After some very unpleasant and unprofessional experiences from another local Chevrolet dealership, I have been searching for another place to take my car. So I decided to give Seguin Chevrolet a try.
I went online, scheduled my appointment, hopped in my Camaro, and away I went. After a 10 minute drive from New Braunfels, I arrived and pulled up to the service drive. This dealership is isolated on I-10 with not many things around it. It looks a little smaller than your typical dealership, so I had high hopes from this place.
I walked in and was greeted by a busy, but friendly service advisor named Chuck. After a brief wait, an enthusiastic Chuck inquired as to what I needed today, to which I informed him an oil change and a state inspection on my agenda. Armed with a clipboard and a pen, Chuck was ready for action. Off to my Camaro to where we took the typical vehicle vital signs - mileage, vin number, license plate, etc. After gathering the essential information we walked back to the service department to where Chuck confirmed my address and phone number. Chuck asked if I was waiting, or leaving, to which I said I would be waiting. Chuck said he had an eager team just waiting for my car, and showed me to the waiting area. I was not quoted a time frame, but from previous experiences, I expected about an hour to an hour and a half.
The lobby was quite busy today with no seating, so I had to find a seat at a table near some cars on the showroom floor. No big deal, being a car guy, I always love getting up close with cars, so I was in good company. Looking around, the staff were very casually dressed, with salesmen waiting to make a sale. I was digging the relaxed environment and all of the smiling faces. I was, however, turned off by the loud tejano music blaring from a wireless speaker on the showroom floor. No offense, as I generally have a diverse taste in music, and had I been able to understand the music, I'm sure the tunes were very catchy. I'm just saying, I'm here for an oil change. Not at a club, or here for a quinceañera. I was thinking I could drown the music with my AirPods, but that was not happening. Luckily, I glanced over to the main lobby and a lot of the chairs had cleared out. After about 5 minutes, I was able to find another seat away from the loud music. Thank goodness. But now, I'm hungry for some chips and salsa!
I grabbed another seat, and glanced into the service bay. Chuck obviously was not joking when he said they were ready. My baby was jacked up in the air on the lift, and service technicians under her checking out her undercarriage. Very impressive. Now, time to sit and write the proper Yelp review. I gave my baby an occasional glance on the lift getting pampered.
About 40 minutes later, I glanced at the lift and my baby was down and away. This is shaping up to be a great service experience. So I went looking for Chuck so I can pay and leave.
After looking for Chuck, I could not find him. I saw my paperwork sitting on his computer, but Chuck was no where to be found. Maybe the music had him hankering for chips and salsa too since it was close to lunch time. No big deal. So, I grabbed another service writer and told her I saw my car and I was ready to get in it and vamoose. She grabbed my paperwork and keys, and ushered me to the cashier.
I paid the friendly lady behind the glass for services rendered, got into my car, and vanished like a thief in the night. I was very impressed, and will in fact return here for future service. Never again will I return to the other unnamed Chevy dealer in New Braunfels. Seguin Chevy is my new place my baby will get serviced.
I highly recommend Seguin Chevy for service. Furthermore, if you want an excellent experience, ask for Chuck. I wanted to commend Chuck on the great job, but I did not see him again. Hopefully he sees this review.
This easily would have been a 5 star visit. One star was deducted for the loud, obnoxious music. I can deal with music, but maybe next time they lower the volume so I can put in my AirPods and drown it out.
