Highly recommend doing business with this dealership.

Before I moved out of state in May, I took my Subaru to First Team Subaru in Suffolk to get an oil…read morechange and tire rotation before the road trip. One of the mechanics suggested that I get new front brake pads. He said I would have to pay around $1,200 out of pocket for it. I asked if it was safe to drive. He said yes, but suggested I definitely get new front brake pads at my next oil change. This morning I went to a new Subaru dealership by my new house (I moved to New England). I explained about the front brake pads. The guy said, "Oh yeah, we'll check it out. If they need to be replaced, it will be at no charge to you because of your warranty." When I asked about the warranty, he said he could pull it up under my VIN. Anything brake related is covered by Subaru until 150,000 miles for my car. I told him that in Virginia, they informed me that I would have to pay out of pocket and didn't say anything about a warranty. He looked genuinely confused that they would make me pay. I wasn't confused. I suspected First Team was being shady about certain things. This just confirmed it. And I'm glad I waited until I got up here to get everything replaced. They had to replace the front brake pads and front rotors which was $1,600, but all covered under my warranty. If you drive a Subaru and go to First Team, make sure you're paying extra attention to your warranty.

I brought a car here in February. It had 57k miles on it, it looked good coming out the lot... till…read moreIt wasn't . After 2 weeks my car started showing the engine light. I didn't think much of it but my fiancé told me to get it checked out. I never did till it got really bad. One day I'm going on a lil trip with my car & my 2 yr old son was with me. So I'm on the interstate & my engine light just starts flashing & it wouldn't go no faster than 57 miles. I had to pull over on the interstate & turn on my hazard lights. I had to drive an hour & some minutes back home only going 57 miles on the interstate just so they could tow my car from home. Mind you, the day after they "claimed" they fixed it my car did the same exact thing not even 24hrs of me having it. Recently my car stopped on a stop light because it was over heated & smoking. Now you may be thinking "what could cause that" well my c-h cooling ruptured all over my engine so i didn't have any cooling on a 81 degree hot day. Now they're saying I'll have to get a whole new engine & this is only the second month I've had the car. The worst part about it all is, i don't even want the car anymore it's putting me into financial stress. It's been in the shop more times than I've driven it.

I bought a used truck from Austin on Saturday April 4th. When I purchased it had a key issue and…read moreAustin gave me an IOU to get it fixed on Tuesday April 7th. We brought it on Tuesday and their key guy said it's an issue with the truck. Duke Chevrolet told me they would bring it over to Toyota to sort out the issues that day. They didn't bring it until the following day Wednesday April 8th. It is now Thursday April 9th and Toyota wasn't able to fix the issue. We bought this Truck because we had a trip out of town on Friday April 10th and we needed the truck. My wife went in to sort out the issue and see what they could do for us. Grace stated the vehicle should have never hit the lot with this issue. Danny their service manager said it had never hit the lot and Austin had pulled it out to sell. My wife went to their Sales Manager Mike with this information to see if they could possibly give us a rental so we could make the trip tomorrow. Austin knew we had a trip out of town when I purchased this vehicle. Mike basically told us their is nothing they could do for us and while my wife was there (I was on speaker phone so I heard all this) he told us that he also has a trip tomorrow so he's got to get moving and when my wife retorted with "yeah but you have a reliable vehicle" he waved his hand at her and said "I'm not going there with you." My wife was not being rude she was just stating a fact. Mike is a horrible Sales Manager and in my opinion should be fired for disrespecting a customer that didn't even raise her voice and waving her off like it's the 16th century. I was unable to be there due to work. When I asked over my wife's speaker phone what the return policy was Mike stated "4 days, 200 miles" which both have probably passed seeing as I got to drive it for a whole 60 miles before turning it back into them on Tuesday and they drove the rest of it. They stated they will fix the issue, but the fact that Mike disrespected my wife, the fact that Grace (I am assuming her position is high up in sales) stated this truck should have never hit the lot, and the fact that Danny stated it should have never been pulled from Service and there is absolutely nothing Duke Automotive can do about the inconvenience of this issue (other than get it fixed whenever they can I guess) has put a bad taste in my mouth for Duke Chevrolet Automotive. Hopefully this gets seen my Eley Duke, because at this point I am screwed out of this trip unless we get a rental on our own dime, because of multiple screw ups from this supposedly good dealership. While I was typing this Mike called me back and told me Eley Duke would pay up to $250 for a rental vehicle. So I guess there's that, but when I asked Mike if he raised his hand and shooed my wife away he stated he did not, however I do not believe him because I heard his statement "I'm not going there with you" right before my wife said "I just got dismissed." For a first time doing business with Duke Chevrolet Automotive, all I have to say is this has not been a pleasant one. Thank you Eley for offering 250 towards a rental, and thank you Danny and Grace for treating my wife with respect. I'd even say Austin was pleasant to work with, but Mike, I heard your tone over the phone and shame on you for shooing away a customer when they are asking for help. Can't wait to drive my new to me Tacoma whenever that will be.

Long-time customer of their Yorktown location, glad to see they're on Southside now…read more My family has been going to their Yorktown location for years, and have had great service on all of our German cars, including a vintage Porsche 944, a BMW E39 528i, a BMW Z3, and a 2002 Mercedes SLK 230 (which was actually purchased from Auto Haus). My brother since then purchased his car (Toyota Camry) from Chai Douanglee, and couldn't have been happier with the transaction. That was nearly 2 years ago, and the car has performed flawlessly since then. I've always been happy with their service, recently getting a leak in the SLK 230's transmission fixed ath the Va Beach Location. It was cheaper than I expected, and they had me in-and-out in about 80 minutes, getting started right at the scheduled drop-off time. They offered to shuttle me elsewhere if I needed it, but I opted to just wait there in their comfortable waiting room, and catch up on some paperwork. Joey, the service tech, was incredible polite both over-the-phone, and in person, and the service tech (who's name I forget now, but will update later), was also very polite and answered all the questions I had about the car's maintenance, and the service performed.

I deal and have dealt with every kind of automobile and seen many issues. I reached out to MBH to do a prepurchase inspection (PPI) of a classic Mercedes convertible I was taking in trade against a new Porsche. I needed to ensure that the car needed little and would reach the valuation necessary for the trade. My email on Tuesday evening was responded to immediately by phone call on Wednesday morning and they squeezed in the prepurchase inspection. They followed up quickly with their driving impressions, and mechanical recommendations. Their pricing was very fair, their professionalism excellent, and their due dilligence well worth the cost of the PPI. Highly recommended!

Tim and Matt were fantastic to work with and both were very honest with us. We had what we thought was a great deal on a car we really liked. Unfortunately, the car had a small issue after we finalized the purchase. We were uncomfortable and the attitude of the team was they didn't want us to feel that way and would do what was needed to make us comfortable with the purchase. We were given our money back with a promise to contact us once it was fixed and honor the original terms. Although we moved on from that car, if I see something again at McGuire and Sons, I would not hesitate to work with them again.

I really hate having to leave negative reviews. I always try to give the benefit of the doubt…read more However, this has unfortunately been the worst car buying experience I've ever had, by far. And I've bought numerous cars over the years. Buckle up, it's a somewhat long story, but I have to share it. I bought a used 2021 Toyota Corolla from these guys recently, and made my mistake of not test driving it first, and trusted their word, and trusted that a Toyota Corolla is a reliable car to purchase. When I received the car, I didn't even make it out of my neighborhood before noticing it grinding gears when downshifting into 2nd and it didn't want to stay in that gear. Coming from a previous car with endless issues, my heart sank. I called the dealership and the manager (John, I think?) dismissed everything I said and hung up on me. I called Moose again and he gave me the owner Tim's number. Tim was more responsive and understanding and they sent someone to come pickup the car, who also confirmed the issue. Since it was under their 3000mile warranty they decided to put another transmission in it. He claimed it was a new transmission. He offered to put a new clutch in it also, as long as I paid for the parts, which I agreed to at the time, but his "transmission guy said the clutch is fine," so they opted not to. Now, here I am less than 10k miles later, and the clutch has failed. The trusted mechanic I took the car to also told me that they installed a "junkyard transmission." I respectfully and politely called Tim to get some answers and see what they would do about it, and he still claims it's a new transmission, and that he would talk to his transmission guy again, but hasn't sent me any proof of that, and has now stopped answering phone calls and hasn't returned any calls. I do not have and would've never expected to put $3000 into repairs of a car that I just purchased. A 2021 Toyota Corolla with transmission AND clutch failure within 10k miles seems like something an experienced car dealership and "transmission guy" should've been able to catch before it got to my hands. I bought this car for the sole purpose of having a reliable vehicle for my family, and it's been a nightmare since day one. I was (and still am) only hoping they would do the right thing and handle this issue. Incredibly disappointed.
