Beware, and do not take your vehicle to this place for any reason at all!!!
You know there are dummy lights on a vehicle for a reason.
But before that when I learned to change alternators, solenoids and starters or batteries, it was called the process of elimination to fix vehicles back in the day.
If this worked and that worked but that didn't work, then it was what didn't. That and a Chilton manual. And of course tools. So when I brought it in and it c it couldn't have been any of these reasons, or the anti-theft module because you knew when you did auto start, which you mentioned when you came back in after taking my key, and going out and testing it, and it started that it wasn't anything else but the anti-theft for the key fob. That was a whole 2 minutes.
You really had to put the diagnosis computer to it? Really? After it started, and you come in and show me that it wasn't anything but the key? Seriously?
Now, you said you were going to use the old cut key that was on the fob, and just replace it, which means you also didn't even need to cut the key. And that you had to "re-program the key, in which I was thinking, well that is not hard, since that wasn't the original fob for the car, when I bought it new. I had a button on the original key that wore out, and so I ordered a new key, went to a locksmith and had it recut on the new one. I then programmed the new key fob. So, I know how long that takes.
And no, I am not a mechanic, but I know my car, and a few things, even though I am am just an old woman from Omaha, who had her 85 year old father with her. But obviously, you were like, okay Wow, we got two suckers who just walked in!
So, when you said $200 and you would give me a "loaner," and btw folks, a loaner is $50 dollars a day, and the next day was Saturday, I assumed, okay, we will eat $ 250. this wasn't a tough fix, since Friday, even though on Friday at 4 pm there were at least 5 people just standing around at the service desk and the fact the time it took to get a hold of American Family, forget my ID and my driver's license, and credit card there, and had to turn around from Faucett which is 17 minutes away from St Joe, and drive back before 6 pm, one wonders why it would be so hard since they had a parts department to just be respectful and do the simple thing and fix it before I left that day.
Boy did I get comments when I told people where we had left the car by people who obviously know your reputation and live around you.
"They aren't going to fix your car tomorrow. They are going to price gouge you."
Another told me," Oh they are a rip off."
Sure enough Saturday came and went and a simple key fix was not done.
Imagine me when I called them Monday, and they told me it was over $450 to fix the key, and of course that didn't include the $150 for the "loaner you gave me, and told me to make sure the tank was full, when it wasn't even 3/4 full, nor washed, when we first got in? Seriously?
So, when I argued and listened to the snarky, nasty phone call phone call, with me arguing with you, telling that if I knew so much why I brought the car to you, and my response was simply, you are Chevy dealership, I assume you had the key, isn't a common sense answer? And let's get real here, you also knew it "was just the key," In less than 5 minutes after the car was towed in.
I have no doubt you are going to hear a snarky response from you regarding this review. I will love hearing how you justify your deceit.
A simple thing that you will try to justify. Good luck.
Get ready for excuses, lies and analytical nonsense. Adding $250 more was what? Storage fee to hold the car until Monday? I assure you, the car doesn't leak oil. It may be a 2013 Chevy, but I take good care of the car, even though the back seat has been torn up trying to get Dad's wheel chair in there that I have pushed him with many times because I take care of him.
Dollars and cents over common sense, right?
You had no cause to be snarky with me on the phone. I thought you would be honest, and you weren't. That is what this is really about. You can deny saying $200 dollars to fix, but you quoted it before we left. I gave you the benefit of the doubt even though not one car sat in a bay across from you all.
People from St Joe told us that you were going to rip us off. I thought no, you will be fair. Well obviously your reputation with locals is absolutely accurate.
Yes folks, there is nothing worse than people who try and take advantage of people because they think they can. The locals already know it. But hopefully, we will be the last. read more
