We had a positive experience when purchasing our 2014 GMC Acadia Denali, two years ago. Duane was a very good car salesman and would go above and beyond to make sure we are happy buyers, cuz that means more referrals and clienteles, for the business world.
Fast forward, after owning our brand new vehicle for less than two years, we've experienced a problem with the AC. It wasn't blowing out cool air like it should have, but instead it was blowing in air from the outside!!
So I took the vehicle in for them to investigate and hopefully fix the problem. Having to drag two little kids with me, it wasn't a fun experience on a hot day like yesterday.
We arrived at the dealer at 8:45am this past Monday, Toby, one of the service guy came out and we exchanged information. He got me in a smaller loaner car, which is fine, as long as the car seats can fit securely in the back row. Got out of there by 9:30am which to me feels like forever, cuz again, I was hauling two little people with me and they were impatient. Wish it was quicker!
Got a phone call later that day around 5pm while I was at work saying the vehicle is done, they couldn't find a major leak but recharged the AC unit so it's filled up. Asked to return 4-6 weeks for a check up. Really GMC? Either you fix the problem and give a customer a definite answer that it is good to go. Or you replace the AC unit before my warrantee is up! I don't want to pay thousands of dollars after my 3-year warranty!!
Came pick up the vehicle on Tuesday afternoon and first thing I was informed by Toby was, as the mechanic drove in to the shop he noticed a screw in my front left tire and they patched it up for a small fee of $14.22. Wait hold up, I drove the car in and it was perfectly fine, no lights has popped up saying my tire pressure was low, I know I didn't ran over a screw and not know about it. Your people ran over a screw and you make me pay for that crap?! I could've taken it to Discount Tires and have them patch it up for free!! It's not about the small fee of $14, it's about customer loyalty that makes customers feel like this is the best dealership he/she has ever been to! Anyway, he went back to waive that "small fee" for me.
Took him over half hour to give me the discharge paper for my car. While having kids in the car on a hot day like yesterday. Again, wish it was quicker!
Car oil was changed cuz it was time to, but a wash and vacuum was not accomplished, nor offered. All my previous experiences with oil changes or any services at car dealerships has been phenomenal, except for this one! I've own an Acura, Lexus, Toyota, BMW, Honda and all of the dealership I've dealt with has given me the best customer service by far.
I hate to recommend my family and friends to buy any General Motors because of this past experience. Maybe it's just this location that's lacking or maybe even the person that "helped" me needs more training. Again, my car salesman, Duane, really delivers!!
**the two stars is for the service I've received**
