    I'd like to start by saying that up until today, I have NEVER given poor reviews. This experience was/is beyond frustrating to the point that I find it necessary for others to be aware of this problem. When I brought my Jeep in for repairs in January, MAYDA URENA was amazing at communicating with me and the technician. She is the only part of my experience that deserves praise. She was quick to reply and knowledgable. My Jeep needed several repairs. One of which was that my airbag sensor continuously goes off. It was found to be an electrical issue tied to a recall. My vehicle was in for a few days and Mayda mentioned the possibility of a loaner car. I ended up getting my Jeep back in enough time that it was not needed. There seems to be a disconnect between each member of the team... [Communication Problem #1] One MONTH after receiving my Jeep back, I received multiple calls regarding a loaner car (finally?) available for me with no understanding that it was way past the point of being needed. I was given attitude by the woman regarding my delay in response. [Communication Problem #2] For a recall on my vehicle (which would repair the airbag sensor issue), a part needed to be ordered back in January. I finally received a call from Nicolette in March telling me the part was in. I called back only to get a computer system, which successfully scheduled an appointment for me. I brought my Jeep in the night before my appointment. I then received a call from Nicolette the morning of my appointment trying to schedule an appointment for me. When I told her an appointment was made and my vehicle was already there she seemed confused and claimed that perhaps more parts had just come in... [Communication Problem #3] That afternoon I received a call and text that my Jeep was ready to pick up. Before I even checked out multiple employees behind the desk were asking me to complete a survey about how the experience was... prior to me even seeing my vehicle (this was very off putting). I checked out and drove home. Before even making it back to my house the airbag sensor went off. *THE REASON MY JEEP WAS BEING REPAIRED!* To this day my vehicle still has the original problem of the airbag sensor going off. [Communication Problem #4] I am most frustrated with the fact that I have received feedback requests via email and text DAILY and when I reply with my feedback and displeasure regarding the service there is absolutely no follow up. "harlie@empirecdjr.engagemoreleads.us" emailed me asking how my service was on March 22. I guess I didn't reply in enough time because I received the same email again on March 23. I responded that the issue I came in for was not resolved and got an automatic reply 1 minute after my message sent. No response after that. I also received a text from "1 (833) 953-3617" asking for feedback, to which I responded, only to hear nothing back and then receive the same automated text message again the next day. (Screen shot included) I would never have chosen to bring my Jeep here had the issue not been a recall that would be repaired for free. However, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere for service as the work I was told would be done on my Jeep was not.

    I purchased a used 2020 Durango RT with my daughter and have had nothing but horrible experiences with them. They have dropped the ball every time since the sale. Spare key we were promised never handled for over 4 mos. They promised to replace the 4 tires and it took 4 mos. to get them. When they finally were replaced the directional type tires were mounted backwards on the drivers side. I had to have a tire dealer who knows what they are doing fix that screw up by dismounting remounting and rebalancing them. Now the transmission is slipping and they say that they will not have a loaner car available until NOVEMBER !! How is that possible? Shady from day 1 and I did not think they could get any worse than the were but they have. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

    My salesman Justin P. was terrific! He showed me a few trucks that were close to what I was looking for but not exactly the one. He wasn't pushy when I told him I'd think on it. I later saw the truck I bought on the Empire website as in transit. Justin got back to me quickly with the full info and a fair price. Easiest new car purchase I ever made. Sean in finance was equally helpful. I've seen all kinds at dealerships and Justin is at the top of the list (Sean too). They're both honest, professional gentlemen. I'm recommending him to anyone I hear is in the market. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another vehicle from the dealership. Thanks again for the top notch service and stress free buying experience.

    The folks at Empire CJDR were very easy to work with, very responsive and very helpful. The dealership was also very clean and they have tons of inventory (unlike some other dealers right now).

    LOTS OF SAME-DAY AND SAME-WEEK BOOKINGS!…read more PLENTY OF AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIANS!! I can usually secure an appointment within several days of booking, and there are many Saturday appointments available. I usually get Jonathan or Anthony as service advisors in The Atlantic Hyundai Service Department. Both are extremely knowledgeable and encourage me to use the Hyundai Atlantic app's digital coupons to decrease costs. Both men always text me their digital business card, and they call me with updates while my car is being serviced. They also provide free Lyft/Uber service to customers, like me, who live within the vicinity of the dealership. When I decline a ride home, I wait in either the Hyundai Atlantic waiting area or the Toyota one. Both are comfortable and spacious. My vehicle is usually serviced quick! I am in and out 1-2-3. The advisors and technicians definitely know what they are doing. I highly recommend!

My…read moreservice advisor Anthony is, and I will try not to be rude, but just the worst in communication. I would go weeks at a time without hearing anything about the car. They claim I blocked their number, I checked and that the numbers he said they call from did not appear on the list of spam numbers I'd blocked. In early July Anthony via email tells me basically if I want my car I can just take it even though he knows it needs fixing. He apologized for his terrible communication at this point. Two more weeks go by at least and I finally hear back from him 7/30 when he says I should have my car back at the end of next week. I had other concerns, not major ones, but they were addressed when I was there when the car was towed. I ask abut these in a reply. To date I have not heard back from him. Finally desperately I try to locate the email for their service manager which turns out to be just a feedback form. I complete it, and immediately I get a call, odd since I allegedly blocked their number. This was a sales call who was nice enough to give me the actual email of the service manager. I reach out to him who apologized for the lack of communication and tells me he'll give me an update that day. The next day, after they have closed, do I finally get the update that I can pick my car up tomorrow. This will have been exactly 2 months since it was towed in. I still dont know if the inspection that was needed will be completed or if the apple car play issue I told them about was addressed. This is after a previous service manager lost my key the last time it was there, and put the onus on me to reach out to them to see if they had found it. he's not there anymore and im sure I'm out of that key. I truly truly regret buying a car from this dealership and wish I could turn back time and avoid this place.

Our salesman Paul was helpful and straightforward with us. He and one of the managers did everything they could to get us to take the car home that day, which wasn't entirely a bad thing. However the stress began when it came time to sign papers. It was the end of the day and everyone was ready to go home, including us. We wanted to take our time and thoroughly review all of the paperwork. The numbers weren't making sense to us or adding up. Finally they claimed they must've made a mistake and "accidentally" entered a fee twice. This fee was around $2,000 so that was quite a mistake! This seemed very shady so we were ready to walk away, but in the end we decided to go through with it since it seemed like everything worked out in our favor. In conclusion, we did experience some unnecessary stress and they may or may not have been trying to pull a fast one on us, but we love the car and liked the salesman we dealt with.
