Dealer wanted me to drop off car for 3-4 days I made an appointment for having an engine issue resolved. The dealer contacted me and told me that I would have to leave the vehicle for 3-4 days in I made an appointment for having an engine issue resolved. The dealer contacted me and told me that I would have to leave the vehicle for 3-4 days in order for them to queue up for having diagnostics run. I told them if there was a three to four day wait, then why not make the appointment for when I could get the diagnostics done on the same day. The service person then suggested that it would be 3-4 days no matter when I dropped the car off, but if I waited till the 19th of Sept, they could then provide a loaner. But that it would still take three to four days after I dropped the car off. This dealer has recently lost a deal from me and I bought this Encore at another place. I have a strong feeling that this is why they are treating me so badly. There is absolutely no reason they cannot schedule me so that the diagnostics cannot be scheduled and completed the same day, especially when I am letting the dealer choose the day for the appointment.

Will Never Go Back For Service or Sales Entire experience from Sales to Service was unpleasant. To begin with, I had been driving a GMC pickup but as I'm 62 years old, I was leaning toward a Entire experience from Sales to Service was unpleasant. To begin with, I had been driving a GMC pickup but as I'm 62 years old, I was leaning toward an Acadia due to the ease of getting in and out of the vehicle. I was already pre-approved by my credit union so essentially had a check in my hand ready to buy. My wife and I drove both the Sierra and Acadia. This was in November of 2016 and the new 2017's were already out. This particular Sierra was a 2016 model and had been on Covert's lot for almost a year, so they were offering some good incentives. The Acadia was a 2017 model with a lot of bells and whistles, so it was going to cost more. I presented my pre-approval letter to the salesman and said that if they'd come down to my approval amount, I'd take the Acadia. When he said that management wouldn't come down to that figure, we settled on the Sierra, our second choice. This was around 7:30 or7:45 in the evening and the salesman seemed eager to go home. It took another 2 hours to complete the paperwork and we didn't even get to take the vehicle home. The finance guy kept trying to increase the amount that the salesman quoted. I found out the following day by searching their inventory online, that there were at least 4 other Acadia's on there lot that would have fallen within my budget. I believe that the salesman just wanted to make the sale so that he could go home and that Covert wanted to get rid of their older inventory. They didn't really want to sell me what I actually wanted. It went down hill from there. I had been in twice for service and once for warranty repairs. Basically, they were all unpleasant experiences for one reason or another. Poor service, unresolved warranty issues, not delivering when promised, etc. I kept trying though. On my third visit for service a couple of days ago, I had an 8 o'clock appointment for an oil change and tire rotation. After an hour, I noticed that my name wasn't on the status board that showed vehicles waiting, in progress, or completed. I asked the clerk about it and she said she's ask my advisor about it. After an hour and a half, my truck was finally pulled around. I probably would have been OK with this, but when I mentioned to my service advisor that it shouldn't take that long to just change the oil and rotate the tires, he starts giving me this attitude about, "it always takes 1 1/2 hours" as he's rolling his eyes. I know from my many years that it doesn't. I was then told that it was going to cost me $76 which came as a surprise. I have to admit that I was accustomed to the Cadillac service next door where they gave you free oil changes, tire rotations, and washes for 4 years or 48,000 miles, so I should have read the sales contract more closely. But I've had my truck for less than 2 years and I expected more. When I said that I'd be taking my vehicle elsewhere next time because it was cheaper, the service advisor continued with his attitude with, "it would have cost you over $100 to have it done anywhere else" in this very condescending voice. After all of my other visits, I received a survey from GM asking to rate my experience, But, you know it's funny, after complaining to the service manager about the way I was treated and that I'd never be back, I never got that survey...

I wish I could give “0” stars! I have a 2015 Yukon Denali. I dropped my vehicle off for a repair. When I picked it up, the GPS was not working. I took it back in and was told that I I have a 2015 Yukon Denali. I dropped my vehicle off for a repair. When I picked it up, the GPS was not working. I took it back in and was told that I need a new antenna. I also had them to look at the DVD system that isn’t working (which I have already had replaced once). They are giving me a discount to fix these items, but I should not have to pay for anything since the antenna broke while in their care and the DVD has already been replaced once (and I have had the vehicle for barely 2 years). When I got my car back this time, there was a dent in the dash. I should not have to wonder what will be broken next when I take my car to Covert! They are supposed to fix it, not break it further! I had a 2011 Yukon Denali that I loved and didn’t have any problems with. The 2015 Yukon has had nothing but problems. It seems as if their quality is going downhill. Not only has Covert lost a customer, but GMC has as well! More
Worst service I have ever had a dealership If I could give them zero stars, I would. I have never had so many issues with a dealership in my life. I will never buy a car from them again. And I If I could give them zero stars, I would. I have never had so many issues with a dealership in my life. I will never buy a car from them again. And I may never buy a GMC again because of them. Everything they do and say is a lie. Their service is guaranteed to cost you in time, multiple trips for the same issue, stress, and aggravation. No accountability here. Just a steady stream of lie after lie, big and small, to your face. Black is white, gaslighting. The only constant and reliable thing is that they will mess up your service, and you will have walk through fire to get them to fix it. Expect at least 2-3 trips to fix the same issue. I am literally going to transfer all of my paperwork and purchase to another dealership so that I never have to deal with them again. It is truly that bad. More

Covert Buick to the rescue Driving thru Austin, TX. on our way home to Rogersville, AL, our A/C went out. We called other shops and dealers and were told they could service our Driving thru Austin, TX. on our way home to Rogersville, AL, our A/C went out. We called other shops and dealers and were told they could service our Tahoe in a week or more. When we called Covert, the service dept. told us to come on in. The service dept. was very busy, i had my doubts, they took our Tahoe back came back and explained our problem and went to work. Shortly after closing time our Tahoe was cooling and we were on our way. More

I brought my GMC Acacia to the dealership at 8:25 a.m. on 8/10/13 to have two recalls addressed. I asked if I should wait or have someone pick up me and was told that it was my choice. I was told that I w 8/10/13 to have two recalls addressed. I asked if I should wait or have someone pick up me and was told that it was my choice. I was told that I would receive a call when my car was ready. I called at 10:43 a.m. to check the status as we had plans to go out of town. The woman answering the phone rudely explained that she didn't see my invoice and that they would call. I followed up again at 1:48 p.m. and was told I needed to talk to my service manager and was immediately transfered to David's voicemail. Knowing the dealership closed at 3:00 p.m., I called again at 2:30 p.m. and was put on hold and then eventually disconnected without speaking to anyone. At this point, we decided to leave the Acadia at the dealership as we needed to leave Austin. At 3:19 p.m., I received a call from Mark (?) saying that he "guessed" I was wanting him to find out if I could get my vehicle but they closed at 3:00 but they would be there a few more minutes. At this point, I was no longer even in Austin. I picked my car up at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, 8/12/13. At 9:24 a.m., I get a call from Dave saying that he apologized and he could bring the vehicle to me. Seriously?? This was a completely frustrating experience all for two recall notices. More
After being 6 hrs from home with a child who had received 2 days of intense treatment we experienced a flat tire. My vehicle was only 2mo old and fully covered under manufacture warranty and road hazard war 2 days of intense treatment we experienced a flat tire. My vehicle was only 2mo old and fully covered under manufacture warranty and road hazard warranty. My husband worked with a VERY unprofessional Service rep. who from that morning forward refused to inquire regarding our warranty and expressed no concern for our situation. After 4 hrs of arguing and repeatedly requesting a manager and being left across the street with NO VEHICLE your service rep Tom called us and LIED regarding his efforts and our coverage for our Road Hazard. We had to leave my handicapped child and 4 yr old at the restaurant as we walked across the street to pick up my vehicle from your dealership. A very irrate person I was at this time and it took a nice Cadillac Sales man to produce the Service Mgr after I requested to speak with Mr Covert himself. The service Mgr went on to explain that he just been made aware of the situation a few minutes prior(2PM). Keep in mind we had been dealing with this situation since 930AM and requesting to speak with a manager since 11AM. (4 times I requested a manager and each time they told me he was out of the office.) The service manager proceeded to begin with explaining what he had been told by Tom, he apologized for not being aware of our situation but could NOT produce a solution nor seemed sincerely concerned with our situation. I expressed my concerns and took my keys and left. I WAS REQUESTED BY YOUR TEAM TO SHIP MY OWN TIRE OFF TO CLAIMS AND PAY EVERYTHING IN FULL. I was to carry this dirty tire 6 hours back home with me and pay everything to your dealership. We battled all day with your service rep TOM, even had to produce proof of coverage by calling our GREAT sales team in Weatherford, who were beside themselves that a certified GMC dealer would be so inconsiderate under the circumstances. Even after proof TOM had trouble and an Attitude with my husband to get our vehicle serviced. His hostility had me concerned for our safety in that they might not do a good job in retaliation. Trying to care for a sick child and get my family back home to Odessa safety before dark was the least of Tom's concern. He wanted MY MONEY. I never denied offering payment but wanted to check with the Road Hazard because I didn't understand why I was out of pocket since that was not the agreement in the contract. Our Road Hazard rep explained YOUR dealership refused to send back my tire for coverage and reimbursement. They also went on to explain that NO ONE from your dealership even tried to verify coverage and this could be done simply by entering the VIN # in the computer. She kindly found me a non GMC dealership to change my tire and get us on the road home at no additional cost to me since our warranty covered EVERYTHING!! This facility was AMAZING and had us taken care of with in the hour!!! Unfortunately we had wasted all day putting faith in GMC and this dealership. I will not recommend your SERVICE dept to ANYONE and will make it know to GMC the lack of CARE we received. I have been a happy GMC owner since 2003 and NEVER in all my travels or routine maintenance experienced such TERRIBLE Customer Service. Worst of all I had to go to another facility to repair my brand NEW GMC Acadia and my children were exhausted after our travels as we arrived home at 2AM due to your team. It saddens me we were so far from home,in a bind, and now it worries me the service GMC dealerships may provide. I do not feel safe and will never go to this dealership again.
