Genthe Chevrolet Sales Department.
First, I'd like to start by saying, I've been a loyal Chevrolet customer for over 30 years. I had the best salesman by the name of Tony Grima for the entire time. Whenever I was ready to purchase a vehicle I'd call Tony, whether it was to lease or buy. Never had a problem. Best service I could ever ask for. Well, Tony retired, but he did refer me to Justin Kegley. The 1st time I met Justin, Tony was with me and we leased a car for my wife. No problems, service was great. 2nd time, same thing. Tony was with us and we had no problems. Well, they say 3rd time is a charm, but that was not the case. Tony was not with me and it was a very disappointing experience. So the reason for the one star is as follows. I went to Justin because I was ready to lease a new truck. Was excited mind you. Looking forward to it actually. That didn't last long. While going through the financing, I was told there were late payments on my wife's vehicle. We discuss that, and I had to put $1000 down. Mind you, they had advertised zero down, and when I bought that to Justin attention, he chuckled and said "that advertisement is just to get you in the door". Then Justin tells me there's no incentives available for the truck I was interested in leasing. He also said he need my wife's car registration, which I didn't understand that request. He also said I had to get auto insurance coverage on truck immediately but to hold off on driving the truck home while he waits a week to see if any GM incentives would be available for it. Now I've never heard of a dealership saying you have to provide auto insurance coverage for a vehicle that you are not driving home. Is this something new? So after leaving without the truck that is covered under my insurance, I wait the request days, hoping an incentive would come in to get me a discount on the lease. Upon the date Justin gave me to call back to check on the incentive, he tells me they did not have one. At this point I'm beyond frustrated and upset. I go to pick up the truck, finish signing the papers and leave. Vowing never to go back there again. Upon leaving the dealership I notice there were 225 miles on the truck. After going over the paperwork with my wife I saw Justin has put there were only 17 miles on the truck. I immediately called Justin back and told him what I had found and he said to bring the paper work back and he'll correct it. When I took the paperwork back in, I was made to wait an hour before anyone assisted me with this matter. It felt like I was an inconvenience instead of a loyal customer. So not only did the lease agreement have false information on it, I realized that while I was waiting on an incentive someone else had been driving the truck insured under my auto insurance. WOW!!! As I stated in the beginning of this review, for over 30 years I have been a loyal customer of Chevrolet. I've referred my family and friends to Chevrolet, because Tony Grima was the best. But this has been one of the worst experiences I've ever had with Chevrolet and I know I will not be returning to this dealership in the future.
