvage the trip, I had to pivot and find a completely different vehicle. Everyone on the staff seemed like they were on a different page, and the whole process was chaotic and stressful. By around 5:55 PM (just five minutes before closing), my friend was finishing up a quick insurance policy on her phone, which takes only 15 to 20 minutes. That is when Finance Manager Matthew Duke came over and announced that because it was almost closing time, we would just have to come back tomorrow. When I explained that I drove 45 minutes in traffic on a medical scooter, couldn't just come back tomorrow, and was leaving with the car today as a paying customer dealing with their dealership's initial misinformation, his attitude turned hostile. Matthew rudely compared this transaction to going to Kroger to buy groceries right before closing. When I stated I was leaving with the vehicle today, he sarcastically asked, "Well, then who is going to do your paperwork?" After I responded that I was done talking to him, he aggressively threw the paperwork he was holding down onto a desk as if throwing me away, turned around, and stormed off like a toddler throwing a tantrum, loudly declaring twice: "I'm not doing your paperwork!" He then walked right out the door at 6:00 PM to go home, leaving us high, dry, and shaking from anxiety and stress. The only saving grace of this entire nightmare was our sales associate, Jeff Hemming, who--along with two other associates--stayed over to help us. Jeff was an absolute godsend. He was kind, understanding, and deeply apologetic for the absolute mess we were put through. He and the team stayed past closing--until 7:12 PM--to help us finish the paperwork and get us home. Jeff is a true professional, loyal, and passionate, and he is the only reason I didn't walk out immediately. (Though it's worth noting I also mentioned looking into a much more expensive, premium vehicle for myself, but they've completely lost my future business). Do not go here. If you somehow find yourself trapped dealing with this disorganized facility, only ask for Jeff Hemming. Avoid Matthew Duke at all costs--his immature, disrespectful behavior and inability to handle working with the public have no place in customer service.

I'm an out-of-state buyer so everything at first was done via phone and email. My salesman Julian Gueringer was extremely helpful and always professional throughout the process. Dale the finance manager went out of his way to get me financing and at a reasonable interest rate. He even gave me a "stupid good deal" on the titanium plus protection plan for my tires, wheels, windshield and key fobs. Emmanuel was also very helpful. When I visited the dealership to pick up my Hellcat, the vehicle was as described -- showroom condition and drove like new. I wasn't surprised, considering it only had 650 original miles. The 3-hour ride back home was fantastic. My friend, who came with me to the dealership, and I both agreed she was a sweet ride and that the car was awesome. I highly recommend Southfield Chrysler Certified Pre-Owned. I was very happy with the purchase price, trade in amount and with all other aspects of the deal. I would definitely do business with Southfield again. I also want to mention that I left a special-made cup for my 2019 Charger Scat Pack in the back of the car I traded in and the next morning Julian called me to say he had retrieved it and was happy to ship it out to me. Now that is 5-STAR SERVICE. Thanks and best wishes to Julian and to everyone at Southfield Chrysler Certified Pre-Owned on 12 mile.

I was told they could not get my vehicle in for service until October 30. I even explained that I DO NOT need a loaner vehicle. I am willing to leave my truck there. All I asked was for someone to please get it looked at as soon as possible because I'm concerned about whether it is safe to drive. I spoke with the manager, Lenny, hoping he would understand the situation or at least try to find a solution. Instead, I found him rude, dismissive and completely uninterested in helping. I specifically explained that I have children and that my vehicle is acting strangely with the engine light on, and I did not feel that he showed any concern whatsoever. I wasn't demanding a loaner or expecting special treatment. I simply wanted my vehicle diagnosed so I could know whether it was safe to drive my children in it. I would have gladly left it at the dealership if they could work it into their schedule. What upset me most wasn't simply the wait--it was the complete lack of concern or effort to help after I explained the situation. When someone tells a service department that their vehicle is acting abnormally and they're worried about their children's safety, I expect at minimum some compassion and an attempt to help. This was an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience

I've never had such a hard time getting a car in the past. In the end, we got it done and my husband got the car he wanted. Personally, I did NOT like at all how my husband was spoken to on the phone. It was very very disrespectful but we wanted the car so we just took the rude communication. We were scrambling to make this work but being rude doesn't help ever. Sometimes when my husband asked a question and the immediate response was one thing (such as an abrupt "no way."). When he asked a clarifying question and they double checked, they would realize they were wrong and then give the correct info. When we were in person, everyone was fairly friendly. The boss did occasionally speak to us on the phone and he was very respectful and good. The main dealership was clean and the signing of documents was smooth. The person who helped with the paperwork was nice (which was appreciated because I was very upset about the events leading up to this). I feel like communication should have been much better. We did end up getting the car and my husband really likes it. We learned from this experience and hope they did too.

I have asked where I could leave my key, a few times, and was told to just "wait". I would have felt better if I'd been acknowledged when I walked into the area. Very disappointing after spending a lot of money on a new car at this establishment. Also, my car (purchased new 5/2025)"skips" a lot and they cannot diagnose the issue. It's been in 3 times for this. The car literally acts like the auto shut off is on while I'm driving sometimes. Very frustrating! I do not recommend this place for servicing your Chevrolet. If you can, take your car, somewhere else, where you'll feel like your business matters.

I just needed to find a Buick dealer I could trust. Only 1 out of the 3 others I have tried for oil changes or new tires gave me a problem, the other 2 are not close. In this time of Covid-19, they can't give a loaner or give a ride home, so I tried this one. Check engine light was on the the code said cam shaft sensor and that could be bad. When I called to talk to a service rep, I was able to. Instead of trying to scare a woman, they listened and suggested that it could just be a misfiring plug. Just clear the code and see if it comes back. I did twice more and the second time made an appointment. I also had them check the battery and the brakes since the car is 5 years old. I had a use Uber to get home and take a day off. Mid day I checked and the sensor needed replaced and so did the battery but not the brakes. Honest showed. I had a coupon from their website and the service representative told me if that didn't work come and see her. I did have to take 2 hours off the next day since it took to the end of the day. Coupon worked and quickly got my car. That is when the only problem happened. When I turned on the car, the radio came on loud with a very political station that I would NEVER EVER THINK to listen to. Someone must didn't like my social justice bumper stickers. Also the storage between the seats had been pulled out, passenger seat storage gone thru, and what had been the bad sensor throw into storage under radio. When I called to let them know what happened, the service rep was so upset that happened and told me she would have the general manager call me. He did and listened to what happened. He promised to find out who did that. He even remembered my bumper stickers so you know he walks the shop checking on the repairs. Politics have poisoned our society too much in the last 10 years. I will not let the last thing stop me from coming back. I just wish they had Saturday oil changes or getting tires.

They said sorry we are busy. I ended up sitting there until 11:20, almost an hour an half after my appointment, with my one year old son, for them to tell me their computers weren't working and they wouldn't be able to service my vehicle. Wow. I kindly shared my experience and feedback before I left. My feedback: *Don't set the expectation to your customers with appointment times. They don't exist there. You're better off saying first come, first serve basis. *Offer to call me when the computers are working again and fit me in, anytime! Any day! Even if it's next month! You didn't solve the brake recall issue. You didn't make and effort to get me back in your building. You simply gave me my keys and sent me on my way. (After you shared how safe it was to get this brake recall fixed). I was offered a car wash in the future but not my brakes to be repaired. *Don't tell me that my car will be finished in 20 minutes when you didn't even start on it yet. *I'm in the appointment business. I value people's time. I take pride on a smooth running schedule. Have the common courtesy to tell me on the phone that it will be difficult to get you in today and we are running behind schedule. That's all. Be realistic. You have people that only sit next to the phones there. Have that person that only sits next to the phone to call the customer that's on their way for their appointment. They kindly offered a shuttle ride ( I live 2 miles away). When the shuttle got there 40 minutes later, they said you can take it or wait 20 minutes for your vehicle recall to be resolved. I said thank you very much but we will wait since it's almost finished and I appreciate your time. They hadn't even started on it. I sat there in front of my car for another 30 minutes. Just be straight with me. As I sat there for an hour and half, smiling at everyone walking by, I viewed the customers, employees, and service. Everyone was so unhappy or complaining. It was unsatisfactory. The department needs a refresh seminar on customer care, timing, and basic efficiency skills. So now I'm back at square one. Awesome.
