Sales is great at Chevyland, but service is horrible. We had a problem with the cluster switching back & forth to the radio display on our 2017 Silverado. The truck is still under warranty. I took the truck in on Nov. 1st. & got a courtesy truck. I live out of town & spent the whole day in the neighborhood, thinking it would be ready in the afternoon. My service advisor never gave me any indication otherwise. When I called to inquire, she wasn't available. I left a message & she didn't return my call, so I stopped by to check. She was quite condescending & said it wasn't ready & that's why they gave me a courtesy vehicle. She called the next day, so I drove in to pick it up. They did 2 updates & reset it. Before I left the lot, it was still doing the same thing. I should have left it again, but had a full schedule & thought I would see how it did the rest of the day. It kept doing it, so I made an appointment for Nov. 5th. Got another courtesy vehicle, which was a down grade. I repeatedly called for an update....my advisor was never available & would not return my calls. When she finally did, again she was rude & condescending with excuses as to why it hadn't even been looked at for a couple of days. They determined it needed a new cluster....the programming failed, so they ordered another one. Failed again. By this time, I was very frustrated & went there to speak with the service manager...explained the situation & she referred me to the service director. He was very nice & kept me updated. He also offered to bring my truck to me when it was fixed. I told him we would decide then, because I am often in town. Fortunately, I did not have to deal with the original service advisor anymore. They then determined the part # was different...ordered another one. Then let me know it was ready. I went to pick it up on Wed., Nov. 21st. Before I left the service area with my truck, it was still doing the same thing. I drove out & waited in the lot for a few minutes to see if the problem continued. It did, so I drove back around to leave it again. Suffice it to say, I was extremely angry & frustrated. The next courtesy vehicle was quite nice, so at least that was a plus. Finally, on Nov. 30th, the service director called to say it was ready. They had to order a new radio screen. According to my ticket, the original had shorted out. He asked if I still wanted him to bring it to me & I said I surely did & if it did the same thing even one time, to take it back until it's fixed. Fortunately, it was fixed.
The whole ordeal was very frustrating. This is the 3rd truck we've purchased from Chevyland since 2011 & it will be the last. Sales have always been great, but service is never consistent. Sometimes they take a reasonable time for oil changes & recalls, but other times, the wait is ridiculous. Although this is the 1st time we've actually had a problem, the service was awful. It's like going to a restaurant & the food is great, but the service is bad....it ruins the whole experience. Several of the people I talked to in the service dept. need to be instructed as to how to speak to the customer. I'm a very easy going & understanding person, but when I'm spoken to in a condescending manner & made to feel that me, the customer isn't valued, then enough is enough. In addition, the time frame of almost a month to get my truck fixed was unacceptable. It makes it look as though they have no clue what they're doing.
My husband & I are 60, so we could conceivably purchase 3 or more vehicles in our lifetime, but it won't be from Chevyland. I will also be leaving this review on their website.
**12/26/18 Update - Above is the actual review I submitted via email. I did get a call from the General Sales Manager quite quickly offering to do whatever they can to make it right. Too little, too late. Also, no luck leaving a review on their website. There's no option to do that - apparently it's published from an emailed survey - of which I did one. But I believe they send a couple of surveys that go to different locations - one to GM maybe & one to Chevyland. I know I've received more than one before & usually they are in my quarantine folder, so it could've been missed. No one at Chevyland seems to know who or how to get the above review published.
