WORST SERVICE ANYWHERE. Holy Moses. I haven't ever been treated this poorly by a service department anywhere! Especially one that wants your business back! Or so you would think.
I first took my 2006 Dodge Sprinter van to South Point Dodge for service a few years ago, just your standard oil change, tune-up etc. They didn't fill in the booklet where you file service records. The next time I was in, I asked them to fill that in, and they again didn't. Over the next few years, I brought the van in again for regular service, brake work, and every time I had to hold the book out for them and ask them to fill it in- after the fact.
That lack of attention to detail should have alerted me. But the van ran fine, so I figured it was just them not wanting to deal with paperwork.
But I figured wrong. Last year, right as that horrible heat wave we had started up, my AC went out. I took the van in, and they supposedly fixed it. But they didn't. As I drove away, the AC didn't work at ALL. In 95 heat, at 5pm, stuck in traffic, no AC, and I had just paid a hefty sum for a repair. You get the picture. So I called them to have them really fix it, and they actually talked DOWN to me, saying things along the lines of "Awww, well if you didn't mess with the knobs all the time and left it how we had it set, little lady, you wouldn't have this problem." I insisted I am a bright and tinker-friendly gal, and that it was a mechanical failure, NOT MY FAULT. They insisted otherwise. I insisted right back until they agreed to see the van again to look over 'what I had done'.
When I brought it back in, they kept it for a week, and when I called to ask how the repair was going, they kept telling me they hadn't got to it yet. Now, we don't have a lot of money and can't afford a rental on top of repairs, so this put us out. They finally said it was a warranty issue, and said they fixed it. I picked up the van, and again, the AC didn't work.
By that time, I was done with these guys. Plus I needed the van, so drove around in hellish heat with no AC the entire summer. It was awful. I finally figured I should call on them one last time, and have them fix the problem, since it had never been fixed, and I had paid for the repair already. When I brought it back in, they again kept it for a week, coming up with all sorts of excuses as to why they hadn't got to it yet, including the 'dog ate my homework' excuse of the parts trucks all getting into accidents coming into Austin and there weren't any parts anywhere.
They again gave me the attitude of it somehow being my fault, and if I just would leave what the big men set in place, everything would be fine. Oh, and then they told me that last year, the part they had replaced was replaced with another broken part! Their bad (finally). They then said they fixed it (again), but they hadn't. I picked up the van and drove away, never to return again.
I know I'm going on and on, but I can't say enough bad things about their service dept! They treated me poorly. They lied. They charged me for repairs that never happened. They kept me waiting without returning phone calls, time after time. Don't ever take your vehicle to these folks. Don't ever go there. They obviously don't know what they're doing, and they treat you horribly. Save yourself! Go ANYWHERE else but to South Point Dodge!!! read more
