I was already wrestling with the idea of purchasing a new car, but my Hyundai Santa Fe drinks a lot…read moreof gas for me to justify keeping an SUV as a daily driver with current gas prices and the amount of driving I do as well as mileage I put on my vehicles during the school/work week. Having rented a VW Passat recently, I fell in love with VW quality, handling and overall value. After prequalifying with Capital One via Auto Navigator (3/19), I took a couple days to research and do a bit of online browsing and found myself at the certified pre-owned section of Jim Ellis Volkswagen. I settled on a few possible winners and headed up on Tuesday, 3/22. The drive from the city to Chamblee wasn't the shortest, but definitely worth it as I was able to make a same day purchase. I walked in expecting to be bombarded by sleazy car salesman, but I was actually approached by a very friendly and warm saleswoman by the name of Jessica Atkins. Not only did she take the time to walk me through the showroom, but she also sat me down to listen to my needs and preferred price range to come up with a few suitors. We looked at pre-owned models, but I quickly abandoned that plan after I looked at the options in the showroom and smelt the new car smell and got an idea of just how nice the newer VWs are. We test drove the Toas and a Jetta SE, which was my favorite! We also looked at a few other Jetta's (R-Line, SEL and another SE) and Toas models, but as I am hella indecisive, I knew the SE would be a perfect fit! I arrived around 3:30 and left by 6pm with my registration and keys in hand! Nelson in finance was also great as he was able to shop the loan for an interest rate well below what Capital One offered and for $0 down (if I so chose, but I wanted lower monthly payments so I opted to put money down). If you're looking for a new car, please consider Jim Ellis VW as I walked in extremely hesitant, but walked out with a HUGE SMILE!

What is JIM ELLIS CHEVROLET ATLANTA HIDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I scheduled an appointment for my 2025…read moreTraverse b/c it was overheating & idling rough. Upon arrival 4-1-2026, I spoke with several different service staff members who both lied by stating they were my scheduled service advisor. Then, I was passed along to another staff person, then another staff person, who then told me that I would be issued a loaner vehicle after I provide my driver's license and a copy of my auto insurance declarations page and a credit card, issued a loaner. Day 2, no call from Lauren Cusson service advisor. Day 3, I call Lauren, who states your vehicle is ready for pick up, no diagnostic test was performed, but a video inspection of the vehicle revealed the upper coolant hose leaking coolant, they replaced the hose because they had a new hose already in stock, they test drove the vehicle and now is ready for pick up. Keynote: (The vehicle is still under manufacturer warranty). On 4-3-26, I return to retrieve my vehicle, I was provided with a multi-point inspection report indicating that my engine oil condition was "OK". However, I later discovered that my vehicle was in fact about 600 miles over do for an oil change at the time of inspection and coolant hose repair service. This discrepancy is both concerning and unacceptable. To better understand the situation, I contacted Service manager Thomas Webb and requested an explanation. I was informed that I should have been notified that the vehicle would need attention soon". This response does not adequately address the core issue; the inspection report itself was inaccurate and failed to reflect the true condition of my vehicle, no diagnostic test was performed but they claim the coolant hose was leaking coolant and they had the part in stock and changed it which was causing the vehicle overheating, the complaint for rough idling was never address and still exists. A multi - point inspection and proper diagnostic testing is intended to provide customers with reliable and transparent information to make an informed maintenance decision. Provide incorrect or misleading information undermines trust and raises serious concerns about both the competence and honesty of the service process and service repairs. Because of the dishonesty and the circumstances, I experienced at Jim Ellis I formally requested both verbally and in writing a complete, itemized history of all maintenance, repairs, and warranty claims performed on my Traverse. Jim Ellis Chevrolet Atlanta, has refused to provide me with these documents. Service manager Thomas Webb called my cell phone and left a voice mail message stating that service advisor Lauren emailed me the requested documents this is COMPLETELY FALSE. I called Thomas back an informed that Lauren Cusson had not emailed me the requested documents as stated in his voice mail. Thomas stated, ok when she comes back to her desk I will have her email you the documents, it's only a few, I think you only had service here a few times". I never received the documents. As stated before "WHAT IS JIM ELLIS HIDING"? Release the files, Jim Ellis Chevrolet Atlanta. Release the files.

However, not long afterward, the exact same car--with the same VIN number--appeared for sale on his lot. The entire situation felt dishonest and misleading.

I have been coming to this one location for almost 10+ years and as a female, though i know there…read moreare instances my lack of knowledge has been taken advantage of, i also appreciate that my 2012 Infinity has not caused me any break-down issues while in their care. This is why the "upcharges" that i often pay, i don't mention or ask about. I rather pay the price of functionality than be stranded on the side of the road with a million drivers passing me by. Until, i was bamboozled to believe that what was need on my vehicle was a $5000+ purchase! YES!! For a 2012. But its ok. My only advise for women that come alone to the dealership, you have to expect that the warning that women are charged more is true, but before you break your bag for a purchase, make sure to get a 2nd opinion OR bring your knowledge. When I was charged and paid $5000+ and they didn't explain the situation had NOT been fixed, i decided that would be my last visit. I enjoyed my service tech rep, but since he is the one that gamed me on the service, I no-longer visit the location. All the other service members can stand to improve their customer service approaches, but that's of no consequence. People will be people. Yes, the service is either a hit or a miss; so choose your rep wisely. Know that if you have, what i assume is an assigned tech that has assisted you in the past, others techs will hesitate to help you, willingly. If you are a female, most of the reps are happy to help but you will be up-charged or treated rudely if you refuse their suggested service! Try to come with a guy, or a knowledgeable girl, if you can. Also i read the other reviews, but you decide how you feel specifically because the responses to reviews are only for "good" reviews. I have left good reviews in the past, so i'm not disgruntled but i want to be honest. I don't want any other female to be taken advantage of...but life is life. Don't break the bank to get service. If you have an older model infinity, i'll give you an excellent shop that won't break your bank. I didn't give a score of one-star because as i stated at the start of the review, I've been coming for 10+ years.
