-Tags: Had to wait until "Temp Tags" EXPIRED, and after I had sent a letter, before I was contacted by the dealership and I received plates in the mail. They blamed the salesperson, then blamed having wrong phone number. The dealership had my email address, why not use it. However, their parts department had no problem calling me, when I ordered over $600 of accessories before I picked up the vehicle.
-Oil: The day picked up vehicle: The oil-life meter was as 69%. Could not get a straight answer on whether it was done or not. It took two weeks parked at the dealership before the decision was made to change the oil. The salesperson stated, that service was complete, but oil-life meter showed a different story.
-Oil Leak: The first day back at dealership, it was driven a mile, check for leak and that was it. Waited another week, to even make a decision on changing oil, which should have been right the first time.
-Transmission: 172 point inspection stated "serviced" The amount of caked on mud and dirt, impossible for technician to complete service. Unless filter was not changed. Salesperson stated that Transmission was serviced, based on the underside of vehicle, nothing could have been removed with all the mud and dirt.
-Dirt: Had to crawl underneath vehicle because there was oil on the garage floor after the vehicle was parked for aweek. At that point, noticed the caked on mud and dirt under the vehicle. The dealership said that, they don't clean underneath. This is a 2500 Silverado HD, not too hard to look underneath. If a technician seen this mess underneath, something should have been said or done to correct it.
-172 Point Inspection: Oil serviced, Transmission serviced, cleanliness and check for leaks were all checked off. For the amount of dirt underneath, would have been extremely difficult to ensure there were no leaks. They were unsure about "oil change" due to oil meter not being reset, to two weeks to get that resolved. The Transmission Serviced" again, unsure if that was completed because filter was not removed. The 172point inspection was signed by (TWO) people, so I guess they both missed the items discussed in the review.
-DEF Fluid, the day of pick up: DEF was at 29% when I checked the DEF-Fluid meter. I can imagine if I had come from Raleigh to get this vehicle, I would have probably had to stop. You would think paying over $50k for a used vehicle, they can at least make sure the DEF fluid was topped off.
-Teachable moment (mentioned 2-3 times by General Manager): A "Teachable moment" should not be a burden to the customer, a "Teachable Moment" should not be an inconvenience to the customer, a "Teachable Moment" should not be additional stress for the customer.
-I Mentioned I may have found the issue for the oil leak, due to loose oil pan bolts. General Manager was going to send comment to service manager? Not sure how that helps the customer, especially when there is no response.
-General manager stated that "Owner was embarrassed", but (2) letters sent to the owner and only response was from "General Manager", I guess that is all the customer deserves. I took the time to draft letters, money to send letters, and received nothing from owner.
-None of the items listed should be a shock, "all" is documented in the letters sent to the dealership.
-Would I buy from the dealership again, No.
-Would I recommend this dealership to anyone, No! read more
