I've seen some really negative reviews of D.J.'s on line and thought I should put my two cents in…read more I grew up in the car biz (dad owned three dealerships at one time) so kinda know the drill. My experience with D.J.'s couldn't have been more professional and pleasant. We bought an older vehicle with very high miles (over 300k.) The price we negotiated was more than fair. They let me drive the vehicle several times. I looked it over top to bottom and went for it. The battery was shot so they replaced that along with all the clamps for free after we negotiated the price. They had me sign the "as-is" document. Mark explained the meaning to me, that there would be no returns and no "Lemon Law" benefits. I had my eyes wide open. I've been driving the beast as a daily driver for going on 5 months now and am exceedingly happy. The vehicle has ended up (so far, knock on wood) with only one pretty significant "wart" that I'm working on fixing (that they couldn't likely have even known existed). I'll be able to fix it (to the tune of about 25% of my purchase price) and still be way ahead of the book value on this vehicle. I am a very satisfied customer and wouldn't have a problem referring friends. It's a used car lot. They sell used cars.

I went into Rick's with relatively low expectations given that my experience with independent…read moredealers in the past has been less than great. The guys here were really relaxed, answered my questions and avoided anything that felt "used car salesman-y". Prices were the best I found in a wide radius and they were very willing to haggle a bit on price. The physical building wasn't much to look at, but in the end, I'm much more interested in a good deal than in paying for someone else's expensive overhead. The car came with a 30 day, 1000 mile warranty from the dealership as well - it was nice that they actually stick behind the cars they sell. In the end, the experience was good enough that I will be looking here again the next time I'm looking for a new (to me) vehicle.

On the website you can enter a price as an offer. I entered the price of $19,000. This was a little low but I was hoping we could negotiate. A coworker recommended this place to me. I visited the dealership and was late due to the construction (they didn't tell me!). I was given a salesperson who did not know anything about a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited! What's the horsepower? "Um, don't know, I'll have to ask" Is there hill descent control? Is there hill start assist? What is the engine? What are the tires? "Um, I'll have to get back with you about that". The guy was nice and there was no pressure. But really, he couldn't answer any of my questions. I told him about my price offer and that I had done research and thought it was pretty reasonable since the car is not new but used and there are better offers in in the area. He asked me if there were any other cars I was interested in. I said a Subaru Forester. He said he would go look and see if they had any on their other lots. He disappeared for some time and then returned with the manager. The manager told me there was no way I could get a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited anywhere around here for $19k. He said he looked at all of McGrath's lots and there was just no way. He showed me some computer paper which had a price of $25k which he said was the price they bought the car. Are you kidding me! What a bunch of malarkey! He said he would go down $500 but no more. Well, I thanked him for his time and walked out the store. I never did get the info on the Subaru or any of my Wrangler questions answered. It's probably for the best since I doubt the salesperson I was with knew anything about a Subaru either. They should have just told me they couldn't meet my price instead of wasting my time. The whole time I was waiting for the salesperson to find out about the Subaru, they were in the researching if there were any Jeep Unlimiteds for $19k? Really?! Why didn't they just come out and tell me straight up they couldn't meet my price but they could help me find another car? Instead they made me look like I was a liar! I guess it's okay for the salesperson to lie but if a customer is lying, then the management will spend 30 minutes doing research to find out if the customer is lying. Iowa is not a good place to buy a Jeep since they are overpriced here due to their popularity. Chicago is the best place to go to find a fair price. It's not as popular since most urbanites want a fuel efficient car. This experience left me really bad impressions of McGraths and Jeep. Only go here if you want a car that is overpriced and you are not willing (too lazy) to go to Chicago for a fair price.

They claim to be full tow service so I called to have my car towed into their shop I was informed that no they don't do towing, so I asked why they claim to be full tow service when Gary informed me that they provide the phone number for me to call and make the arrangements to have my car towed into their shop, not sure how that makes them full tow service but I can certainly Google a phone number myself. I was also in formed that the online appointment don't coincide with the shops actual schedule. And just because I made the appointment for that day does not mean that is the day they will get to my car. I was at work and didn't have time to find another shop and explain what I needed done. I paid $181 to have my car towed to their shop. I called a few hours later just to make sure my car had been towed in. I was told they hooked a code reader up to the car and he proceeds to tell me a thousand different things that could or couldn't be wrong with the car. I told him I don't care what the code reader says are you going to fix the valve cover gasket which is why I brought it in. He goes on and on about this code reader and how fixing that isn't going to do any good if I don't fix this and this and this. So I said okay don't worry about it I'll come pick up my car because a code reader can give you 10 different codes and from there it's a guessing game. Never asked my car to be hooked up to a code reader I dropped it off explaining what I needed done. He informs me that I owe $87.00. they didn't do anything to my vehicle except hook it up to a code reader that I never asked for and literally takes what maybe 30-40 seconds. so $181 to have it towed, $87 for the 30second effort they spent on my car and the $100+ dollars it's going to be for another tow truck. It cost me over $400 just to have them hook up a code reader. And not the actual repairs I took it in for. After calling other businesses who will actually service my vehicle I was informed my car doesn't even have a valve cover gasket it has a cam carrier... Too bad the code reader couldn't tell them that! I can't even express how much I do not recommend

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED -- GET A SECOND OPINION BEFORE TRUSTING THIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT…read moreWe purchased our 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD diesel from McGrath on August 22, 2022. It was a certified vehicle, and we had a trade-in. Like many people who make a major vehicle purchase, we later questioned whether we had paid more than we should have. But we accepted our decision and continued doing business with McGrath, including having them perform routine maintenance and oil changes. Unfortunately, our recent experience has completely changed our opinion of this dealership. We recently developed a problem with our truck. My husband is a mechanic himself, but because today's diesel systems are considerably more complicated than they once were, he felt it was best to have a qualified diesel technician diagnose the problem. We took the truck to McGrath and were told they would put it on their computer and determine what was wrong. After keeping the truck for a couple of days, McGrath told us the problem was an injector and connector and estimated the repair at approximately $4,000. We were shocked. Rather than authorize a $4,000 repair, we decided to investigate further and get a second opinion. We picked up our truck from McGrath and were charged nearly $400 for the diagnostic work. Here's where this experience became particularly disturbing. We took the truck to another certified diesel mechanic and explained McGrath's diagnosis. After examining the truck, he told us he did not believe the injector or connector was the problem and suspected the wiring harness. We left the truck with him this week. He was right. The problem was the wiring harness, not the injector and connector. The truck was repaired for approximately $500, and it is now running perfectly. So let's look at the numbers: McGrath's diagnosis: Injector + connector McGrath's estimate: Approximately $4,000 McGrath's diagnostic charge: Nearly $400 Actual problem: Wiring harness Actual repair cost: Approximately $500 Result: Truck running perfectly That's not a small difference. That's a $3,500+ difference in the proposed repair, based on a diagnosis that turned out to be wrong. We understand that diagnosing mechanical problems isn't always an exact science and that technicians can occasionally be wrong. What we cannot accept is being presented with a nearly $4,000 repair based on an incorrect diagnosis, and then being charged nearly $400 for that diagnosis. After years of doing business with McGrath, this experience has completely destroyed our confidence in their service department. We went there expecting professional, honest, competent service. Instead, we left feeling like we needed to protect ourselves by getting a second opinion and, thankfully, we did. Had we simply trusted the diagnosis and authorized the repair, we could have spent thousands of dollars repairing something that wasn't even the problem. That is unacceptable to us. We will not be taking our truck back to McGrath for service. And based on what happened to us, we strongly encourage anyone facing an expensive repair estimate to get a second opinion before authorizing the work. We aren't writing this because we are unhappy about spending money on our truck. We understand vehicles require maintenance and repairs. We're writing this because we paid nearly $400 for a diagnosis that was wrong, were given an approximately $4,000 repair estimate based on that diagnosis, and another qualified diesel mechanic found and repaired the actual problem for about $500. After this experience, McGrath has lost our business and our trust.
