Diana J.

I had a great experience working with Cesar Godinez at this dealership! This was actually our second time working with him. He recently helped my significant other, get his truck about two months ago, and because of that experience, I knew I wanted to work with Cesar again. This was my first time buying a car, so I had a lot of questions and wanted to make sure I was making the right decision. Cesar was patient, honest, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. He took the time to explain everything clearly, worked with us to find the best option, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident with my purchase. Buying a car can be stressful, but Cesar made the process smooth and straightforward. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy, I highly recommend asking for Cesar Godinez. We'll definitely be back in the future!

This was a rep from Putnam reaching out to say call his boss. When I called they said they would refund me for the battery, that was 10/25.

I would like to update my review and add that they did contact me on October 25th to call the manager Khan because they said they would refund me for the battery. They asked me to show proof that the battery was purchased then when I did they ignored my messages. I showed the payment coming out of my account and a receipt. Since then my daughter has had an oil change and they company she went to showed her a report of all the things that had not been done to the car. We are now going to pay $200 for the transmission fluid to be flushed and and an extra $27 for an air filter. All the items that are highlighted in the picture Putnam said they took care of but didn't. Please be careful when purchasing from this dealership! Don't take their word for anything... I have attached all proof of communications. I am a single mom that purchased this car for my daughter, this was suppose to be a great experience. And instead we are continue to be told that they lied by multiple automotive shops. Also, check their reviews on carfax and Facebook!

We purchased a Chevy Silverado recently and was helped by Willie Jurado who was incredibly friendly and helpful. We were also helped by Raj. They both made the experience fun and welcoming!

From start to finish I couldn't be happier with everyone at Putnam Chevrolet! The staff there do not pressure you into anything. They are kind and considerate and treat you like human beings rather than prey like other establishments. I was very comfortable working with them in making my decision on what vehicle to purchase. I knew what I was looking for, but they were very helpful and patient as I aggressively explored all my options. The entire staff were very helpful and diligent in helping us in every way to make the experience seamless. There are no words that can express how much of a joy and pleasant experience we had dealing with our sales consultant Willie Jurado. As I stated earlier, there was never any pressure, and he made the experience feel as if we were dealing with family, not a dealership. He went above and beyond to help us, providing us with consistent communication pertaining to final preparation of my new Chevrolet Colorado Z71 and going as far as personally overseeing that every detail was perfect. With that said, if you are looking for a Chevrolet go see Willie Jurado. Thank you, we are proud to say that we are now part of the Putnam Chevrolet family. Regard, Edward O'Connor

My husband and I came in the check out a new Silverado. We were met by Noe Sanchez right when we walked onto the lot. The truck we were thinking about was "in transit" so Noe showed us the same truck on the lot in a different color. We were very interested. Noe kept in great contact with us as it was about to arrive. Once it arrived he sent us pictures of it as we were on vacation. 2 days later when we arrived home we headed right to the dealership. Noe was fantastic to work with. No pressure, no negotiating back and forth on our trade in. We were in and out in under 3 hours with our new truck. Then in finance we dealt with Raj Balakrishnan. He too was so easy and personable to work with. I'd definitely deal with both of them again while buying a new car!

I'm writing this review due to a specific encounter I had with Jared and Ohana at the Millbrae location. My uncle had purchased 4 wheels and tires From them a few months ago. Shortly after that he got a nail in his tire and had it dealt with elsewhere. Somehow one of the required hub centering rings got misplaced and he started having highway vibrations. He ended up going to another shop to deal with the vibrations they charged him a small fortune to rotate , balance and align the vehicle. During all of the "work" this other shop did. They removed the other 3 centering rings and never bothered to install them. Instead they half ass centered the wheels and over torqued the crap out of all the lug nuts to compensate for their stupidity. My uncle is a very kind and patient man and after paying to "fix" his vibration and having it vibrate and shake even worse afterwards. Instead of going back to raise a fuss. He asked me to inspect the vehicle. I immediately found 4 missing center rings and one wheel destroyed by being forced on crooked due to missing centering rings. At this point I was livid. I called the "shop" that took his money , lost his rings and ruined a wheel. They asked me to hold for 23 minutes then told me. "The tech is pretty sure he installed the rings. But he's not sure they'll still be there ...." Ok that's the stupidest thing I've ever really heard. Realizing that they were a dead end. I instead called America's Tire and got Jared. Jared listened to me kind of frustratedly explain that I needed a new wheel and 4 rings. He was kind , knowledgeable and efficient. He put me on hold for like 3 minutes confirmed he had the rings and a new wheel and he facilitated my being able to pick em up on my lunch break. On my lunch break I met Ohana who was also kind , knowledgeable and professional. She helped me get my parts and skidaddle in a very efficient way. Given that the so called "shop" that caused all the mess is the Firestone across the street from them. I'll say this. America's Tire is leaps and bounds better and more human and knowledgeable than the folks across the street. They took the time to help me fix the issue and they actually cared. I've admonished my uncle to steer clear of Firestone and to only go to Americas tire as a result of these two distinctly different interactions. Jared. Ohana. Thanks for keeping it real and thanks for helping me take care of my family. Good on you !!

The same service woman who had helped me initially looked dumbfounded and said she will tell a technician to get right on it. It took another 45 minutes to get it done. I still tipped the technician but a lot of my time was wasted. Despite being free, I'd rather pay a local tire guy $35 to get it done in 15-20 minutes. On top of that, the repaired tire was overinflated. WTH. Never again. Waste of my time.

Disappointing Experience - Poor Customer Service and Lack of Professionalism…read more I brought my 2022 BMW 5 Series to Moe's Tires to have a single nail removed from one of my tires and to get the tire patched. What should have been a simple tire repair turned into a very disappointing experience. After inspecting my vehicle, an employee began pointing out additional issues and strongly insisted that I should have further repairs done, suggesting that leaving without addressing them would not be a good idea. I felt uncomfortable with the way these additional services were being pushed on me. It seemed as though the employee assumed I would be willing to spend more money simply because I was driving a BMW. When I politely declined the additional services and explained that I wanted some time to consider my options, the employee's attitude changed noticeably. The customer service became cold and unfriendly. What concerned me the most was what happened when I went to pick up my vehicle. After being told that my car was ready, I discovered that the tire pressure was still significantly low. The tire had not even been properly inflated before the vehicle was returned to me. As a customer, I expect a tire shop to prioritize safety, professionalism, and honest communication rather than making customers feel pressured into purchasing additional services. Based on my personal experience, I was not satisfied with the quality of service or the way I was treated. If you care about your vehicle and your safety, I strongly recommend being cautious when considering this shop. I wanted to share my experience so that other customers can make an informed decision before bringing their vehicles here.

I brought my 2016 BMW X6 in after dealing with issues that another shop couldn't properly resolve. Po helped me with my wheels, wheel alignment, and TPMS without any unnecessary upselling or games. He took the time to explain what was actually going on, what my options were, and why certain things should or shouldn't be done. That isn't being rude or talking over customers. That's someone with experience making sure the job is done correctly and protecting both the customer and his business. Reading through some of the negative reviews, I noticed a pattern. Many complaints seem to come from people who either didn't read the fine print on promotions like Groupon or walked in without doing any research on what they actually wanted. If you're unsure, call the shop. I called Po multiple times before coming in, and he answered my questions every time. One thing I respect is that Po won't blindly do work just because a customer asks. If something doesn't make sense or could cause problems, he'll explain why. That's exactly the kind of shop I want working on my car. A good technician doesn't just say "yes" to everything. They educate you and make sure expectations are clear before the work begins. My experience was straightforward, honest, and professional from start to finish. In fact, I'm already planning to bring my BMW back for additional work, including body kit installation and other upgrades. If you're looking for someone who knows what he's doing, values honesty over sales tactics, and takes pride in doing the job correctly, I highly recommend Po and his shop.

They're efficient, reliable, transparent and I have never had any issues with any work performed on any of the vehicles I have brought in. If for whatever reason they're not able to address or fix the problem, they will be completely honest and will even refer you to another trusted shop they're familiar with that could potentially fix it. They also have a price match guarantee on all their tires which is a plus! I stopped by late in the afternoon yesterday before closing time to order some tires for the next day as I knew they wouldn't have what I needed in stock. Kevin said they'd be in first thing in the morning so I placed my order and left. Forward to today, I dropped my car off at 11am for all new tires and even an oil change I needed. They said to give them a few hours as they were a little backed up, but that was expected because they're always busy plus it's a Friday. I decided to walk home to get my steps in and by the time I made the 45min walk home, Gerald (one of the shop owners) gave me a call and said everything was done already. Their prices are competitive and very reasonable with other shops, but what has me coming back time after time is that it's a local family business and as I mentioned before, they're very honest and take pride in the work they perform.
