I went to crown Dodge after I was in an accident and my car was totalled. They totally took advantage of the fact that I was a woman and needed a vehicle asap. They were so friendly acting like gentleman b car was totalled. They totally took advantage of the fact that I was a woman and needed a vehicle asap. They were so friendly acting like gentleman but it was all an act. The salesman Evan told me that the Jeep I was looking at came with a warranty and free service for 4 years and it was included in the price. Well now 3 weeks later when I am fixing a mess THEY created in financing, I realized they charged me over 3 thousand dollars for that service. My bad for not reading their contract with a fine tooth comb but morally, they are disgusting. Typical salesmen attitude only care about making the sale on the most money they can. I will never go back to this dealership and recommend people stay away too. More
I have given this rating due to the way I was treated in the service department. I took my jeep into this place for warranty work. I was informed they would check out my jeep and call the warranty company a the service department. I took my jeep into this place for warranty work. I was informed they would check out my jeep and call the warranty company and give ma a call by the end of the day. Two days later I had to call and was given some run around and was told there was a Chrysler bulleton out stating the jeeps were installed with faulty trans filters and that this would fix the problem. They made it sound like it was going to be covered it was not. 3 day later I had to call again and find out the status of my jeep now and again was given some run around saying they could not duplicate the problem and would I mind coming down to show them. Took off work early and took jim for a ride and duplicated the problem. 4 days later I had to call and find out the status and I was told they couldn't duplicate the problem that I had shown him 4 days earlier. I informed jim to stop all work and I want my jeep back and that I need it by Wednesday night at the latest he said fine and that he would do it and call me. Wednesday night no call Thursday no call until Thursday afternoon jim calls and says the jeep is done. The total is way to much for something that was played off as warranty. So I spent 13 days without a car due to jim not calling warranty right away so they could issue me a rental. This is why I purchased the extended warranty. Now after paying the high bill I get my jeep home and look under it to find the transmission pan is leaking transmission fluid as well as the front shock, control arms (upper and lower) as well as the half shaft and inner fender have a bunck of grease and oil all over them. Unethical, sloppy mechanics. More

This is the worst service department I have ever encountered! These people are as unethical as they come, they lie to you over & over again. They have had my vehicle for 3 weeks to put in a new tr encountered! These people are as unethical as they come, they lie to you over & over again. They have had my vehicle for 3 weeks to put in a new transmission which should take a couple of days. I have been promised at least 4 times that it would be finished and now I find it will be next week (FOUR WEEKS). This is a business vehicle for our small family owned business. They are putting us out of business. I have never been treated so disrespectfully in my life. I am on hold at the corporate office now for 48 minutes so far. Do yourself a favor DO NOT BUY A DODGE FROM THIS DEALER ......HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! More
I took my vehicle to Crown Dodge starting in January/2011 after Chrysler instructed me to take it to a Dodge service center if I wanted potential assistance with unresolved issues with the car. The initial p after Chrysler instructed me to take it to a Dodge service center if I wanted potential assistance with unresolved issues with the car. The initial problem was in regards to an air injection code that had been in the vehicle since a little over a month after purchasing the used 2005 Dodge Stratus. After a little over a week, I was told that my car needed a new O2 sensor and then after opening it up they found that it also needed a cadillic convertor (spelling?). I agreed to replace these parts and the problem was still not resolved and I was up to about $3,000 in repairs. About a week later my service rep told me that there was a special emissions warranty on the car and that I would have to pay for any of those repairs. My car was at Crown Dodge service center for 6 weeks. During that time I got very few updates on what was going on and I finally let them know I needed to go out of town and needed to know if I would have my car. I was told to pick it up and I drove to Nevada. When I got there, my car had an oil leak and the air pump was still staying on. I had to disconnect my battery every day to keep it from being drained by the pump. I called Sandy (my service rep) the day I arrived and she told me to bring it back when I returned. I remained there for 3 weeks and on my way home the dash was glitching (back defrost turning on and off, radio/clock turning on and off) and about half way home the odometer readings started flickering all over the place. I returned home on Saturday and took the car in Monday. I was told there were 2 oil leaks (cost almost $800) and I got those fixed. They told me the dash was flickering initially but they couldn't repeat it so come get the car and bring it back if it continues. I paid for the oil leaks (3 weeks later) and didn't even sit in my car before noticing the dash was flickering. I left the car and then was told that there was a ground issue and they were having trouble finding where it was coming from. Eventually I was told they found it and that cost me $225.00. After I picked up my car there was a loud noise coming from my engine (it was heard over my radio) and the car was still puttering at slow speeds and stops. I took my car back and Sandy advised me to take it to my mechanic to make sure it wasn't the transmission and to let her know what they say. I did that and then took it to a transmission shop, per my mechanic. They confirmed it was not the transmission and that you could clearly hear the noise form the engine. I called Sandy back and didn't get a return call so called again a few days later. I was instructed to bring my car back in to Crown Dodge, so I did and after a few days they called and told me it was a loud alternator (Sandy was not there and I got a new service advisor, Jeff). I told Jeff that I wanted to follow up with Chrysler because I didn't understand how there was a new issue with the car that wasn't there before. I also asked him about the puttering and her told me it may be a core issue inside the alternator, but they wouldn't know until they replaced it and also asked me to follow up with the service manager, David Weber, about my concerns. I left a message for David and never got a call back. I also called Chrysler and after them speaking to David, they agreed to pay for the alternator. After the repair was done, I picked up the car and to my surprise it was still puttering. I left and immediately called back to Chrysler. I also found that a rodent of some sort had been in my trunk (how I don't know) and chewed up some papers and a piece of the weather strip in my trunk. I called and spoke to Jeff on a Saturday and he asked me to leave a message for David on Monday, which I did and he again didn't call me back. Chrysler got a hold of David regarding the puttering of my car and I was asked to once again bring back my car. I did and now they are telling me it needs 4 new motor mounts and the car isn't puttering. I told Jeff not to touch the car because I wanted to follow up with Chrysler because it didn't make sense to me how it now has another repair that wasn't needed before and how the issue it has had all along that was never fixed, suddenly isn't there. He asked me to call David and I said he doesn't call me back so who else can I call. He said Stewart, a new service manager. I left a message for Stewart that Friday and surprisingly David called me back Monday. I explained to David my concerns about the recommended repairs because each time I bring it back there is something else wrong with it that wasn't there before. All he kept saying was "you need 4 motor mounts", over and over again. I told him not to touch my car and I was following up with Chrysler, which I did. My rep from Chrysler called me back after finally getting a hold of David and told me that David said they are recommending I replace the motor mounts, but based on the mileage and year of the car they didn't really have to be replaced and they weren't really worn down that bad. For this reason Chrysler said they couldn't authorize a repair that was "needed", which is why I questioned it in the first place. Chrysler has offered to send me to another dealership service center for another look. I picked up my car from Crown Dodge on Monday May 16th and attempted to file a complaint against David Weber and the woman I spoke to attempted to address my concerns by bringing David in to speak to me. This was a big waste of time, David told me good I was going to another dealership and I also let him know I had filed a complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repairs and he said "ok, good". I told him I didn't understand how my car continues to have new problems every time I bring it in and how he didn't return 1 phone call I made to him, except that morning after I left a message for someone else. He just kept shaking his head at me. Then I asked him about the weather strip in the car and he told me to have the new service center access it and call Chrysler. I said "so Chrysler is responsible for damages that happened to my car while at your service station?" and he said "yes". I said that doesn't make sense, how are they responsible for damages that happened at your service station and David said because a rat couldn't get in my trunk. I said I don't know how it happened, but the damage happened while it was at his service station and he told me to call my insurance company and file a claim. I said, ok, so now my insurance is responsible for the damages and he said yes. I said that doesn't make any sense, the damage happened at your service center and he said "I don't know what to tell you, it's an insurance issues. I told him he didn't make any sense and I needed my key. I was told it was in my car and he walked away. I continued to express my concerns with the 2 women at the counter and 1 informed me that David and another guy looked at my trunk and said it was normal wear and tear and a rodent didn't do it. I showed her the pictures I took before I cleaned the trunk (to make sure a rodent wasn't still in there) and a pillow case with the stuff that was chewed on was in my trunk for them to see (I don't know if David ever looked at it). In total I was without my car for about 13 weeks and was never offered a rental car, except for 1 weekend when I was dropped off to get my "fixed" car and had to leave it there for continued issues. I am insulted by David's lack of returning any of my calls to him and his response to any of the concerns I presented to him and my service reps. My car is still not fixed and I have to take it to another service center this upcoming week. More
