Davis Chevrolet will take advantage of you, Buyers Beware! Avoid and find a more reputable dealership!
My review is based truly off of my current real-life experience. I was looking for a used Jeep, so I contacted the salesman Jose Niño, who I thought was a friend, to help me find a great deal. Let me know they had just gotten a jeep in as a trade-in and asked if I wanted to look at it. Once I arrived, it had not been processed yet. It was in the back and I really liked it. So of course, I was told if I didn't act now, the jeep would be processed over the weekend, and by Monday it would be sold from under me. Typical salesman tactics, unfortunately they worked and I went ahead and processed my sale.
The dealer wanted to finance at an unacceptable rate, so I financed through my bank and purchased an extended warranty. We thought everything was quick and great...$12,000 later we were very wrong! The following has happened before my first payment was even due, which shows the timeline.
A week into owning my jeep, I noticed it was taking a lot of gasoline, which I thought because of larger tires would've been the issue. Then a couple days later I noticed a lag and acceleration. This led to coming to a complete stop one morning while driving to work due to a flashing check engine light. I had to have it towed to the nearest Jeep dealer. After being given an evaluation by the service team, things were not adding up, and I was told by their service advisors that the damage with the jeep is not consistent with damage that would've happened in the time span that I have owned it.
I immediately reached out to Davis Chevrolet and have only had "we will get back to you" or Voicemail. I have had several conversations with the salesman Mr. Niño who has not been helpful and blames me for not financing with them or purchasing the dealers extended warranty. It should not matter who I finance with. It is clear that due to the quick turnaround with the sale. I suspect they failed to do any of the 100 point inspections that were necessary. Most likely they would have found those issues like a bent axle, among other issues with the engine and motor and sent it to auction! Davis Chevrolet and Mr Niño, saw that we really liked the vehicle and they took advantage of that situation. We have called the owner and left various voice messages, and everything is falling on deaf ears and they are not willing to budge or help us in anyway. We were simply another sale to them!
The extended warranty purchased through our bank has denied our claim, stating that damage appears to be preexistent to our ownership of the vehicle. This aligns with the inspection report from our service advisor. So now we have to get our bank, that technically owns the vehicle, involved to fight for the damage to be fixed.
This has been a very frustrating process, and the only way to warn others of the lack of professionalism, help or communication from Davis Chevrolet is by leaving this review. As I stated before, all of this has happened before even giving my first payment. So, warning to anyone wanting to shop with a reputable dealership, I avoid Davis Chevrolet and look somewhere else!
