Let me begin by saying... Georgia has a hidden GEM in Smyrna! I have been searching for a…read moreparticular commercial vehicle for months and I found one on their lot. I had the good fortune to work with Gabriel. As others have mentioned in previous posts, he was fantastic to work with. Because I was making this purchase from NC, I had to rely heavily on him to do what was needed to give me confidence in this purchase, having only the pictures and researched reports to go on. Gabriel went above and beyond to help me feel confident about purchasing from them. The process with this dealership was smooth. The product was accurately represented. Not to mention... this dealership takes pride enough in what they sell that they are not like many dealers who, after the chip shortage, wouldn't even bother to clean the vehicles that they were trying to sell you. When you walk through their lot, you'll see nice vehicles, clean with a nice presentation. You won't just look at one. After the thorough, painless process I experienced with this dealer, facilitated by Gabriel, I drove back to NC with my long awaited van. Even though this dealer is two states away, I will have no problem checking them out when I'm in the market again. Kudos to Gabriel and Global Motors VIP and I appreciated working with you.

They simply go to make a profit and don't care if other people lose My brother bought a 2021 GMC Sierra and he wasn't even two weeks old and he already turned on the engine light having problems already And we went to the Dealership to make a claim or ask them for help and they refused help or do something in return terrible this dealership Don't visit this dealership and avoid the headaches

My 2013 Ford Flex had water pump issues in April 2021 while we were out of town visiting family for…read moreSpring Break. My husband did some research, called around and we took the vehicle to Christian Brothers Westchase (Tampa, FL). Turns out the water pump, which is built into the engine in this vehicle, so the labor costs are astronomical. The Flex was sitting at 141,000 miles so my husband decided to ask Christian Brothers Westchase to handle the 150,000 mile maintenance. All the parts would not arrive in time so we left the vehicle in Tampa and drove home my mom's vehicle instead. My parents had plans to drive through Atlanta a couple weeks later and could trade out vehicles at that time. When the Flex returned back to Marietta it didn't sound the same to me, the primary driver. As a busy working wife and mom to three, although it sounded noisier the vehicle was running fine so I didn't make it a priority to get it checked out. After school released, we drove to Orlando in early June 2021 (less than two months later) and the Flex started driving funny. Next think I know we're stranded on Western Way (behind Animal Kingdom) with my three kids and parents at 8pm on a Sunday night. An Uber delivered my mom and kids to our resort while my dad and I waited for a tow. We paid extra to get the Flex to Christian Brothers Clermont since that was the company who most recently did previous work. I was told this time it was a failed fuel valve (evap purge valve). Again, I drove another vehicle back to Marietta. I spoke with someone and described the louder than previously normal engine noises so it could be addressed before pick up and was told it didn't sound like anything was wrong. I drove roundtrip from Marietta to Clermont and back all in one day to return the borrowed vehicle and pick up my Flex. It still sounded loud to me but again was back to driving fine otherwise. All this time, since before April, the check engine light on the Flex would come on and go off randomly. The shops would clear the code when it was in, and it would eventually go off...then come back on. Needing to get emissions checked on the Flex, about mid-summer, I drove by Christian Brothers Acworth and they ran the code. This time I was told it was a catalytic converter, this was surprising since one was replaced in 2018 and one in 2019. We took it to the shop that did the work in 2019 to get the catalytic converter replaced. This did not solve the check engine light problem. I reached back out to Christian Brothers Westchase wanting them to take a look at the Flex again, to see what was causing the noise and check engine light. I offered to drive back to Tampa since my kids were still on summer break. I was instructed to visit the closest Christian Brothers location to our home, which happens to be the Smyrna location. Christian Brothers Smyrna got off to a rocky start. Trying to schedule Flex drop off was complicated, my husband and I had to juggle our work schedules to live with one vehicle. The Flex was at the shop for three days, when we thought work was getting done, but then were told the technician got covid and had been out for the week. The second time the Flex was at the shop for three days, they insisted other work needed to be done. My husband approved the additional work but then we were not charged when that work did not fix our problems. Trying to schedule for the Flex to return to CBS, I had reached my wit's end while on a phone call with Stephen at CBS and he offered me a rental. The plan was for Christian Brothers Smyrna to re-do the entire timing chain job that was previously done by Christian Brothers Westchase in April, at no cost to us. The Flex stayed with Christian Brothers Smyrna for over two weeks. In the mix of the timing chain job, we were informed the second catalytic converter was bad. Over the months, we learned that the catalytic converters would fail over time if the timing chain was not on correctly...and I was also told a bad timing chain job would cause the fuel valve to fail (our June issue). CBS also replaced the catalytic converter at no additional labor cost to us. Since each Christian Brothers location in independently owned, the Smyrna location tried to work with Westchase to split parts and labor expenses (since the initial fault falls on the bad timing chain job done by Westchase) and continued to express disappointment in working with their sister store. The Flex problems caused much stress and headaches over the months, we're so happy to be done. Stephen and his team at Christian Brothers Smyrna definitely went above and beyond to right the problems for us. I cannot recall their names now, but the sweet woman who always answers the phones and another gentleman who works in the front office were always so kind and helpful even though I'm sure they wanted to run for the hills every time they saw me. We appreciate Christian Brothers Smyrna for the dedication they have to their clients.

I appreciated the ease of scheduling an appointment and the idea of receiving updates by text message. I was also excited about the potential of the digital estimate to make the findings clear and help me make informed decisions. Unfortunately, the actual experience left me highly disappointed. I brought my 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche in because it was losing power, hesitating and periodically stalling. I understand it is an almost 20-year-old truck with nearly 300,000 miles. That made a thoughtful diagnosis and practical repair plan especially important to me. Instead, I received a $16,314.24 estimate without a clear explanation of which confirmed fault was causing the stalling. The estimate lists numerous replacement recommendations, but it does not provide the actual trouble codes, test measurements, or a clear connection between the findings and the problem I brought it in for. Purely visual inspection. For example, the estimate recommended $2,629 in catalytic-converter and oxygen-sensor work, including four oxygen sensors. It noted an installed oxygen-sensor fouler, but did not document backpressure readings or sensor-test results explaining why all those replacements were needed. Another $6,642 was recommended for a rear differential assembly, even though the notes described "potential" bearing failure, "possible" additional issues, and the need for further evaluation. Those recommendations deserved an explanation of what was confirmed and why full replacement was the appropriate solution. Then called to add additional brake diagnostic fees even though as stated on the receipt that was covered in original diagnostic. What disappointed me most was the lack of apparent effort to help me work through those decisions. There was no clear, staged plan explaining what needed immediate attention for safety, what would address the stalling, and what could wait. I also wanted a reasonable discussion of whether other major concerns made investing thousands in this truck impractical. I was not asking anyone to predict the future--just to help me make an informed decision. Getting even an explanation was difficult. The response was essentially, "There's a lot here--when are you coming to pick it up?" When I pressed for details, the person I spoke with seemed surprised and said they would call back. After another day passed, I had to follow up again. I spent approximately $400 on a diagnostics that ended up being a very expensive visual experience real testing or no test drive was performed to investigate my driving complaint. If safety concerns prevented that, I deserved an explanation of why and what alternative testing was done. I was also asked to authorize a separate brake diagnostic even though brake-component failures were already listed in the initial diagnostic notes, without a clear explanation of the additional testing. The scheduling and digital tools offered a promising start, but they were not matched by the communication, care, or problem-solving I expected. I left feeling that the shop was more interested in having me collect my truck than helping me find a sensible path forward. An older vehicle still deserves a careful diagnosis--and its owner deserves clear answers.
