The staff are friendly and most all around with a smile on their face. Today's service didn't go as planned. And the vehicle did end up with a scratch. But all in all everything was good.

Parts Rep at the counter: not knowledgeable, not helpful, not friendly. I actually had to bring a…read moreparts list and diagram from another store, and Parts Rep had no idea what he was looking at, had to explain myself several times. Paying for it was awkward bc no pos register at the counter and Parts Rep didn't have an invoice. I was supposed to trust him when he walked into the back (out of view) to run my card. Classic set up for a scam artist. I'm still holding my breath. This was my first time in this outlet. Parts department not clearly marked from the outside. No directions even on the inside. I will never return and if I thought about buying a vehicle there, well, this experience sealed it for me. Will never return for anything there.

The Chevy dealership recommended them bc they didnt work on foreign diesel cars. So this shop took us right in and started investigating how to fix my problem quickly. They located a part for me which was a problem all in itself, got it ordered and installed. They offered me a loaner car so I wasn't stuck at the shop all day and gave me a recommendation of where we could go to relax for a while. Just great service! Only one down side was that in the rush to get a stranded mom out of there (I begged to get this done asap) something happened to my oil level sensor. They had thought that it was possibly wet and it would stop giving me a problem but unfortunately while I was at my final destination it just completely stopped reading my levels. They had told me that I had an oil leak so that caused a concern for me to drive the vehicle bk home with no sensor to read the oil. They offered for me to stop on the way back but I would have been passing through after they closed on a Sat. So I had to have it fixed at a location where I was. Armando's hourly rate was quite high but I really didn't have much of a choice and I was assured I was in good hands so that made it sting a bit less. But when I had to get that sensor fixed because the clip got messed up during the alternator fix it was definitely frustrating. I do wish they would have looked at it better before I left but they had done so much for me already and it was past closing time he said. All in all I would go to them again. They were extremely kind, knowledgeable and empathetic. I'm sure if I wasn't stranded and they had more time I wouldn't have had a problem with the oil sensor. Just sucked having to pay to get that fixed also. I'm sure you will be happy with their service if you needed.

I have had issues with my new VW atlas from day one. Had to get the owner involved after 1 1/2…read moreyears of issues and he (Rick) was a complete asshole to work with. He was very degrading to me in emails, like he was doing me a favor with getting back to me to try and resolve the problems with my car by giving me $4,800 off a new car And not paying off what I owed on my current car. He said he did everything he could do, but my issues with the car haven't been fixed. All I wanted was to try and get into another car without transferring a lot negative equity due to this not being any fault of mine. Because of him I will never buy another car from him. The other staff at VW of Boardman have been amazing!

On Monday (today), I got a call from Kyle Whelan to let me know that he's vetoing the deal and will charge me an extra $5,000. I asked him very direct questions about his integrity. He specifically told me that he was not going to honor the word of his team and that it was a "miscommunication" (despite the original deal receiving manager approval and has Kyle's name on it). He admitted to calling neighboring dealerships to compare prices after we made the deal on Saturday and today he settled on $5k over. At the end of the call, I finally told him that I have no respect for the way he represented the store and Kyle said he didn't care.

I purchased a Subaru in 2018, with a full warranty that included oil changes from a dealer that I…read moremoved away from. It was too great a distance to travel for oil changes. I had visited other locations as well and never paid a dime for an oil change. Today, my Forrester was taken in for an oil change by my partner, and they said that they could not use my warranty because it "didn't include oil changes". I provided my warranty information (even though it's associated with my account and has always been) and they were prepared to process the oil change and charge me money, something that I am not required to pay under my warranty. I guess someone didn't want to do their due diligence and follow up with the other retailer or just didn't know how to do their job. Guess that's the unfortunate state of the workforce these days. It's unfortunate that this is the closest retailer to me, I'll now have to travel twice as far to the original retailer to get the service in the warranty I've purchased. Avoid.

The service person let me know that it would be two hours and the lunch hour before the repairs would be completed. I was surprised when he came back in just under 2 hours and said that the mechanic waited to take their lunch until my car was completed. I was amazed and the price was less than I would expect to pay elsewhere. I have always taken my cars for service here over the past 4 plus years I have lived here even though t is not the closest Chevy/GM dealer to me. It is because of service like this that I will continue to bring my vehicles back her to be serviced and they will get a nod for our next auto purchase.

In 2021, I was in a bad accident and unfortunately, my beloved 2008 Civic was totaled. With…read moremanufacturers shutting down during covid, it was rough finding a nice Honda with no accidents and a price that I could afford with the mileage I was looking for. I had a horrible experience with another dealership and started looking at other dealerships. That's where McElwain came into play! I was still pretty injured, so I couldn't come in until a few days later, but Tim made me feel at ease. He originally took my call about the Honda I saw online, and when I asked if it had a clean title, he not only texted me the answer, but a picture of the report. I planned on coming in the next day, but due to a change in plans, I was able to come that same day. He answered every text and informed me that he would tell me if the car had been sold, so we wouldn't drive up to find out then. He also let me know the policy on used cars due to how quickly they're moving right now- something that the guy at the other dealership never cared to do. As you can tell by now, I had a bitter taste in my mouth from my previous experience and expected every salesman to be the same. Tim was not. He went above and beyond, and every single person that we encountered was extremely friendly and eager to help. Tim was finishing up with another customer, so another guy pulled the car around. I didn't catch his name, but he was extremely friendly! Once Tim finished up, we took a test drive and all talked on the ride. Not once did I feel pressured into buying. Tim was so personable and laid back, and I got really good vibes from the business and atmosphere which made me purchase me awesome new Honda that day! He was straight forward with pricing and negotiation and it was such a painless process. Matt, the finance guy, was also super friendly and made the paperwork a breeze. He was so welcoming and never pressured me to purchase anything additional. I really appreciate that! For the first time in two weeks following my accident, I finally felt content. I miss my old civic like crazy, but I am so happy with how my experience went that I know I made the best choice by purchasing my car from McElwain. I drove away tonight no longer being afraid to drive and look forward to making great new memories in my new Honda.
