    Selling my car on Carvana was a much easier process than I anticipated. I was happy with the…read moreprice, docusign process was simple, and setting up pick up was a breeze. Pick up driver called within 30 minutes of arrival, and picked up my vehicle within the first 30 minutes of a three hour pick up window. Even better, once he arrived, he was in and out within 15 minutes. 10 minutes later, received confirmation e-mail of pick up, and $ was deposited within 24 hours.

The entire purchasing experience was stressful and frustrating. Just when I thought we were finally finished with Carvana, another major issue arose. Two full weeks after I dropped off my trade-in and picked up my new vehicle, my credit union informed me that Carvana failed to pay off my credit union loan within the required 10-day payoff window. As a result, my account is now past due on a vehicle that has been in Carvana's possession for over 14 days. To make matters worse, my new loan funded Carvana more than three weeks ago. Throughout this ordeal, Carvana's customer advocates largely added to the stress rather than resolving issues or clearly explaining next steps. Problems went unresolved and communication was consistently poor. I would not recommend Carvana to anyone. The Carvana process is fundamentally broken.

    I'm writing a complete and honest review. If any employee gives you attitude, BEWARE--they might…read moresabotage your car. I came in thinking I had a connection issue. My Corvette sometimes wouldn't start, and I had just had an engine replaced in August. It turned out to be something as simple as the car being a manual transmission with a neutral lock--something no one at Edwards Chevrolet could tell me. This leads me to believe not only are the service clerks (Luci was a great clerk) unexperienced, but the technicians must not be very knowledgeable either. The service clerk Brooks literally told me over the phone, before he acted like a grown man, that no one wants to work on my car. I immediately replied, "Well then let me speak to a manager so I can figure out why." He then changed his attitude and started being professional all of a sudden. That made me suspicious. I told two managers at Edwards Chevrolet that their employee spoke to a customer in that way, and they didn't seem the slightest bit surprised. (Marty Phillips and a Mr. Short.) Manager Mr. Short at Edwards Chevrolet said there were cameras positioned at every bay and he would follow up with me to ensure there was no foul play with my vehicle on 10/16. Since then he's ignored my calls and texts. Marty Phillips didn't even care to investigate. He started mentioning how long everyone had worked there, as if that would prove I'm lying. After reviewing their work on October 16, I found three faults: Drained oil A hose that was detached and not placed back A connector disconnected from my starter I am a 27-year-old United States Army veteran, and I think this business is TRASH. No communication. No accountability. No integrity. I'm ashamed that an American business like Chevrolet is attached to Edwards. Very emotionally charged staff. Very unprofessional. Don't trust this dealership.

    In 2020, I purchased a brand new 2020 Chevy Blazer (Silver) and had an excellent experience. Fast…read moreforward to 2026, that vehicle was totaled due to a system issue that caused me to crash into another vehicle. On February 6, 2026, I purchased a used 2022 Chevy Blazer Redline Edition (Black). After having the vehicle for just over a month, the radio and display screen stopped working, and the car completely died, which also caused the key fob to stop functioning. When we attempted to use the physical key inside the fob, we discovered it was not the correct key for the door. After several days of communication with the dealership, the vehicle was finally towed to the service department. The car remained there for almost a week, and after multiple follow‑ups from me, I was finally given a diagnosis. Due to extenuating circumstances, I was unable to purchase the extended warranty, so I understood that the financial responsibility would fall on me. I approved the repair, which totaled $1,085. Today, when I followed up on the status of the vehicle--having now been without a car for a week and a half--I was informed that although the original diagnosis had been repaired and the radio was functioning, the display screen was still not working. I was told this would require an additional $621. This entire experience has been extremely frustrating. I am deeply concerned about how this vehicle passed inspection prior to being sold. I also question why the technician did not identify the issue with the display screen during the initial diagnosis, especially since it was directly related to the radio problem. Based on my experience, I would caution anyone purchasing a used vehicle from Edwards Chevrolet Downtown to secure a warranty immediately. Without one, the experience can be extremely costly and stressful. I am very disappointed, as I previously had a positive relationship with this dealership. I work hard for my money, and I value businesses that demonstrate loyalty, accountability, and integrity. Unfortunately, this situation has left me feeling dismissed and financially burdened due to issues that should have been identified and addressed before the vehicle was sold. Two weeks ago, I underwent major surgery and am currently on medical leave from work, so my finances are extremely limited. After being without a vehicle for a week and a half--and despite requesting a loaner--I was never provided one, nor did I receive a response regarding my request. As a result, I will now be picking up my vehicle in the same condition in which I brought it to the dealership: still not functioning properly. I am already out $1,085 for the initial repair, and I simply cannot afford the additional $621 that was quoted. When I dropped off my vehicle, I provided detailed information, along with photos and a video clearly showing the issues the car was experiencing. It appears that this information was disregarded. Instead, it feels as though only part of the problem was addressed, resulting in an incomplete diagnosis and additional costs. Furthermore, the issue regarding the physical key inside the key fob not fitting the door was never acknowledged or addressed. This has been a difficult lesson, and I will not be doing business with this dealership again. I understand that I am only one customer, and my decision not to do business with this dealership again will not impact them financially. However, I cannot continue to support any company that takes my hard‑earned money and leaves me feeling as though I have been taken advantage of or made to feel foolish and I feel like BOTH!
