I went into Davis Chevrolet to have a recall worked on for my 2011 GMC Acadia Denali. The recall was for the power lift gate on my motorized rear trunk. I'd had the notice for awhile but kept putting it off until the lift pole recently broke upon opening, so I figured I'd better get it fixed before something else resulted from it. I was told it would take 45 minutes. I opted to wait assuming it would be a pretty simple in and out process and arrived with just my daughter the week before Christmas at 8:30 am for my scheduled appointment. Not exactly a place u care to be that early in the morning if you're a female! I went to the check out desk where I was repeatedly avoided by the lady sitting on her duff in the far corner desk. She noticed me, but continued to do whatever she deemed more important while I waited, only to redirect me to the service desk in the garage area several minutes later. Great way to start the morning! After checking in and waiting the 45 minutes I was quoted, a service worker came out to tell me that the recall was to reprogram the computer that runs the motor but that the pole attached to the motor that was broken was not included in the recall. Really? No coincidence I guess that the very pole that broke was attached to the motor they needed to reprogram?? He quoted me $146 to have this fixed. I gave him the go ahead, but immediately sent a text to my husband to explain the situation. No way was my husband agreeing to pay for something that he deemed directly related to the negligence of GMC and their defective lift gate motor, so he contacted the service manager (Terry Owens) who claimed he would have to contact the GMC rep (Tim Groves) to approve coverage since it couldn't be proven that the recall was the cause of it breaking. My husband had intentions of doing that himself (which he communicated), but gave Terry the chance to make it right himself first. Several moments later, my husband received a call back to find out...you guessed it...Tim at GMC wouldn't approve the coverage. The whole time Terry (service manager) kept bringing up that we had never serviced our vehicle there before, yet he couldn't explain how that had anything to do with our situation & denied that it would have helped the cause if we ever had, so why bring it up? We concluded this must have meant that if u don't waste your money servicing your vehicle there on a regular basis then they feel no loyalty to doing what's right for you further down the road when u bring a car with their brand in for a recall. Let's not forget the fact they chose to NOT gain a new customer with a $50,000 car bearing their logo over a $75 part! I'm pretty sure I've already spent plenty to support GMC, yet THEIR loyalty still remains to themselves. If I'd had a choice outside of a GMC/Chevrolet dealer, I would have taken my vehicle to a different location for the recall too, just like anything else I've ever needed done! No one with any sense goes to a dealer by choice for anything in my opinion! Scenarios just like this are the reason most people go elsewhere. They're gonna rip u off if given the chance and this happened to be the only time Davis Chevrolet was gonna be able to screw us over since we have been smart enough to have no history with them making it clear it would be their only shot. Needless to say, after a lengthy conversation, my husband told them to discontinue their work. If we were going to have to pay out of pocket to have something fixed, we would rather choose to give our business to someone with integrity! Nearly two hours later when I left to get my keys and the paperwork to my car, I was met with attitude from the same lazy employee I was greeted by that morning. She knew I was irritated and I guess she had nothing better to do but try and make it worse. I mean after all, she had to get up from her chair twice because of me...obviously an inconvenience to what her plans were for that day! I received many nasty looks on the way out. Such a great way for these guys to act like gentlemen in front of a lady and her daughter!! Typical car salesman & grease monkey behavior when they find out they can't rip you off. I got home to discover the possible cause of their stares. Apparently my husband spent too much time ripping the manager a new "tailpipe", and so he didn't have adequate time to spread the news to halt work that was being done, so they had no choice but to send me on my way with the lift pole intact or break what they had fixed...lmao!! Guess they weren't willing to tuck their tails and explain that before I left. Finally...justice for the little guy!! I'll NEVER go back to Davis Chevrolet again, even for a recall! I'd rather drive out of town and find someone who knows what their job description as a customer service manager is...Someone neglected to train the ENTIRE group of employees at this location on the "customer service" part for sure!! read more
