Wow! I can't say how easy it was to deal with Cargill. I live 45 minutes away and I was able to do EVERYTHING online (From selecting my 2020 Equinox to getting the best price). Best part was dealing with Charlie Gleavy, told him what I was looking for and my price range and we got the deal over the phone and they even delivered my new vehicle amd picked up my old one. So much better than dealing with the "Big Box" dealers in Rhode Island. Highly recommend give them a chance before you go anywhere else. read more

This dealership has to have the most negligent and careless customer service experience I've ever had. I purchased a used vehicle back in January with a warranty I was assured was the same coverage a new vehicle had. Their sales team was prompt in getting the sale and financing, as well as delivering and taking care of the registration, but that's where the convenience ended. A few days later, I realized the heated seats didn't work. It wasn't labeled on the sale page and I was assured every used vehicle went through a 'full check'. I called about it, and was bounced to the service department. They said they couldnt do anything without the P&S agreement. The sales team said they would mail everything [Reg, P&S, warranty], and I would have it in a few days. 12 days later, they send just the registration. Over the next few weeks, I was bounced between different people as to who actually had it, who would send it to me, etc etc. I finally spoke to someone who could find it and email it, conveniently after the 30 grace. I brought the car to another dealer who would run the warranty, only to find that the bumper to bumper, that I was assured would cover all electrical and mechanical components wasnt covered. The backend experience of this has been God awful. I cannot for the life of me figure out how this place has above 4 stars. Completely careless team, disorganized, and inconsistent leadership. I'll be submitting a report to the BBB. read more

Had the engine light come on in my vehicle, took it to Auto Zone and the staff was able to hook up a diagnostic test and found the problem. I then called the dealer, found it was a common problem in the Chevy Trax and it would be covered. Went in to the appt and was greeted by a male manager, gave him the diagnostic report and was told that a diagnostic test would be performed to find the problem and "if" it was covered, then they would fix it. I asked about the person I spoke with on the phone that said "it was a common problem" and he said he had no clue if that was it and became very condescending and talking down to me. He was putting on an aggressive sell and I wanted the part replaced and nothing more. He wrote up the new slip, and in the end, the mechanic confirmed it was a common problem, it was replaced free and engine light was off. We as women should not be treated like we are stupid and don't understand when there are ways to save money and not be bullied into paying more than we need. Buyer beware - do your homework before, as they will take advantage of your money. read more

I bought a chevy Colorado ZR2 From Cargill Chevrolet in Putnam Connecticut. It was used 2019. It had 31000 miles on it. I loved as soon as I seen it. I knew I wanted.it at first galce the Sales department Did everything they could to get me home in that day and they Did. I traded in my jeep Grand cherokee which I was in love with too I put money down and everything. And I drove home in the truck. Not even a week after I had the trck i had to bring it in because I Was hearing noises In the front end, the guy said he couldn't replicate the noise but they did fix the adjuster for the steering column because the steering column was locked up.Then a couple of weeks later. Brought it back cause of the noise in the front end was getting worse The service manager Nick, who at the time was working with me said he would have his guys look at it they had it for 2 weeks They gave it back a couple weeks later. And no sooner did I drive out there parking lot the noise was there clear as day I went right back and had nick the service manager take a drive with me as I was driving he was telling me that the squeaking was birds chirping we got back to cargill and with out having even touch the brakes or gas pedal while coasting through the parking lot the squeaking noise was louder than ever he looks at me and says we are chasing different noises are you kidding me Ive heard the noise since I bought the truck and he knows cause i deal with him every time then he tells me bring it back friday but doesn't have a loaner vehicle for me so what i cant go to work cause your techs and master mechanic are not doing there jobs and or lie to customers about whats really going on with there certified used truck I was the sucker they seen coming and they sold me a used truck for a brand new price I think for $50000 or better. I should be treated with a little bit more dignity. It is my hard-earned money. That is being thrown out the window. Paying for a truck that ultimately is going to break. If not fixed. So in The service manager Nick's eyes. I am no good because I voice my First Amendment right to freedom of speech. He will not work on my vehicle now. Because I have left reviews stating that he is an arrogant Person who tells a customer that is worried about his safety and worried about his investment. Not to come back if I don't like the way they work on my vehicle. It's pretty sad I spent good money and I'm being treated. Horribly, I just want my truck fixed. I want to feel safe in my truck. I want my truck to last. I've been arguing and dealing with these issues for well over a year now And Cargill Chevrolet and the service department manager Nick are making it so difficult. Oh, and now have told me that he will not work out my vehicle no more because of the review. I left him. About Him telling me not to come back if I didn't like the way they were working on my vehicle. I would stay far away from that place if I were to be buying a car right now. But but I am driving a car. That they will not fix. Because of bad reviews, I will be calling the Better Business Bureau and anybody else. I can because That Is horrible business I give that place 0 stars and the guy. Nick from the service department the manager. The supposed boss that b**** loses his job for allowing somebody to be out on the road in a car that he certified. While it is. Broke broken. He has no concern for your safety at all. Or your kids if I had a kid read more

I brought my car here for an oil change for the 1st time, my usual dealer was booked out. It took about the same time as my regular dealer but these people here were very friendly! They reset my oil life light (they rarely do at my regular place) AND the give you a complimentary car wash! I definitely will be making this my to go place for my service!!! read more

Buyer beware:i bought a 2021 Chevy Silverado that is 2 days old on a flat bed with 200 miles on it. Cargill has not been helpful in the least bit telling both myself and GM headquarters there's "nothing more they can do" They initially told me they would replace the part in a few days ( a brand new truck shouldn't need a part first of all) Then after not hearing from them I called and they said it could be weeks. They gave me a loaner that is basically a go cart on truck wheels and told me that was comparable. Which it is far from. They then told me I couldn't return it which is not true according to the consumer rights act. If you're thinking about buying a vehicle from them think twice, they will not stand by it. I have contacted GM and I'm also contacting the better business bureau, state attorney general and will plaster all over social media. Buy ANYWHERE but from here. read more

avoid this place at all costs. I bought a 2020 gmc Sierra for myself and a 2019 ram 1500 for my brother from them. within 24 hours the ram dash lit up like a Christmas tree, we had to have it towed to cargill and they had it for a week and couldn't figure it out so they sent it to their dodge sister company called shoreline. shoreline had it for two weeks. October 31 they finally said the truck was all set so my brother had to drive almost 2 hours one way to get the truck from shoreline. when he got there the issue wasn't dealt with at all and the truck wouldn't start. finally after roughly 15 minutes he got the truck started. the ride home the truck wouldn't leave 1st gear and he had to tow it home. the truck has been on and off not starting and we let cargill know what part it was and they said they ordered it. it's now 12/13 and the truck still isn't starting and we still haven't gotten the part from them and they won't even answer my calls anymore. all these issues with the ram and I'm still having a issue with my gmc that they claimed they said they fixed as well. they are by far the worst dealer I have ever worked with and I'm not even sure their service department has any idea to fix anything. read more

I am 17 and was looking for my first vehicle. I went on Cargills website and found a bunch of vehicles in my price range. When I came down Andre and Tony both assisted me with looking at the vehicles and test driving all of them. They gave me helpful specific information on each vehicle to assist with my decision of which on suits me. Everything was timely and organized. Both also gave great tips on features that I wouldn't have know to look for or use. Overall it was a great experience that wasn't overwhelming or complicated. For my first experience everything was extremely straightforward. I am very satisfied with my vehicle. read more

In summary; Their salesman Aaron uses manipulative sales tactics, the employees lie, and don't care once their methods don't work. I contacted this dealership at 8am inquiring about the availability of a car. They told me it was available and I expressed great interest asking for it to be put on hold. I also said very outright that I'm ready to buy right now. Alina then passed me off to their salesman Aaron. I explain that I'm currently at work and have been trying to find this exact car for some time now. I let him know that if the car is truly available I'll try and leave work early and drive three hours from NY to come get it. I asked a handful of questions and Aaron kept giving very short answers and only answering one thing that was asked and ignoring the rest. Someone came In on their day off to cover for me so I headed to the dealership and informed Aaron. Very conveniently two and a half hours into my three hour drive he starts texting me and called me letting me know the car is no longer available and offered me an OLDER car for nearly $4000 more. Thanks for baiting me out three hours to pressure me into dropping me more money o the hope that I'd spend it because I drove so far. Thanks also for wasting my time and money when I drove three hours to you with a blank check in hand to buy a car. read more

HORRIBLE experience. Taken advantage of every step of the way. 1. Unnecessarily damaged my credit score without my permission (FIVE hard inquiries) 2. Hid thousands of dollars worth of bumper damage and refused to do anything about it once it was discovered. 3. Lied (possibly unknowingly) that the vehicle had a feature that it did not (lane departure warning), but once it was brought to their attention, they ignored me and didn't do anything about it. Not even an apology for providing misinformation. 4. Charged a HIDDEN $600 documentation fee! Never informed of it, and it wasn't included in the purchase price. Basically a shady tactic to increase profit. REFUSED to refund. 5. Failed to refund the $500 test drive fee until I notified them for a second time, even though they had told me the specific day that they were going to refund it (and didn't). 6. Paid $900 for 10 full details and they only did the exterior when I brought it down the first time. When I brought it to their attention, all I got was a "sorry." 7. AVOID the salesman named JON JACKEL. He does not care about the customer. He pretends to care about your needs, then completely flip flops once he has sold you the vehicle. SHADY SALESMAN. I love the car itself, but this poor experience has made me bitter to it and it's become very difficult to enjoy it. Every time I drive the vehicle, all I can think about is how I was taken advantage of. BUYER BEWARE!! read more

Would strongly recommend NOT buying a used car from this dealership. They used a bait and switch on me the day I was going up to purchase a pick-up truck. Salespeople there are unprofessional and a throwback to the slick used car dealers from years past. read more

Great products, great prices, great people - exactly what the car buying experience should be! The entire process of shopping for and buying our new Tahoe was completely uncomplicated and straightforward. From the start, we found the online listing to be accurate and attractively priced. At the dealership, our salesman (Moises) was knowledgeable and efficient; and spent ample time with us both before and after the sale. When we're in the market for another new vehicle - likely this fall - we'll be back. Thanks for giving us a positive experience. read more

My husband and I just had the best vehicle buying experience we've ever had at Cargill Chevrolet. They were fair with the trade, fair with the price, and the whole experience was very pleasant - not an adjective typically used to describe a car buying experience. We are so happy we came here! Thank you! We will definitely consider shopping here again the next time we need a vehicle. read more

I am completely disappointed with my service from Cargill. I went in to buy a used car, and Stacy was my car salesman. He took advantage of me because I am a young girl and tried to add things onto my loan without my knowledge of how much the price of anything was. There was a scratch on the car and he told me they would do anything they could ot get as much of the scratch out as possible. I came back the next day and it wasn't even touched. He had the car detailed and services at the very last second. He was very unorganized through the whole process. Made me come back several times. He also told me he was going to have someone come to me more than once, I cleared my schedule and then he proceeded to tell me that nobody could come that day and that we needed to pick another day. This whole entire deal has left me unhappy. I will not be returning to Cargill and I absolutely would not suggest anyone to go there. read more

Horrible service department. After ABS light on the dashboard, I was assured they knew corvettes and it would be an easy fix. $4000 later, light is still on and now they know what it is. Now just needs a $1500 part to get the light to go out on the dashboard. Constantly given the run around and always guessing what's next and how much it's going to cost me! Horrible,Horrific service department read more

Think twice before having your car serviced here! I purchased my 2015 Chevy Tahoe from Cargill 2 years ago and love it. Unfortunately, the power lift gate failed and I brought it back for repairs. The service department had the car while I waited and informed me that the power arm and module was broken - $1200 repair and this was not a common thing. I am glad that I did my due diligence and got a second opinion from a smaller shop. Only the power arm had failed and not the module which Cargill should have known being a certified service shop. I got this fixed for half the price that Cargill quoted. If they tried to do this to me, rest assured they are doing it to others and getting away with it. You figure that there would be some loyalty to their and the automobile's that they sell them. I have zero trust in them and most likely will not be doing any future business. read more

Dishonest and sneaky dealership. I sent them a offer for a minivan, the dealer came back and said the owner "likes the offer, and we want you to come take look at the car", so we set up a time for them to do their "car at the driveway" crap. I wrote them and said I wanted them to give me documentation that they accept my offer first. They dodged me all day and finally I got ahold of them and they said that "oops, we misunderstood our owner, he wants to counter offer". The price was higher than they car was listed for! They changed the price because they noticed they were lower than Kelly blue book he said. How do you change your price after posting it for a lower price?! They are all crooks. Don't give them your business read more

I am extremely displeased only due to the fact that they Don't know how to treat there employees and when I went to go vacuum my vehicle and clean out the garbage out of the vehicle the manager of the quick live threatened me and decided that it was okay to almost grab at me I will not be going There nor will any of my friends be going there I also called the managers at the main office and decided to report the manager and I was constructed by the state police over something I didn't even do if you don't want to lose money and be threatened by Scott the manager of the quick lube and car wash dont go there. when I used to work there Scott the quick lune manager was very disrespectful towards his employees and I requested an apology and did not receive one I am going to be contacting the BBB due to this outlandish experience. I feel that you shouldn't be threatened by an employee I own a truck from the company and I was cleaning my vehicle like I said and was extremely uncomfortable by Scott again the manager of the quick lube his actions were uncalled for and by the labor laws should have been repermandes or terminated. read more

Lies...lies....lies...more lies...deception...lies. That's all I heard fromthis deapership. The only reason I purchased a vehicle from them was because they had the exact make, model and trim package I was looking for. The sales team is horrible to work with. I had to ask four times how much they were giving me for a trade in value and then I was offered $1000 on a car that was worth $2900 easily. They downtalk your trade-in and uptalk their merchandise. I would sincerely recommend against shopping with them. read more

There is a reason why this dealership only has negative reviews; it's because they offer the WORST customer service. I saw a car online that was the exact make, model, year, mileage, features etc. that i had been looking for and it was at Cargill Chevrolet. I called and because I was coming from out of state just to see this vehicle, I was told that someone would bring the car to me. I should have known then that it was too good to be true. I took the afternoon off of work and waited for them to arrive. The expected arrival time came and went, so I called and Glenn Morin dodged every single one of my calls. The car was supposed to come at 1:30pm, at 6:30pm, after 5 hours of getting the run around, I was told that no one could bring the car to me that day, but the car would be in my driveway first thing the next morning. at 10am the next morning, i was told that the car was sold the evening before. LIES!!! LIES!!! LIES!!!! Had Glenn Morin just provided customer service from the BEGINNING by answering my phone calls and emails in a timely manner and told me that no one could bring the vehicle, i could have just gone there myself as originally planned! Instead he made me take a day off of work and wait around all day never knowing if the car was actually on its way or not.; so i was afraid to start driving to CT in case the car was already on its way. They then had the nerve to say "we will find you another car just like it". 1) There IS no other car like it, I have been searching and 2) WHY WOULD I EVER DO BUSINESS WITH SUCH UNPROFESSIONALISM!!! read more

I will never go there again! I went in for a emissions inspection, should be a quick job. I asked how long the wait was when I walked in. They told be 25 mins. Ok, so I wait...1 hour later, a guy comes out to tell me they cannot do any inspections right now. Their computers aren't connecting to the internet so they can't do the job. I understand computer issues aren't in their control, BUT informing a customer waiting should have been the first thing they did! I should not have waited for an hour to find out a job that takes 5 mins cannot be done! I am really annoyed by the lack of consideration they had for my schedule, I lost an hour of work waiting for my car NOT to be done. read more

I went into Cargill Chevrolet today, 06-06-2017 with the hopes to participate in one of their offers: '2Day test drive' which is an offer that states that they will bring the vehicle you are interested to your driveway, and that you may drive it for 2 days. If you are not satisfied with the vehicle, they will give you back your 500$ deposit, no problem. Here is the link to that deal, as well as in text form below: ( http://www.cargillchev.com/2DayTestDrive ) Offer in text form: 'We are the only dealership that offers a "Free two day test drive". We bring the test drive to you anywhere in New England or New York. If you love the vehicle after the test drive we will bring the paperwork to you. If it does not fit your needs we will come back and pick it up, its that easy! It only requires that you have a valid drivers license and proof of full coverage insurance. A $500 reservation is also required while you have the vehicle. It is 100% refundable and secure through PayPal. Reserve your vehicle by clicking the PayPal button above. Some Restrictions Apply. See dealer for details **On a mobile device. Reserve your vehicle by going to our full site**' I called Cargill to confirm that is a valid offer, at which point I was told that it was. On arrival later that day I met with my sales associate Moises Quinones. After approaching the offer mentioned above he immediately re-directed the conversation in a very interrogative tone, stating : 'why do you want to just drive it, why don't you just buy it'. Taken aback from this I mentioned that I was definitely strongly considering buying a Chevrolet Camaro, however I was especially interested in coming to this particular dealership due to the '2Day test drive' offer as advertised. He went through a few things and showed me a similar vehicle to the one I wanted. We took a very brief test ride of about 5 minutes. Afterwards he brought me in to speak with the dealership manager : Bob Town. After my sales associate explained to Bob that I wanted to take advantage of the 2Day test drive offer, bob stated that this is an offer only available if you commit to purchasing the vehicle. I was surprised because that is not at all what the offer stated. When questioned on this he went on to say that " I don't make the advertisements". I stated that I had the money that was needed, and can fulfill the necessary paperwork requirements. He simply responded "No thank you". Bob had a very condescending tone in his voice. He was quick with me and barely made eye contact. It was as if I was wasting his time because I wanted to take advantage of one of the offers of his dealership. I was polite, I was respectful, and I was a very eager customer just wanting to test the car before I buy it. I no longer am a potential customer for this establishment. With managers as sneaky, and rude as Bob Town, it surprises me that they do any business at all. I very disappointed with my visit to Cargill Chevrolet. read more

Test drove a Silverado that I agreed to buy 2 days later. They said they sold that one but had the same exact one, different color but same price. They gave me the sticker that listed a feature on it that did not come with the vehicle I purchased which I did not realize until after I drove off with it. Not a show stopper but still sleazy - any dime out of my pocket and in theirs is the game dealerships play. Was told I would have a sprayed in bed-liner installed when I picked it up as part of the sale, was not ready at time of pick up and I needed to come back. Recall for airbags came, I went to another dealership for repairs. Will go elsewhere in the future. read more

The man working the emissions is unprofessional and rude. There is limited parking and the emissions worker will be quick to scold you if you park anywhere in the lot. I do not recommend doing any business with this company. After complaining to the general manager, and returning to complete business days later, the same employee had a horrible demeanor and attitude towards me. Prepare to be disrespected and disappointed. read more

Quite frankly the WORST service department/manager I have ever encountered. I do most of my own work but don't have an alignment machine. 3 return trips for a simple alignment- and oh, the attitude!. Then, a week later the top right camber adjustment bolt fell out. They would not replace- I had to order it. Here we are a few months later and today I discovered BOTH top bolts have fallen out! We have since moved away from the area but if you value your life- STAY AWAY! Can't handle simple work but always trying to sell you things. Just the WORST! read more

I'm giving 2 stars because this is a second hand experience through my Fiance and I was not there to witness it. HOWEVER, based on other reviews I have no reason to believe it didn't happen. My fiance went to Cargil to have a recall fixed on her ignition in her Chevy. She had two other concerns she wanted addressed: If they could put air in her tires, and if they could see the squeak sound when she hit the brakes. I doubt they even took the vehicle into the shop. For the ignition recall, all was needed was a plastic piece in the key itself, nothing to do with the vehicle, but they told her that their washed her car, put air in the tires, and she needed new brakes immediately because they were grinding on the rotors, and it was going to cost $500 dollars. Thankfully my fiance didn't do that and said she would get it done somewhere cheaper. They charged her $100 for a diagnostics fee and parts for the cleaning. The car wasn't washed, and her tires still only have 25 PSI. My father later that day took the wheels off and looks at the brakes and rotors and said that they were practically brand new. They had very little wear on them and could last a long time. and I have photos to prove it. Now I'd like to say, that when Cargil took the tires off the change the brakes, they would see that they didn't need to be done and not charge her for it. But, I bet they would have left them on and charged her anyway. Will not be going to Cargil for any service or new vehicle purchases, do not recommend. read more

How dare they quote Theodore Roosevelt. They should be ashamed of themselves. My daughters car needed the recall for the ignition taken care of. While it was going in she wanted them to check a squeal in the front right area. It had just started that morning. Well 4 hours later they called to say she needed new brake pads and rotors on both sides, to the tune of roughly 500.00. shocked we said put it back together and we will get a second opinion. Well low and behold, there was absolutely nothing wrong with her car. The squeal was some dirt. I got charged 101.00 for a diagnosis that did not even exist. Never ever trust these, dare I even say, people. read more

Deceptive advertising. This dealership lists a picture and description of a vehicle, along with the price in BIG BOLD numbers, but when you contact them, you are told that you have to qualify for that price. When your situation doesn't fit the unrealistic parameters of that advertised price they tried to sell me a vehicle for approximately $16,000 more. Didn't and won't do business with them. read more

Don't believe the shills that write reviews for them. I bought a truck and to make a long story short, I got ripped off big time.

DO NOT buy a vehicle from them or you will be sorry too. read more

For over a year Cargill has been my first choice for fixing my cars' problems. Carl has shown me all the courtesy and helpfulness of someone who holds his customers as his top priority.

I wish I had never gone here. I bought a used Captiva in 2014. These jerks sold it to me for twice of what it was worth. Never trust these fools. It was a piece of crap. It slid in the rain and the rear windshield wipers wouldn't turn off even with the car off. Those so called "mechanics" never fixed the issue. Because it was so dangerous to drive even in the rain, I traded it in. I now have a $465 car payment on a Nissan Juke because I still owed for that POS Craptiva. If I could sue those assholes for ripping me off I would. DO NOT trust these clowns. I am struggling paycheck to paycheck now with the high payment from the upside down loan. Do not go here. They get a zero. I had to give them at least one star to post this which is bull. Final Score= 0 read more

Drove from an hour away to see a vehicle. Salesman was very accommodating and personable, had vehicle all ready to test drive when I got there. Unfortunately, the 3 year old vehicle had about $800- $1000 body damage (dents, broken grill, missing part) and they would not fix it unless I paid for it! No mention it before I drove all the way out there. Sales manager said, "it's a used car". He then dropped a blue book value in front of me to 'show' they had 'overpaid' for it on trade. read more
