Central Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM Fiat of Norwood - Service Center

Unbelievable waiver had to be signed before any work I took my 2009 Jeep Wrangler in for repair. My Jeep has 165000 miles on it. It's in great shape, everyone thinks it's a new Jeep and they are quite I took my 2009 Jeep Wrangler in for repair. My Jeep has 165000 miles on it. It's in great shape, everyone thinks it's a new Jeep and they are quite surprised when they find out the year and mileage. Anyway... After giving JIM in service my information and Keys, he hands me a "Higher Mileage and Older Vehicle Repair Order Disclosure". A waiver? What the heck for? Why do I need a waiver to have my Jeep serviced? I could not upload the actual document so I copied the context of the waiver (Higher Mileage and Older Vehicle Repair Order Disclosure). I like the part where it states the repairs might not fix the problem. Here is the actual statement from the waiver: (In addition, I acknowledge that the work performed is not guaranteed to correct the vehicle's problem(s).) Why the heck would I bring my Jeep to a dealership for repairs if they can't guaranty the repairs will fix the problem? SEE THE FOLLOWING CONTEXT OF THE WAIVER.

The most unfriendly Service department ever Contacted the service department to get a price on replacing rear axle seals in my 2009 Wrangler. Was quote around $400. I felt that was reasonable Contacted the service department to get a price on replacing rear axle seals in my 2009 Wrangler. Was quote around $400. I felt that was reasonable after comparing them to other dealers. I made the appointment and dropped off my jeep. I decided to drop it off the night before. Upon arriving at the dealership I spoke to Jim and wanted to confirm the quote I had received. He punched away at the keyboard, made a phone call and came back and told me it was going to be between $600-$800 for the repair. I was flabbergasted.. I told him of the quote I had received over the phone and he said "did you get it in writing?" Really? I argued with him the reason I had brought it there was because of the quote I had received. He said without a written quote he could do nothing about it. After arguing with him about the difference I reluctantly agreed to have it fixed anyway. The next morning I received a call from Jim. Now I've never been to the dealership before for repairs so I was a new customer not use to how they operate. Anyway... Jim says "Where is your Jeep?" "did you leave it?" I said yes I left it out front to the left. Very arrogantly he says "No wonder I couldn't find it service is on the right" Are you kidding? They couldn't look for it? It was right in front of the dealership! I was so aggravated with his response. Later that morning I received another call from Jim and he said upon dismantling the axles they noticed grease on the emergency brake shoes and recommended I replace them. Now I know a little bit of brake clean will remove the grease and because the shoes aren't used to stop the vehicle but to hold it in place that this would be fine. He then tells me it's going to be $300 to replace the shoes! Wait a minute... they already have it apart because they took the axles out. Why is it $300 for a part I can buy at any parts store for about $30 bucks? Another rip off in the making. I told him to forget it. He writes on the repair order "the customer refused to replace emergency brake shoes." Later that evening I picked up my vehicle and found the repair was not $400 as quoted but almost $600. I said never again! This was a couple months ago. I've cooled off now and I figured I'd give them another chance. My jeep has a lifetime warranty on the power train and one of the components that is covered is u-joints. Now I know with 1000% confidence that my left front axle u-joint is gone. So I thought I'd give Central another try, ANOTHER MISTAKE!!!!!!!!! Before calling the dealership I researched the warranty online to confirm the u-joint was covered under the warranty. It was. I called this morning and low and behold who picks up the phone in the service department? JIM! Leaving my past experience with Jim behind I wanted to confirm the warranty was active on my Jeep and the u-joint was covered. (Funny he didn't remember me.) I gave him my phone number and he looked it up and confirmed my Jeep was under warranty and the proceeded to confirm that u-joints were covered. So I said lets make an appointment and get it fixed. He then proceeded to tell me there would be a $122.50 charge to inspect the vehicle and confirm the u-joint needed to be replaced. I said "wait a minute you just told me it was covered under warranty" He said yes, if that is in fact what it is it is covered. I told him I was certain it was a u-joint, 100 % positive and he said there would still be a $122.50 charge to verify it. I said is it cover or not? Well I don't know, if that what the warranty says then it is. I said you just confirmed it was covered. You told me u-joints were covered. He said they are. I said so it's covered? He said if that what is wrong and it's under warranty. I asked him if he know what was covered under the lifetime warranty. He said yes. I said are u-joints covered? He said yes. But there would be a $122.50 charge to verify it needs a u-joint. I said I'm telling you with 1000% confidence it needs a u-joint in the left front so there is no need for a diagnostic charge. He said they charge a diagnostic fee whenever the work on a vehicle. I said "you are making this too difficult" Forget the whole thing" I don't want to leave my car now. He said we have to diagnose it before we can work on it. It's too difficult to work with you. He kept going firing back at me. I hung up! Never again will I deal with Central Chrysler Jeep of Norwood. I wouldn't buy so much as a bolt from them. I am a lifetime Jeep owner. I've been driving Jeeps for 40 years. I am a former auto mechanic. I know Jeeps inside and out. Never in all my years have I dealt with such an arrogant and unfriendly dealership. How may stars would I give them? -5 sounds about right. DRIVER BEWARE! More

I did not have a good experience buying my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee from this dealership due to inattentive service and rudeness when problems with the car surfaced shortly after purchase. So I generall Grand Cherokee from this dealership due to inattentive service and rudeness when problems with the car surfaced shortly after purchase. So I generally avoided this dealership. But I've recently moved to a town nearby where the location is particularly convenient, so I decided to give it another try. Oh boy was that my mistake. The customer service rep tried very hard, but it was clear that he hadn't been given adequate training, nor could he command the resources internally to make anything happen. My biggest complaint is that in addition to just not addressing several requests I left on the instructions sheet, there were several things they did do where they utterly failed. One example: I asked for a backup key, as I had lost my spare. They cut me a spare, charged me $280 for it, and then when I put it in the ignition, it just flat out didn't work and wouldn't turn. They attributed that to a "poor cut" and would need to keep me several hours to "redo" it. I didn't have the time so simply wanted a credit refunding a key that DIDN'T WORK and they made that time-consuming, generally painful even though it was their fault, and the cashier was rude and terribly unhelpful. Moreover, they took valuables out of my car without asking me to do so to put in their safe (apparently to safeguard from their own employees) and when I arrived on a Friday at 4.30pm was told I couldn't get access until the manager came back during the day Monday. I have a job, and had to take more time off just to come reclaim what I assumed I could trust wouldn't be stolen. The issues go on and on: the engine light they said they fixed immediately came back on upon departing the lot, etc etc. Warning: poor work, poor dealership, avoid it if you can. More

I had to bring my new Chrysler 300S back 4 times for the exact same reason, the Air Bag Icon kept coming on. Not a huge deal but the manual said to bring it in immediately. After each repair the Icon would exact same reason, the Air Bag Icon kept coming on. Not a huge deal but the manual said to bring it in immediately. After each repair the Icon would remain off for a couple of days then come back on. Finally the fourth time I brought it in they said I would need a part ordered to fix it. This is the part that really irks me, they had my car and I told them that I really wanted it fix prior to the weekend and that I did NOT want to have to drive the minivan all weekend and to please fix it before I had to leave for home (I live an hour away) They never called but said they left a message late Friday afternoon that my car was ready to be picked up. Great I'm 3/4 the way home up Rt 128 in bumper to bumper traffic. I thought I would just bring the rental back on Monday. Monday arrives and I go to pick up my car and they want to charge me $115.00 for the rental of a car I didn't even want to use??? So they waste my time bringing the car back FOUR times for the same reason (never an apology) and then want to charge me for the rental when the service advisor never contacted me directly (he had my work and cell number). It gets better, after I saw the charge from Enterprise Rental I called the Service Manager and after a lengthy explanation he told me he would credit me for the rental. ALL LIP SERVICE... He never followed through, I eventually wrote him a letter to ask why he never credited me and to call me back to discuss. I waited 5 days and HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. Finally, I called him and he started to change the account of what actually happened...REALLY? You need to lie about $115.00? Next he said "if I gave an extra day of car rental to every person I would go out of business" Yeah, except you had my beautiful new car, the car I wanted for the weekend, and I had your crappy minivan rental. You would think that a dealership that claims they are a FIVE STAR dealership would handle things much more professionally. My guess is the FIVE STAR rating is on a scale of TEN STARS... I like my car so if you like the Chrysler 300, go for it, but do yourself a HUGE favor and steer clear of this dealership and advise anyone you like to do the same. More

I have purchased a new 2011 Dodge Charger R/T AWD Max and the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) has not been functional since I bought the vehicle. On top of it all my main reason for purchasing this vehicle w the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) has not been functional since I bought the vehicle. On top of it all my main reason for purchasing this vehicle was specifically for the Forward Collision Warning Alert System. I dropped off my vehicle at Central Motors in Norwood, MA to have it repaired. I dropped if off on 8/15/11 and picked it up on 8/17/2011. I tested the Forward Collision Warning Alert System and it is still not functioning!! This is completely unacceptable after purchasing a nearly $40,000 vehicle!!! I tested the FCW once more at home, and I very, very, slowly inched closer to my garage door until I bumped it and the Forward Collision Warning Alert System DID NOT ALERT ME WHATSOEVER! Now I have a brand new 2011 Dodge Charger R/T AWD Max package, nearly $40,000 with scratches on my front end bumper!!! I will NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE!! I should have gone and purchased a beautiful Acura TL for nearly the same price, with an outstanding customer service department. They actually employ individuals who are COMPETENT in performing their jobs, unlike the incompetent Service Representative Brandon and the Service Department Shop Foreman, who are completely, and utterly incompetent. The Salesman Joe Haskins assured me before I purchased this vehicle that the FCW would audibly and visually alert me once the front of the vehicle was close enough to another vehicle! Perhaps this is precisely why Chrysler Motors should have not been bailed out by taxpayer dollars, and allowed to FAIL! The free market should have decided the fate of Chrysler, and the end result would have been that no one would want to purchase an unreliable and overpriced Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles! Perhaps Chrysler LLC CEO Mr. Sergio Marchionne should investigate Central Motors and other dealerships who are going to bankrupt his company. More

From the beginning my experience was above what I expected. I have a 2004 jeep liberty which I crashed . They made sure that I got a 2010 jeep liberty to drive during the repair time which only took expected. I have a 2004 jeep liberty which I crashed . They made sure that I got a 2010 jeep liberty to drive during the repair time which only took two weeks to fix. They changed my rear differential and rear end suspension. My truck feels better than when I first got it. Drives even better than the rental I had. I made a smart choice bringing it to these guys. If you need a good collision center I rate this one above all the rest. Thank you to the technician who worked on it , I could tell he loved my truck the way I do. Took the time to vaccum and wash it for me. Thanks A+++ More

Stay far away from this company! Far Away. Had a problem with their JustForJeeps Department. Let me explain, the "founder" Peter when calling about a product that they sent me that was wrong and faulty, thr with their JustForJeeps Department. Let me explain, the "founder" Peter when calling about a product that they sent me that was wrong and faulty, threatened me, swore, and when I said I would be reporting them to the BBB, he said he will call the cops on me. Well, news to them I work for the Police Department in WA. But at 1am (PST) I started receiving prank phone calls from this Peter guy, on a police issued cell phone. We called the phone company as he was blocking the number and they said it was coming from a cell tower in MA. Grown men prank calling at 1am. We blocked all incoming numbers from their area code into the cell phone, as well as all blocked and unknown numbers. Though nothing illegal done yet, still made a report to the Sergeant of the Day in Boston. Point is, if this is who this place employs, stay FAR away. I would not want my personal information held by people like this. More

I bought my Jeep here. It had to be ordered. I was told it would be in in three weeks. It ended up taking almost three months. I felt the price was reasonable. I feel their service department charges it would be in in three weeks. It ended up taking almost three months. I felt the price was reasonable. I feel their service department charges the most of all area Jeep dealerships. My main gripe is with their Body Shop. I hit a deer when my "new" Jeep was three months old. I told them how important it was that it be fixed properly since it was so new and I intended to keep it for a long time and even said that if they didn't have the time to do it carefully, I could take it somewhere else. I got it back, empty light sockets were dangling under the truck, there was a heavy layer of white powder all over the back seats and floor, they didn't remove trim to paint but instead painted around it leaving tape marks, painted over paint without preparing the surface, so the paint started peeling off, left a hole the size of a dime between the floor panel and the firewall so water comes in, and charged me for parts on an invoice that were completely obvious that they did not replace, and even charged me for things that are not even on my vehicle ($25 for a license plate bracket and it didn't have one when it went in, and didn't have one when it came out). The bumper was still scraped up when I got it back, but it said they replaced the bumper. Before I even left the body shop I noticed a large panel on the front had deep gouges in it from the accident but yet it said they replaced that panel and charged me (my insurance company) for it. When I said something, they PULLED THE PART OFF A NEW JEEP IN THE PARKING LOT AND PUT IT ON MINE. The icing on the cake was when I was driving home and had no heat or ventillation because they never hooked the system back up, and the star on the top of their 5 star rating was when the fan flew off of my engine and came through the hood because it was not bolted back on. Thanks for taking such good care of my car and charging me for a bunch of things you didn't replace. I wouldn't go back. More
