What an ordeal. After coming here FOUR times in six weeks (each time being told my issue with my check engine light was fixed) they finally did the necessary repairs. It was obvious they were avoiding doing the warranty work at all costs (because it was going to COST them!) Burke Tice was so unhelpful. He was my service writer the first 3 times. I always thought that this next time would be the time that his promises of the issue being fixed would come through.
Finally, the last time I dropped it off for service, it was Jeremy Bishop that helped me. Jeremy did a great job. He kept in contact with me, and the experience with him was 10 times better than with Burke. It was obvious that this time Chevy was actually going to TRY to honor their powertrain warranty and really look into the problem instead of giving some BS excuse for why it was having problems and do some minor tweak like changing the oil (Burke once blamed my problem on a bad oil change at a competing dealer).
The last time I dropped it off, the problem was fixed (to my knowledge @ this point... who knows.) but it did take some time (almost 3 weeks). I understand though, not all parts are going to be available at all times, and there's lots of vehicles to work on and diagnose every day. Luckily, I FINALLY was able to be given a loaner vehicle.
My overall experience was a very bad one at Young Chevy. From the first time I took my car in to diagnose a check engine light to the day I finally got it back (seemingly) fixed, two months had went by. And by no means should it take 4 trips here to get warranty work done & my car fixed. If my story ended here, it would already be a poor experience, but it does not.
I got my vehicle back from Young Chevy on Tuesday, 5/29. I immediately noticed some things were missing in my car. Several phone charger, sunglasses, etc. I figured that a mechanic likely snatched them. I was annoyed, but didn't want to deal with a return trip to this dealer after all I'd already been through with them. Then, on Friday, 6/1, I discovered a fraudulent check made out to someone I've never heard of before. This is when I remembered earlier in the day that I left my car @ Chevy (May 11) I had brought my checkbook along because I had needed it. I put it in my glovebox and forgot about it.
Well, at this point I realized my car had been broken into while at Young Chevy. A check had been made out in my name for a large sum of money, sunglasses, and chargers were all taken. I went back to Young Chevy, they apologized, but just told me they didn't have cameras or anything, didn't know the name of the person the check was made out to, etc. They gave me some info involving another break in at the Young Kia dealership around the same time. Can I just say, how does such a large dealer not have ANY security cameras of their lot in this day and age? Also, if they don't know this person the check was made out to or think it may be a mechanic's girlfriend, etc. then this means my car was obviously left UNLOCKED for someone to simply open the door and steal my stuff. Unacceptable.
Todd Barker, the service manager, came out and pretty much just told me I was out of luck, and hopefully the police can help me. I understand these things happen, but I would hope to get a little more service especially after the ordeal I had already went through with these clowns.
Next time I need work done, whether it's more warranty work or an oil change, I won't be coming here unless it's my last resort! read more
