I scheduled an 8:30 a.m. service appointment online and assumed my car would be serviced around that time. When I arrived, I was told there were several cars ahead of me and that they service vehicles on a first-come, first-served basis. I asked why I even had an appointment, and I was told by the service department they don't actually honor appointments -- the online system just "lets you schedule one." This was extremely frustrating and misleading. If appointments aren't real, they shouldn't offer them. I rearranged my morning for nothing and ended up waiting behind walk-ins. Very disappointing experience. read more

The service department is very poor on customer service. They provide almost no information on what is happening with your vehicle. They have a service update app that they provide, but in my 3 visits for oil changes, not once has anyone updated the app. They also give you a number to text with questions, but don't respond to text messages. Needless to say, I was very disappointed in the service I got today, Feb 26, 2026 read more

The sales experience was fantastic. Sales team was very professional and knowledgeable. Recommend this dealership to anyone who wants a new vehicle. read more

Do not I REPEAT do not buy a car from here. they pitch the life time warranty like it's a miracle but in reality it ruins your life. In order to keep your life time warranty you have to keep getting your oil changed by matt bowers service team. The matt bowers service team sucks! they do not care about you, they will have you sit up there for 3 hours they do not care. It's sad to say but walmart is so much faster then them. I asked what i can do about the wait and they told me to make an appointment for early morning. Well here i am at my appointment for 7:30, it's currently 9 and they still haven't even touched my car. I hate matt bowers and their service team. I will not be buying another car from them. I will not be trapped into sitting at the service department my whole day. read more

I want to first start off by giving a shout out to Morgan!! Morgan did a fantastic job at selling a Jeep Wrangler last night. What's so crazy about this is I wasn't even there, I was on the phone from the time her customer walked in. I won't tell who the customer is but she knows if she ever see this review. I heard her patience, along with her knowledge in the vehicle. She answered ANY question that was presented to her. She has pride in what she does and she damn good at it! She went over and beyond to make sure her customer had what she walked in for. At the end she was happy to have helped her customer get a Jeep that SHE wanted. Plus she wasn't pushy! Listen if I EVER want to buy a Jeep, Morgan is who I'm going too! Matt Bowers yall need to hold on to her because she's a gem. Morgan thank you! Morgan got the 5 stars! read more

I was not excited at all when I finally decided to go check out a dealership or even consider buying a brand new vehicle. BUT let me say from the second I started speaking with Mr Rodney I knew I was in good hands. Super knowledgeable and definitely knows how to sell a vehicle!! There was a hiccup or 2 in the buying process that had me worried but the GM Mr Steve also Mr Tony handled everything very professionally and made my first brand new vehicle purchase a breeze! read more

Matt Bowers Chevrolet Slidell - Car Dealers Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

0 stars should be an option for this place (Service department). I went in on a Saturday without an appointment, waited for 5 hours for an oil change and tire rotation. When they finished, my tires weren't rotated. They told me they didn't have a lift available for my truck, so they just didn't do it. Didnt notify me, didn't apologize. I asked why I had to wait 5 hours for an oil change and he said I should schedule an appointment so I wouldn't have to wait as long. fast forward to today, I scheduled an appointment, but when I arrived he tells me oil changes are first come first serve. 4 hours later I'm still waiting. If I change my oil myself or go somewhere else it voids the warranty. This place is awful every time here has been a terrible experience, I'm selling the truck so I don't have to deal with this place ever again. read more

Classic bait and switch. I'm a father of 3, and my wife is disabled (car accident). So I'm on a budget. I went to Matt bowers Slidell location because they had a Kia Rio I was interested in. It was the cheapest car on the lot, but again I'm on a TIGHT budget. My mom was with me incase I needed a little bit of money to close the deal. As soon as I get there the salesman immediately started trying to sell me something more expensive, that's the job I get it. I told him I really can't and he relented. When we went to go test drive the car, the salesman couldn't find it in the used car lot in back. We did find the car.....parked behind a dumpster... on the other side of the building.. The car started right up, NO PROBLEMS. The test drive went great, I liked the car, it was fuel efficient, ran well, and the AC blew cold. Exactly what I needed. We returned to the dealer ship and sign the paperwork, and all that jazz. It takes awhile, I understand. So I sit patiently waiting for an hour, I asked for a water 3 times and never received it, not important to the story, but I thought I'd mention it. The salesman started the car WITH NO PROBLEM, and drove it to the back to be "detailed". At this point I'm just waiting to swipe my card to pay and be handed my keys. 30 minutes later the salesman walked up and tells me that the car now "won't turn over" and HAPPENED to have keys for a Chevy Malibu, that I can "afford the payments for" and it was ONLY 12,000 more the the car I was attempting was buy. I told him I wasn't interested, he calls to sales manager over. He also tries to upsell me, when I refuse he tells me "ok let's close on this car, and we will call you when it's fixed" to which I respond "fix it and call me, I'll come buy it, I'm not buying a broken car." He told me "I can't put money into it if you don't buy it." Ok so let's follow that logic, if I don't buy it.... Are you gonna let it sit broken on the lot? No, you arent. At this point he starts pushing for the Malibu again, needless to say I was feed up and walked out. He followed me out and was demanding a reason as to why I was leaving, like it was apparent... I get into my van and my mother went to her car. I go to pull out of the parking lot and he is trying to stop my mother from getting into her car. I had to get out of my van and go over and tell her she can go as she's is to scared to stand up for herself, and he could see that he was gonna try to get her to buy a car FOR me. She got in her car. I told him he was shady and I'm not an idiot. He insinuated that I wasted THIER time. I'm the one that wasted 2 and 1/2 hours of my time after being at work all day. I will never go there again, I thought the Slidell location would be okay to go to. A few years ago at the Covington location once tricked my mother (she was up there by herself ) in to giving them her keys and would not give them back when she asked for them, because they wanted her to buy a new car. I had to leave work and DEMAND, loudly, that they return the keys. I understand Chevy is like a franchise, but I can't believe they allow people to represent the Chevy brand this way. read more

I traded in my 202 Honda odyssey on a 2021 ford expedition and while signing papers I was told that the transmission was having problems and that they would replace it with a brand new one mind you this was on February 16th 2025. They got the new transmission in but it was busted so they had to order another one. They finally gave me a loaner because I was out of a vehicle and I had to make do with what I got which wasn't ideal. Then the loaner they gave me wouldn't fit my family in it so it was still an inconvenience but I still made due. At least I got a loaner. While I was getting the loaner I had to go to the back and ask the mechanic how everything was going with my vehicle and he told me that they had to order another transmission because the one they received checked out bad. But the service department didn't let me know that. I had to call to find out any information. The mechanic told me that the new transmission would be in within 5 days. I waited for about a week and a half to call to find out what was going on with my vehicle and they told me that they were still waiting on the transmission to come it. Needless to say to say the transmission didn't come in for another month and then the transmission didn't come with a torque converter. So the service department calls me to tell me that they need to loaner back because the mileage is coming up on it and that they have me another. I asked if they had anything bigger because it doesn't fit my family and that I traded in a family vehicle on a bigger family vehicle and that the one they gave me will not fit my family. They informed me that the crew cad silverado was the biggest they had. So I told them if that is the biggest they have then I will have to take it. Everytime I called the service department they would tell me that it is either in the shop getting worked on or it will be getting worked on at the beginning of the week. So when I brought the loaner back they ended up giving me a double cab Silverado with no middle seat in the front so it definitely will not fit my family. They finally get the transmission and torque converter in and they told me that it was getting worked on at the beginning of the week and 2 weeks later they just got to it. I told the service manager that I have a vacation coming up in the next week and that I need my vehicle back fix and they informed me that they need to get another transmission for it so this will make transmission number 4. I feel like I'm getting the run around and that they are for some reason putting my vehicle to the side and forgetting about it. It has been 3 months and I still don't have a vehicle. I will not rate this because of the poor service I am receiving read more

Took all day to repair new Corvette tire that has leaked since the day I bought it new( verified by On Star diagnostic alert). They claimed a bolt was in the tire and was not covered under road hazard warranty. 2 days later same tire was still leaking and they said tire patches are not warrantied! What a low level of professionalism for a $90,000. car. I will never go back to this dealership. read more

i actually have never had a single issue with this location until today when i scheduled a service for an oil change for 2pm. i sat there for 2 1/2 hours. finally after patiently waiting for so long i decided to walk to the front desk to talk to an associate to see exactly the situation at hand with my vehicle only to find out my car had not even been touched. i was informed that there were multiple people in front of me and that it would be another 2 hour wait. i asked the associate if scheduling an appointment was even necessary to only be informed it's first come first served. once aware of the situation i asked if my car could be pulled from the lineup because i had other priorities to attend to only for the associate to bring my car around and leave it running outside with the keys inside. i notified the associate that it was extremely unprofessional to leave a customers car running with the keys inside for anyone to hop in and take. i do not recommend this location just based on the lack of professionalism and disorganization. read more

if I could give them 0 stars I would. i was up there for 30 mins not one person would stand to help or even greet me. I never been treated in such a unprofessional manner. I'll be sure make corporate aware of the inconvenience y'all have caused me. including running my credit and not being notified of the results. a white guy in a sandals come in y'all jump to kiss his feet. I walk in dressed for business ready to get this car y'all don't even acknowledge me. should have known Slidell don't change. read more

10/31/2021 BUYER BEWARE!!!!!! This is my experience I had with Matt Bowers Chevrolet, Slidell, La. On September 16, 2021. I went to this dealership mind you, I am 19 years old with no experience in buying a car. I went into this dealership and was met by salesman/lady Janel and Sam, which indeed saw a young person with no experience in car shopping and showed me the worst car on the lot, a 2010 Chevy Traverse with 195,000 miles and a ship load of mechanical issues. This is so sad to thrust upon me a car with so many issues knowing very well a person of my age and job couldn't afford to pay a $265.00 a month car note which will be over $11,000 when I finish paying for it and it probably has over $10,000 worth of work to be done. I contacted Janel to inform her that I was having problems with the car and she promised she was going to get me some help and till this day I have NOT heard nothing from them or her. Since the sale has been completed , they no longer give a care as to what happens to me in this death trap. I am 20 years old now struggling to pay for a useless car and now have to find a way to pay for the serious issues I am having with this car. I feel as though I was taken of from the moment I stepped into this dealership. What am I to do now? I can't trade it in cause it has too many miles on it, just got it, over priced for the most part I am what people tell me I'm upside down." i am contacting the BBB if this matter can't be resolved soon. Please if you're young, inexperienced and have no one to assist you with a car purchase please don't go to Matt Bowers Chevrolet in Slidell, La please. They also do not keep their promise. I continue to try to speak to a manager/supervisor but the front desk person keeps asking whose your salesperson and when you tell her she just connects you to them which they're no help at all just promise to call you back and NEVER do. Take it from me BEWARE OF THESE PEOPLE!!!! they don't have your best interest at heart unless you're wealthy and experienced in car purchasing, I learned a very hard lesson at the tender age of 19 years old!!!!! DON'T TRUST CAR SALES PEOPLE THEY ONLY WANT TO MAKE THE SALE TO HELL WITH ANY ISSUES THE CAR WILL CAUSE YOU!!!!! read more

Couldn't have been faster anywhere else! Best service I ever had at any dealer ship. Wesley cooper was a wonderful sales person with the help of billy and Steve I was in my car the next day. I would definitely go see them if your planning on buying a car soon. They work so great with you and help you finance your car with any kind of credit. Thanks so much everyone of you for helping me get my discovery I love it read more

Matt Bowers Chevrolet Slidell - Land Rover discovery sport - Car Dealers Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Completely lied about the service contract. Never ever doing business here caging, they stole thousands of dollars

Brought I car in for a oil change and had them troubleshoot my 3rd row seat problem. They said to troubleshoot my 3rd row seat was $ $ $170. I said that fine . Got a call a hour later saying it was going to be $580 more to troubleshoot the 3rd row seat . (Not the repair) I said no thanks . They still wanted to charge me the $170 even through they didn't troubleshoot the problem or find the problem. read more

I made an appointment and dropped my truck off a day early to have my navigation system and tailgate fixed. while there I also had them add a oil change. After being in the shop for 2 days I was informed that my truck was ready. When I went to pick it up the service writer took me out to verify the work that was done. He showed me the tailgate work by using the remote. The tailgate didn't work as I explained it was the button on the tailgate when I dropped it off. The service writer said he would go in and order that part and he would call me when it came in so I could bring my truck back in to be fixed . I wasn't very happy that I was told it was fixed but wasn't. THEN. I got in my truck and started it up. Before I left the service dept. I tried the navigation system and to my surprise it wasn't working either and had the same error message, so my navigation wasn't fixed as stated What a waste of 2 days. I informed the service writer via text to go ahead and cancel the part for my tailgate and I won't be coming back to Matt Bowers Chevrolet. To take your vehicle in for service warranty work and being told it was fixed when it wasn't is very disappointing. I did not feel like a valued customer at Matt Bowers service department. I'm going to another dealership for my service from now on. read more

My daughter and I agreed with a sale on a 48 month finance and x amount a month. The deal was done I coached on finance dept and left her to finish the deal. Short time later she calls me and they jacked the payment over course of loan $700 on a $5000 dollar car. I was going to pick her up and just keep looking by the time I got there they had her all fixed up giving her a temp tag. Get to a restaurant look at paper work and the jacked the payment terms 6 months and a rediculous interest rate to make it seem as though they had complied. They took advantage of my baby girl like car Dealers will. This place is a bunch of crooks, low down dirty. Salesman looked me and sales manager in the face when I asked him what we agreed on and nodded in a agreement. Douche bag sales manager calls police and has me trespassed. Stay far away from these people DIRTY! read more

I cannot thank Adam enough for the great customer service that he provided for my service call/car. I dropped off my car on 4/27/21 for various problems that I was having.When he called me regarding what the service personnel suggested I needed he went over the list and recommendations. It was at that point that I decided to go ahead with the repairs. He kept me updated as to the progress always with a positive manner. When I did pick up the car he and the service foreman went over all the repairs that they did which was appreciated. What I really like was that they laid it out in verbage that I could understand. I have NEVER had a bad experience at this dealership and highly recommend it. read more

I'd recommend this dealership to anyone wanting to buy a Chevrolet. I had issues with another Chevrolet dealer not wanting to work with me on price and ultimately the sale fell through. I called Matt Bowers up and told them everything, and told them down to the exact package what kind of Camaro I wanted. They had one sent in from Lafayette for me and I bought it the next day. It was hassle free. Their service department is also phenomenal. Shout outs to Patrick, Adam, and Andrew in service. They earn every penny they get and deserve more! I've never had a problem and they know me by name. We drive from Covington to have our cars serviced there. read more

Worst dealership I've ever been to in my life, customer service is horrible, I had to go inside to get help. The managers weren't even trying to help to even work with me read more

Horrendous customer service. I purchased wrap and GAP. Before I moved states away I tried to have my tires serviced, but when i called, they said they "didnt do that". A few months ago I tried contacting the salesman who had recently sent me an email saying he had taken over my account and to let him know if he needed anything. I wanted information on my wrap policy because I couldn't find the paperwork Again, several calls and emails later I never got a response. The next day I called the dealership a bunch of times between 5 and 8 and all of their lines were down. It was impossible to get through. My car was recently totaled as well. Dealing with their GAP company was easy and the customer service was great, but when it came time to contact the dealership and cancel my warranty? Surprise, no response to two voicemails and an email. Thankfully the policy holder was able to go over their head. Cancelling the warranty was the last thing I needed to do for my settlement to go through and God knows how long I would be waiting on them especially being several states away now. Good thing I wasn't interested in buying another car from them at this point anyway. Someone else will be getting the money from my next car purchase. If you do buy from here, DO NOT GET THE WARRANTY. It is like pulling teeth trying to reap any benefits from that contract. They're just interested in the money you can put in their pocket. read more

I was very impressed by the courtesy and professionalism that I was shown by the sales team and finance manager. I drove nearly two hours to see the vehicle and it was well worth the time spent. Billy and Steve were both extremely personable and transparent in our dealings. I was also appreciative of the assistance given in the deal by Eric, Jena, and Shawn. I would highly recommend this dealership and their team. read more

One of the best dealerships! Always looking for ways to help the community. Lucky to have him serving our area

I took my car to be serviced. Not only did the 5 day part wait turn into over 2 weeks, someone in the dealership is a thief. An old iPod was stolen from inside my armrest cord and all. I know I should have removed it before I left my car, but I expect better from the dealership. read more

few months back me and my fiancé came to buy a truck. for one they didn't tell us until AFTER my finance started finalizing all paper work the sketchy car fax report it had. as well as they said we could possibly get a better interest rate that following Monday because the company they needed to talk to was closed. come that monday we never heard back as well as they ran my credit twice for that interest rate instead of my fiancés. my name is no where on this truck the only reason they had my information was because we were seeing if it made a difference for me to co sign or not which it didn't so I did not. needless to say we got screwed over as well as I got to very huge hits on my credit and my fiancé stuck with this interest rate because they ran the wrong person what seems like on purpose. will never buy a car here again. read more

Just got off the phone with these POS. They informed me that they had left me a voicemail as to when they would be able to fix my car (Under warranty). 1) I have no voicemail set up on my phone. 2) They didn't even ask who the h3ll I was so how do they know that they called me?? This isn't the 1st issue I've had with these sad sad people. I'd rather drive to Hammond (45 minutes away) than go 7 miles up the road and deal with these clowns ever again. read more

Worst experience ever!!!!!! Do not EVER go to this dealership. Drove out to Slidell from metarie yesterday to get told the car was in the back getting work done on. Fine, made an appointment to come see the car the next day and when we get there someone was making a deal on the car because it's "first come first serve." Obviously appointments don't mean anything to them nor do their customers mean anything to them. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. read more

If I was able to give ZERO star horrible unprofessional people. Lazy. I wish I would have NEVER purchase a vehicle from them. GO elsewhere. When you are buying the car they treat you with respect. However after you sign the dotted line you are invisible. Terrible customer service. Unprofessional staff. read more

I am in Metairie, they are in Slidell. So when I inquired about the existence of a vehicle in their inventory, they assured me it was there (they called me THREE times that day to make sure I was coming AND emailed THREE times - spam much?), even when I was in my car on the way to the dealership (in the rain of course). I arrive and the car had JUST been sold. I highly doubt that they were sitting in the finance room, they just wanted to get me in the door of their dealership. They assured me they would call if anything changed, they didn't. 2 hours of driving later I will never contact them again. read more

Can't speak for the sales side, but the service side went above and beyond! My Duramax went in shut down mode, passing thru Slidell, got Towed-in on Sunday night, put me in front of line, picked me up at RV Park, drove off, Monday afternoon! TY Adam, and other service folks there!!!!! read more

I'll keep it simple... Just stay away from this place. The sales consultant was nice enough. Their sales proposal included add-ons for discounts I was not eligible for because I wasn't active military, an educator, and for refusing to finance thru GM (yes, all 3). My interaction ended with the sales manager coming in the room and wanting to know where I got my numbers from. He then told me that "cash is not king anymore". Well guess what...my cash went up a few miles to Mossy of Picayune and made an easy transaction for a 2018 Chevy Malibu. read more

I was given a discount on my oil change, but it took them 1.5 hours. Later in the week, I discovered that they had NOT rotated my tires or plugged my slow leak. I had to GO BACK! If it wasn't for my electronic tire pressure meter, I would have been driving UNsafely on a long road trip with my kids!!!! Very frustrating! I wonder how often they just skip the tire rotation, or other things you trust them to do! read more

I am honored to be first review. For starters the dealership recently changed its name from Levis to Matt Bowers. I was told by a salesman that many salesmen had stayed on board after the 'name change' from the last dealer, Levis. Although a few salesmen had quit. Anyhow, my experience wasn't the best. I didn't end of up purchasing because the salesmen wouldn't give me a solid price. Or I should say it took forever for him to do so. I was told before even being told the price that the GM/manager would want a $2k deposit down before ordering the vehicle. In addition, I was spoken to at one point as if I didn't have the money. I felt offended by that. Definitely the dealership NOT for minorities to buy from. Car salesmen need to understand that is not ok O BS customers. Some of us do our research before stepping inside a dealership. I knew what i was entitled to and the salesman made a poor effort to meet my accomodations. More transparency is needed when working with dealers. read more

Although it was an unplanned expense on our roadtrip, we are thankful for their quick work to get us back on the road. read more
