I don't usually leave reviews, and I honestly hate that I even have to write this. I simply want…read moreother customers to be aware of my experience.
First, the good: my buying experience was excellent. I purchased a brand-new 2026 Chevrolet Silverado, and the sales team I worked with was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the purchase process enjoyable.
Now for the disappointing part.
I had the choice between a black Silverado (which I preferred) and a white Silverado with the Waldoch package. Since I wanted the black truck, I was asked if I liked the interior, wheels, running boards, and blacked-out package on the white truck. I said yes, and it was agreed that I would purchase the black truck and those features--or in the case of the wheels, similar wheels of my choosing, which I specifically asked about before signing the loan documents--would be installed on my truck.
Based on that agreement, my wife and I signed the paperwork and completed the purchase.
Two days later, I was given a rental while my truck was taken to have the upgrades completed. About a week later, I got my truck back, and I loved the overall look. Unfortunately, several parts of the agreement were never fulfilled:
* I was never given the opportunity to choose my wheels.
* My original factory wheels and tires were never returned to me.
* The interior was never upgraded.
* The blacked-out paint began chipping within a month, requiring another trip back to have it redone.
I reached out multiple times for answers and even spoke with the service department during oil changes. To their credit, the service staff genuinely tried to help and seemed just as frustrated as I was that I wasn't getting clear answers. Eventually, I decided to accept the situation because I'm not someone who enjoys complaining, and the entire experience made me uncomfortable.
Later, I discovered that the tires rubbed when turning. I decided I would pay out of pocket to install a lift kit, since I no longer wanted to rely on the dealership to resolve issues related to the modifications. My only question was simple: What type of lift kit can I purchase that will not void my warranty?
Over the past eight months, I've stopped in at least five times and made countless phone calls trying to get that answer. Unfortunately, I still haven't received one.
This was my first brand-new truck, and spending over $60,000 should have been an exciting experience. Instead, it's disappointing to be making payments on a vehicle that isn't what I agreed to purchase because the commitments made during the sale weren't fully honored.
I intentionally chose not to mention any employees by name because I don't know what happened behind the scenes. It may have been completely outside of the salesperson's control, and I never want to jeopardize someone's livelihood. My goal isn't to attack anyone personally--it's simply to share my experience so others understand what happened and hopefully encourage better follow-through on commitments made to customers.
