My experience with this dealership was by far the worse I have ever had. On 05/10/2024 I talked to Kevin on the phone but he wasn't there when I arrived, we worked with Joe, Reda and Denny. First there was a have ever had. On 05/10/2024 I talked to Kevin on the phone but he wasn't there when I arrived, we worked with Joe, Reda and Denny. First there was an issue during the test drive that Reda tried to dismiss. Then, we agreed on a price with Reda and Denny tried to raised it by adding $900 dollars while I was signing, I was ready to leave, but Azam helped saved the deal. Denny told Joe I didn't accept the deal and left, which was not true, I was still there, so Joe left without even checking to see I was still there, I was left there for over an hour, dealership had already close and almost everyone was gone, I found Ali, he found out that the truck I just purchased and paid in full was locked in service and he didn't have access to it, very bad since I traveled over an hour to get to this dealer. Where they planning on closing leaving us locked inside without telling us??? 05/11/2024, I contacted Kevin, he pretended he didn't know then he admit he did and said the car was getting an inspection before they would deliver to me at no extra cost but that didn't happened. 05/12/2024, no answers, they're still holding my truck hostage for no reason and without my consent. 05/13/2024, since I was told my truck was locked in the service dept, I contacted them, they said they didn't have it, Kevin later said that it was supposedly there just in a different area and was being inspected, but supposedly it was being inspected two days earlier??? 05/14/2024, day 4 without my truck, Kevin didn't answered so i called and talked to Joe, asked him why he left on Friday without saying anything to me, he said because Denny had told him I left, that was a lie. I contacted a lawyer who told me that since I have not taken possession of the truck I could cancel the deal and must get a full refund. I contacted my insurance contact to tell them about all the issues, and since they cashed my check I also contacted my bank and explained all the issues, they said they have notated my account and if I decide to cancel the deal they would help me dispute the charge. I texted Kevin my conversation with the lawyer and told him the truck will need to be delivered to my house no later than Wednesday. 05/15/2024, my truck was finally delivered to my house, without being detailed, I also asked for copy of the inspection that supposedly took 4 days to get done and off course he didn't have it, he promised to email it to me but never did, of course not, because it was never done, there's no record of it, the last record of an inspection reported to Mopar was done on 05/08/2024, before I purchased the truck, therefore they hold my truck hostage for 4 days without a valid reason and lied about so many things, I would never trust them again. I even sent a message to the GM on 05/11/2024 and never received any answer from him. I cannot recommend this dealership. More

Kevin is great, so in no way shape or form do I want this to be a reflection on him. The finance team has made this a terrible experience. We waited over a week before we contacted to find out what was going to be a reflection on him. The finance team has made this a terrible experience. We waited over a week before we contacted to find out what was going on with our Banks. After I unauthorized my credit from continuing to be ran, Jerry Ulm Violated my fair credit reporting rights by running my credit after I already revoked authorization. We have been told so many different things from this company and none of them aligned. I have over eight credit inquiries on my credit, yet the bank that we ended up getting financed through was the bank that I already had with them and was ran on the very first day of us coming into the dealership. So now I have all of these additional inquiries on my account, half of those were not authorized . Kevin has done his best to clean up this mess, but Soony and the finance team need a better process of communication. They also lost the key to our trade in. More

Everyone was so helpful and informative. They explained things in detail for us and we did not feel pressured to make a decision. They explained things in detail for us and we did not feel pressured to make a decision. More

Reasonable experience. Took too long but that is typical when buying a car. The experience ended on a bad note when I was told there was only one key fob for the car and no Took too long but that is typical when buying a car. The experience ended on a bad note when I was told there was only one key fob for the car and nothing could be done. Very disappointing. More
