This dealership, like many, is a blend. The short of it, is that that service department is great and by Yelp standards I'd say a four star experience. Now, if you are looking to buy a car, this is the last place I would recommend.
The good: Their service department is knowledgeable, and takes care of the vehicles that come into their control. I drive a vehicle that is known for being abused and being a toy for people who get their hands on it. The service department has always treated with care like it is their own. They've also honored the price quoted when they have given the wrong price. They quoted me $45 for an oil change, when oil changes (for my vehicle) are $100+. I also had a weird request for them to run an option on their GM software which is completely normal and above board, but not something that is often done. As they weren't familiar with it, they respectfully tried to prepare me for denial. Their technician reviewed my paperwork, and their system, and when they realized it was all above board, they completed. And they charged me appropriately! The service department has more than earned my business.
But then we flip to the dealer services. Avoid. My wife and I are in the market for a four wheel drive SUV that is reliable and fuel efficient, while being mindful of price. As I'm not one to jump to a big decision, even though we looked at GM last year, I wanted to checkout the lot and see if they had anything new that was comparable to the market (they don't). The first salesman was new to the dealership and completely honest. He told me about the best options for my situation, what they had, their deals running on what I don't want, and gave me a great experience. He was new. Before I left, he wanted me to talk to his manager, Nick. This is common in dealerships. If a salesman can't close a sale, dealerships often expect them to get a manager to talk to the customer.
So I get Nick. Nick was great with the numbers that benefited him, but terrible with the numbers that didn't. Even when I broke out my calculator and went through the BS he was spewing, he argued that it wasn't a big deal and it is silly to buy anything else. His focus was on a monthly payment, and not on my needs and wants. I get that GMs basic vehicles aren't the most competitive in quality, reliability, and features by price, but trying to convince my that a 25 MPG front wheel drive Buick is a better choice than the 40 MPG four wheel drive Toyota when the Buick is less reliable, and has less options while COSTING MORE is insulting to my intelligence, and speaks poorly to him. His assumption that I would make an impulse purchase under pressure resulted in him simply avoiding his dealership next time we want to even think about a GM product. read more
