    Service Depart is horrible. Treat their customers with attitude and demeaning comments. (after asking if "their online" coupons were valid. HAD TO ARGUE TO GET THEM TO USE THE COUPONS!! Thought they fixed the attitude and I was told the screeching noise is normal for brakes as I was told I didnt need them. After the husband drove the car we took it to a different auto repair shop and the rear brakes had worn through the rotors. WILL NEVER USE THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGAIN!! UNTRUSTWORTHY, LIED, RUDE TO CUSTOMERS AND APPARENTLY DOES NEED THE BUSINESS!!!!!!

    I drove from Detroit to Michael Bates Chevrolet for a specific car that was in stock. My salesperson Michael Hinojosa was professional, had the car pulled and prepped and saved us money with some added discounts, like being a 2 Chevy household. Nick Payne was our finance manager and got us the best deal he could, interest rates suck right now, and was super helpful with answering our questions and making sure everything was correct. We were in and out with a beautiful new car in less than 2 hours. I was super happy with the service I received there from Michael and Nick and would recommend to anyone looking for a good deal on a Chevy.

Not to mention, the other guy was very very condescending to us, acting like he was nice but was very openly being a jerk to us about my price range and what i was looking for, telling me that I will never find a good car in my range which is funny because i've found a couple, i just wanted to check out their cars. We only came here to look at options and he could've gotten a finance deal out of me. Not anymore! Very, very rude people, -10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND. be a dick to me all you want but don't sit and silently make fun of my sick grandfather.

Oh and they tell you if you leave a google review they will send you a free oil change coupon. Ha another lie!

Was in a text conversation with Bryan, asked him the three questions I had already emailed twice to two other people. Temp plate? Total cash price with fees? Warranty? No warranty? With 2017 and only 8k? What if the engine blows on the way home to NY? We can add a 3mo/4k warranty for $399. Ok, all is good, sent drivers license pictures when he asked and was moving forward. Next day he says what's next? I said we are waiting on you! You tell me what's next. Send me the info, we wire the money. A bit later would you want to do a deposit; I have another sales guy working on selling the car? No. We will pay in full. Why bother with a deposit? He sends the info, we wire the money, and we sent him the confirmation so he knows it's solid, and a few hours later he says....bad news, the car sold to the other person. Like.....hello?? We sent you the full money! And the confirmation that it was sent! If you still didn't believe it, well then call the bank! Or if you need a "refundable deposit" then say so! He said, we will overnight a check back to you immediately. I called the next day to confirm that because we are trying to buy another car now and need that money. I called with a minimum of two business hours left that day, left two voicemails, one with each person in accounting and neither of them called me back on that business day, nor yet at 11 the next business day and we have not seen our money returned yet. Since it was the holiday in between, I don't expect the check to show up until today, but if it doesn't and they are not even courteous enough to call me and confirm my ,money transaction being sent back to me minute by minute and hour by hour like I did for them when I sent it, then they are exactly as my opening line says. Because they don't walk the talk that they require of myself, their supposed to be client, but....who would want to be their client or trust their integrity after the treatment they just gave me?

    Don't purchase any vehicle from here unless you want a car that won't last a week. It doesn't…read morematter the light they announce because the past 5 yrs, every vehicle I bought, green light or red. had a either a blown head gasket, blown engine, rod knock, died at the gas station when I turned it off to get gas or air in my tires, and then sat stranded because they had just jumped the vehicle to bring it up to me from the back. Never did I buy a *non runner* as they say they have listed but yet every car has been jumped to bring up to me. Knowing I'm getting a car from the auction I know I'm probably going to have to put a little money into the vehicle but not an engine. I didn't buy nonrunners. I've been there and done that to salvage what I had been stuck with. All that is coming through here is the cars from the dealers nearby that can't sell them on their lots. They rig them up, to get them there and take a picture and thats that. There should be some sort of verification process to what is listed. We as buyers like to have faith in the process and hope we at least make it home when we buy a runner. They have non runners listed with reasons to why and then they have cars sold as is for the same reasons that the non runners are. There is no difference in the actual state of the car, basically if it gets started and makes it to the front of the building then its a runner. Cars in the "as is" or red light sometimes are listed with conditions like ROD KNOCK or NO START or TRANMISSION ISSUE. This brings me to Feb 22, My fiancé won the bid on the 2003 Range Rover listed as red light, ((that was just bought on the 1st by another bidder because he didn't finish the purchase)). Jeff has personally assisted us with a similar situation in 2022 when the auction had listed a vehicle "on accident" as a green light and it turned out it wasn't supposed to be "green light" the new guy messed up they said. Well the car smoked so bad out the engine it took me 3 hours to make it home and I got pulled over on the way home it was so smokey. I had to keep pulling over to let it cool every 4 or 5 minutes. That time they took the vehicle back and returned my money. This time its another similar situation only there is no returning of despoit and I didn't leave the lot with this vehicle. Somethings didn't add up doing my own carfax on it and I reached out to Jeff and let him know. I asked him if he could have someone start it up and see if he thinks I will make it home, If I couldn't I wasn't towing it because I didn't purchase a non runner. I asked him to let me know before I wasted my time and he didn't respond to the question after 2x so I drove all the way up there to go just listen to the vehicle. Well what do you know. They brought the vehicle from the back with the hood open because they had to jump it and it seriously sounded like the piston was about to shoot right through the engine. It has clearly been in a flood ..the interior was a clear indication and when I looked up information on this vehicle the few sites leading back to the VIN were. cleanvin or salvage sites that it was listed it. Clearly this car hadn't been driven more then 2k miles in the past 5 yrs according the carfax and was passed around as far as they towed it. The dealer right around the corner made it with the car as far as he could to go sell it 2 mins down the road at GDAA, where they take no responsibility for what the car is listed as or what the owner/dealer lists about it. Esp, the dealers that bring in their garbage but dont disclose the car has a blown engine because GDAA just takes their word for it.. GDAA only supposably inspects the green light vehicles and all vehicles brought in by dealers are listed as red light, go figure. Since Covid and the auction moving, they haven't ran the cars through like they used to while we bid. At that time, we actually got to hear atleast what the car sounded like started. *Which most people can hear a ROD KNOCK or SEE SMOKE coming out of the hood or exhaust. If we wanted to buy junk, we would go to a junk yard.

My dealer has been Kevin & he has been great to me all these years. I'm not the easiest customer to deal with but he always finds a way to make me happy. This dealership is one of the better ones. I've tried going to other places & always end up back here. I can recommend plenty of employees as I have gotten to know them over the years. A few of my favorites are Drew, Adam, Larry, & Sam. They are always willing to help me if I have a problem or if Kevin isn't around. I thought the dynamics would change after Feldman bought them out & it did for awhile temporarily during the transition but now it still has that local family feel. Give them a chance. Don't believe everything you read. I will say I have had a few issues with service but it's always been resolved in a timely manner. Most of those issues were due to a manufacturing defect & in no way a reflection of the dealership. Even the ones that weren't do not reflect the dealership because of the manner it was handled. To the ones that are complaining about pricing, it's called inflation. It's everywhere. Sticker shock is real. Yes some APR's are crazy, minimize this by having better credit & refinance when the rates drop. Out of everywhere I have shopped, this dealership seems to have the better deal & best on hand stock. But don't take my word for it. Shop around & get educated on what you are buying. Or just head there & check them out.

The car started to sputter, jerking and reduce speed. I contacted Royal Hedges which is the son of the owner Dennis Hedges regarding the issue. He told me a several different things that it could possibly be may be a cold need to be clear it out something might be a clog something like that. I took it to a couple of mechanics to fix some small thing fixed. The lightning bolt still appeared. I still was experience the same issues he just was getting worse it started to star in shut off. When I was able to drive it which was not a lot because it sat more than I could drive it I had to pull over turn the car off sit for a while before I start it up hopefully the lightning bolt won't appear and it clears it out. I called several times Roy the sun who sold me the car was no longer working there. So I called often with my complaints to speak to the owner Dennis Hedges will relay a few messages to me through a third-party I went up there he was never there he's been avoiding all my phone calls you haven't return my phone calls. One of the last things that was told to me through a third-party was if you can get the car up here I'll see what I can do . I told him that I don't have money to tow the car and the Excelerator is just revving in a car will not drive at all. Next thing I know when I come home the car is gone. I called him and said oh I guess you guys got the car so my request to them is give me my money back or give me a car that actually runs. I also the whole time since December I didn't tell him what the problem was when I end up finding out that it was a harness issue computer issue. So I get a letter in the mail that he did repo the car and if I wanted to get my things back that I have to pay the remainder of the loan to have the car returned to me and if I had any questions give him a call. I've been calling him ever since going up there ever since he's been avoiding seeing me he's been avoiding my phone calls. They were items inside a car that I have my personal belongings and my license plate that was on the car I called and made mention of those things still have not received my personal belongings which I do believe even if he did get the car that my personal belongings supposed to be returned to me and he won't even talk to me or appear in person so I can even retrieve my items. So in conclusion I believe that their company is a rip off they don't try to work with their customers all they do is void it look like I only pay at look like I rented the car for four months for $1000 a month because they have $4000 of my money I have no car I don't have my personal items that was in the car and on the car and they won't even returning my phone calls or talk to me in person. So I will say I don't believe that they are a reputable company and that they are professional lol when it comes down to servicing their customers so I would not recommend them to anyone!!! PS I went past there recently and my car is in a lot to be sold. I spoke to a young lady that was there and dentist that had just the owner was not there of course and she told me that they put the car in the shop and he's been in there for months that they had it was a computer issue and that they had to re-calibrate it so they spent a few thousand dollars to get it repaired. If that is the case I want my car back!!!!
