RIPOFF WARNING! HUCKSTER ALERT!
If you're the type that loves getting ripped off, I can't recommend ROD HATFIELD CHEVROLET enough. This is the run-down lot on North New Circle with the big, dumb chicken in a truck out front. Fowl/Foul...pretty much sums up our experience, and after reading how many bad reviews these clowns have online, I can only say we should've checked before we stepped in the cow pie.
My wife took her Monte Carlo there to be serviced. Bewildered, they took 5 days to diagnose it and told her it would be ready on a Thursday, about a week after we dropped it off. They wound up dragging their feet and keeping it yet another week and a half.
When asked if they were going compensate her in any way, as she had to use another car for two weeks, and especially after all of the texts they sent, they acted like we were nuts for asking. There would be no making right their poor and shoddy service.
A guy named Russ Rogers dealt with us. "I can't make those decisions...that's above me," he kept saying, like a pre-recorded message. He finally said he'd talk to his superior, a Jeff Ramey, who wouldn't deign to talk to us personally over the next few days, but just sent Russ back to tell us he was unyielding in his right to give crap service.
It's patently obvious all the staff have been trained in the same way, what they used to call in sales "Big Smiles, Small Service." You nod, play nice, listen intently, make screwed-over customers feel heard, but never give fair service or professional courtesy for inconveniences or sloppy, subpar work, if it means you'll be out a dime. A lot of businesses in Lexington have gone out over the years for this same narrow-minded, greed-based, morally bankrupt approach.
They refused to give my wife anything for the extra time they kept her car, and messily glued the rubber guard ring around the ignition, dripping glue everywhere. It looks like a drunk child did it. They also gave and charged for an alignment we never asked for or approved.
Her car has new growling and pinging sounds, too, since she got it back, which means they'll have to look at it again. It's doubtful they'll claim any responsibility, as they're not service-minded. It's a waste of time arguing with people determined to be crooked, anyway.
We even called Chevy Corporate, trying to get them to govern their own people, but they passed the buck. I asked them why they were willing to give their name to a craphouse like HATFIELD, when there were so many complaints and obvious criminal behavior all over social media. They just don't care as long as the ill-gotten gains are gotten.
If you don't recognize it by the story-high cock, just look for a bunch of people coming out with lighter wallets and sore behinds.
Not to be negative, but I thought this might spare some innocent folks the same toothy, smiley con game we've had to play.
Caveat Emptor, my friends.
ROD HATFIELD CHEVROLET.
What a dump.
