My Jeep

DO NOT GO HERE FOR SERVICE! I took my 2021 (2.5yr old) Jeep Wrangler Sport into the service department because I had been experiencing the engine fan revving, which led to the overheating light coming on twice. They came back after a very short period of time and said I need to replace my entire engine and it would cost me $16,000. That's right sixteen thousand dollars. They said my radiator and condenser was clogged with mud which caused my engine long blocks to overheat and warp. They said because I had been Off-roading the warranty was voided and I would have to pay out of pocket. Mind you I hadn't touched an Offroad trail in over a year and this problem just started. On top of that I am super meticulous about keeping my baby clean. They didn't look at the thermostat or water pump. They didn't suggest replacing the radiator first. They went straight to engine replacement. I then asked for photos of the clog. They basically lifted the hood and snapped 2 pictures of my engine bay, which I will admit has dirty water residue from Off-roading on it. NOT thick mud. They never took off my grill to look at the radiator. They didn't take anything apart to look into the engine to see the long blocks. I pushed back and said I'm not replacing the engine and asked why we wouldn't just replace the radiator first. The tech said let me ask the mechanic and call you back. I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN. Side note, I did notice before I took it in that the 2nd coolant reservoir was empty but I didn't touch it because I wasn't sure what to do with it. I didn't tell them that. When I picked up my Jeep later that day, I noticed they filled that reservoir. I haven't had an issue with the fan or overheating since and it's been 2 weeks. No one from the service dept was there to talk with me when I went to pick it up. These people tried to charge me $16k to fix a coolant issue. Luckily I was smarter than that. But I still had to pay $200 for the dam diagnostic which was a rip-off. They still have yet to contact me and ask about my experience or my vehicle. Tony Hooper at Calavan was cute but only helped to give unsatisfactory service and try and scam me. I will never go there again and will tell my 900+ Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator community to never go there as well. Moral of the story, do your research and don't trust the dealership.

This is the disclaimer that Calavan Jeep snuck onto my service receipt. Shenanigans!

If dgaf had a twin it's this place. Before they became Calavan Jeep, customer service meant more to the team here than now. And I haven't just had 1 bad experience that left me with this impression. It's been a slow decline of decent level service over the past 36 months. I took my Jeep in for an oil change on a Saturday morning 6 weeks ago and while changing my oil the mechanic cracked a component that houses my oil which resulted in me having an oil leak. No one from the service department informed me of any issues occurring and I discovered my oil leaking on my own from the huge spot in my driveway. What they did do though was place a disclaimer on the back page of my receipt (shown below) stating that the dealership isn't responsible for any cracks, etc. or anything aside from the requested service. This statement has never appeared on any of my other service receipts and I've been loyal to this dealership for 5 years plus. I'm a realist and I understand that mistakes are inevitable but my patience is nil when deception comes into play. I keep my maintenance up on my truck so that I remain independent because I'm a disabled woman. I made several attempts at trying to get a service advisor on the phone to discuss this matter and got nowhere until I filed a grievance with corporate. The service manager, Mr. Whitehead, upon greeting me opened the dialogue by asking me, "What happened to me, and what do they call it, Muscular Dystrophy?" He was referring to the way that I walk while using crutches, which honestly has no bearing whatsoever with the matter at hand. His question caught me off guard and I simply told him I'm grateful to be alive after being in a bad wreck years ago. He went on to let me know that the disclaimer printed on my service receipt, is also on all service write up receipts that they do, and that this wasn't an isolated case and concluded by telling me he had several other vehicles in his shop that now have a crack resulting in an oil leak as mine does. This type of thing happens all the time and Jeep won't fix it at no charge to me, and that this is a common issue that comes with older vehicles. The next day he called me with a quote of an amount in excess of $1600 and that was after he'd taken $200 off the original estimate. This is a stressful situation for me now and I still have an oil leak that must be resolved soon. But why would I entrust Calavan Jeep to do the repair, when they weren't honest with me prior and allowed me to leave after paying for an oil change, and my truck is leaking oil? All trust is lost.

Great Online Purchase! Gorgeous Vehicle, Awesome Price, and Outstanding customer service. Myles was…read moreour salesman and he never skipped a beat with our process. We traded in our Rogue for a Mercedes-Benz GLK350. Although Myles had a family emergency and could not attend to us in person, he completed all of our paperwork. He conveniently left it printed in a folder in his drawer. We drove 5hrs from SC so that was super convenient as the weather was nasty all the way to GA. Elias was extremely helpful in filling in for Myles. He was knowledgeable and personable. The Mr. Beltran was able to save us an additional $500. The paper signing was fast, Easy and No fuss. Mr. Beltran has an Absolute Gem! I highly recommend Sutherlin Volkwagen in Lithia Springs Georgia. 1.) Service- 5 2.) Time it took to complete transaction-5 3.) Customer Service-5 4.) Accuracy of transaction from website to actual- 5 5.) Finance Dept. -5

I paid six figures to be told "sorry, nothing we can do."…read more I bought a 2024 Mercedes GLS 63 from Hoover Volkswagen, sight unseen, from out of state. That takes trust. I trusted what they told me. That was a mistake. During the walkaround, they pointed out exactly one dent and assured me it was fixed while I was making payments. The sales rep told me the car came with two keys. Neither of those things turned out to be true. The car showed up filthy. Coffee stains inside. Sticky surfaces. The dent? Still there. Temporary plates? None. And instead of two keys, I got one. I called Todd, the sales manager. He agreed to cover the $200 for the dent, which is the bare minimum for a repair they already told me was done. Then we got to the key. A replacement costs $1,400. I asked him point blank: "So you're telling me two keys were promised, you only shipped one, and I have to pay $1,400 out of pocket because your sales rep misrepresented the deal?" His answer: "Yes." That's it. Sorry, nothing I can do. Not a word about delivering a six-figure car in a condition no buyer should accept. So I asked to speak with the owner. Not possible, I was told. The owner's name is on every page of my paperwork, but apparently he can't be bothered to answer for what his dealership does. That tells you everything about how this place runs. The only person who did his job right was Leon in finance. He was responsive, honest, and professional. He deserves better than the team he works with. If you're buying from out of state, get every promise in writing. Better yet, buy somewhere else.
