May 2017 I stopped at Cooper Chevrolet Shawnee, Oklahoma, parts department, and purchased two new wiper blades for my 2014 Silverado, the individual who worked in the parts department took the new blades, walked outside to where my truck was parked and replaced the wiper blades for me. During a trip in July to the East Coast, I was driving eastbound on Interstate 40 through Arkansas, when it started raining very hard; I had the wipers on hi so I could see. The wiper blade on the passenger side came off, I was unable to stop at that moment due to traffic and the inability to safety move onto the shoulder, so I continued driving to the next off-ramp and of course, I had my wipers on during this time. With no blade attached to the passenger side wiper arm, the wiper arm scratched my windshield. I taped a rag to the wiper arm to prevent any further damage to my windshield. It was now late in the evening and I was unable to find a GM dealership or a parts store that could provide me the correct wiper blade, therefore, I continued with my trip until the next morning when I stopped at a GM dealership [Beaty Chevrolet] in Knoxville Tennessee. Beaty sold to me a [part number 23417074] wiper blade that fit my vehicle.
Not long after returning to Oklahoma I visited Joe Cooper Chevrolet store in Shawnee and spoke with Daniel Haithcock about the wiper blades and my problem, Mr. Haithcock spoke with the individual who had initially sold me the incorrect wiper blades. The individual [I believe his name is Robert Hackler] from the parts department, said "when he looked up wiper blades for my vehicle it showed part no. 19337222". Beaty Chevrolet Knoxville Tennessee, parts department looked up wiper blades for my 2014 Silverado and provided me with part number 23417074 not 19337222. Joe Cooper parts department did change out the incorrect wiper blade with the correct parts number. My problem now is my windshield is damage due to the Joe Cooper Chevrolet Shawnee put the incorrect part number on my vehicle that in turn damage to my vehicle. No one at Joe Cooper auto group wants to discuss repairing or replacing my windshield. I spoke via telephone with a gentleman by the name of Richard Seals who identified himself as part of Joe Cooper senior management, I tried to explain my problem and Mr. Seals seemed to be annoyed with my telephone call, and very quickly said he had a another call he needed to take and would return my call as soon as he finished with the other call. It has been over a week and I have yet to receive a call back from Mr. Seals.
This is not the first time I experienced problems with Joe Cooper Chevrolet service department, but it is my last time. I tried to support the local dealership, however, my vehicle is very important to me; therefore, I shall drive the distance to Oklahoma City to have my vehicle serviced with a GM store I can trust. read more
