My Review of Dutchess Dodge:
Worst experience of my life with an auto dealer. Screwed me on the price and now I am upside down on the car. Cutting my losses and leasing a car to get out of the mess they got me in. Lied to me to keep me from getting my trade back. That's all I wanted. Told me one thing and fudged the numbers to do another thing. Would never recommend this dealer. They sell lemons! And they don't care. Once you sign the papers their friendly attitude is long gone.

My Review of Dutchess Dodge:
Brought my 6 year old Mitsubishi Eclipse here to make repair related to Check Engine light (Code had been read for me, for free, by Valvoline garage). Problem was an oxygen sensor. Dutchess Dodge service wanted to charge me for re-reading the code & only has their ONE Mitsubishi mechanic in the garage every other weekend, so couldn't "read" the code for me that day. (If you can only get service done on weekends, you're stuck to his schedule.)
Took car in for scheduled appointment, with them all ready knowing there was an oxygen sensor problem. They had car in service bay for OVER 2 hours. I was told car needed to "cool down" (yes, I am female. Clearly they felt they could get away with that bull.)
Then I was told they didn't have oxygen sensors in stock so needed to 'order' the oxygen sensor from Mitsubishi. Said they would call when it comes in. A week later I call them & yes its in, but the mechanic was not going to be in that weekend.
I couldn't continue to wait. So I drove 1.5 hours to a great mechanic I used to use in central Connecticut. When my awesome Connecticut mechanic opened the hood the he found that Dutchess Dodge had: 1) stripped the screw on the oxygen sensor, 2) left several things disconnected, 3) had left two bolts missing.
In short, I would NEVER again take my baby to Dutchess Dodge for servicing and would NOT recommend them to anyone.

My Review of Dutchess Dodge:
Bought a 2 year old Jeep Liberty from Dutchess Dodge. I was charged for things I never received. The price of the car was supposed to include the extra owed on my trade in and they added the trade in difference to the full price that they charged me for the car. They charged me $25 for fuel and sent me away on an empty tank. When I called to tell them, they asked me to fax the receipt and I would receive a refund. Its been 4 weeks and I still haven't received my refund. I was told the car had XM radio for 6 months and the vehicle has no XM radio. Realized 2 weeks after purchasing the vehicle that the transmission slipped and the undercarraige of the vehicle was rusted out. They offered me another vehicle on the lot. They gave a price of $18000 for a vehicle that was listed on their internet website for $13000. I asked for my trade it back and for a full refund, deciding that I didn't want to deal with a dealership that did not respect their customers. They refused. Decided to take my loses and trade the vehicle for a Honda. Found out that my title paperwork was still at the dealership 3 weeks later. When asked about it, Kim was extremely rude, and argumentative and extremely uncooperative. After contacting the owner about her unprofessional behavior, I was assured that my paperwork would be sent out immediately. Still haven't received the refund for my fuel. Would NEVER purchase another vehicle from this dealer. Would rather cut my losses and get a new car from any other dealership.

My Review of Dutchess Dodge:
I bought my new Chrysler Town & Country at Dutchess and have had them do the bulk of the servicing on this vehicle. They have been consistently kind, courteous and competent---to the point that I have made several referrals to them---most of whom have bought from them. So, all in all I am most pleased with Dutchess, and would certainly buy from them again.

My Review of Dutchess Dodge:
We had a wonderful experience with our sales person and the dealership. This is our second time buying from the dealership and would recommend it to anyone. We were not pressured to buy and felt comfortable with the experience. Next time we are in need of a car we will return to the dealership.

My Review of Dutchess Dodge:
okay so i went to trade in a 03 audi a4 which i financed 2 and a half years ago i finaced 21000 of the 28000 the car was worth. when i went to dutchess dodge to look at a 15000 dodge charger 06. i was told my trade in the 3000 plus i was going to put down on the new vechicle plus financing would cost me more then 450/month. the payment on MY AUDI for 24000 was 415/month at 6%. I thought that this was absolutly ridic. by the way its probably because im a 23yr old kid i guess dodge and chysler really dont need to be in business anymore so please stop taking my tax dollars if your going to treat me like SHIT!


P.S. i strongly suggest that no one of any age deal with these people because the ron person who might be the owner made a comment to me and my girlfriend about "im a billionairne and i wouldnt make a deal thats not going to benefit me so keep looking" well your still a douche bag!! billionaire my ass not with service like that.

My Review of Dutchess Dodge:
After being a customer for 10+ years due to a family connection, they wrote up a 15K lease and slipped me a 12K lease to make it look like a great deal. My bad, I didn't catch it and I ran $1,000 over the mileage. The salesman offered to "make it right" by paying the difference but after 2 months "the check is in the mail."

Showed me they care more about short term profit than any repeat customer, and I would NEVER go back to them.

I could get the same price anywhere else in the valley, and their service desk is nasty.

My Review of Dutchess Dodge:
Took delivery of a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica on 2/27/04. Approx 3/25/04 we tried the A/C being we planned a trip to S.C. on 4/3/04. When the A/C was turned on , only ambient air blew out. took it back to our sales team and they agreed something was wrong and an appt was made for service. Dutchess Dodge called and told us &quot;WE HAD AN ACCIDENT&quot; with it , the condenser was punctured and they(Chrysler) would not warrantee the service. WHAT??? This $36,000.00 car was only 4 weeks old with 1700 miles on it. We have NO DOUBT this damage was present BEFORE we purchased the vehicle. This type of poor customer service confirmed ALL THE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK we got...UNFORTUNATELY after our purchase. This took every bit of excitement out of owning this beautiful car...it's now just another car with a problem. <br> I will give credit where credit is due, the purchase experience was a pleasure...too bad the service SUCKS!<br>SHAME ON YOU DUTCHESS DODGE!!!!!!!!!

This experience of poor customer service confirms all the negative we later heard of this dealer...unfortunately after the purchase. This experience also took away ALL the joy and excitement of buying this new car...it's just another car with a problem!<br> I will give credit where credit is due, the &quot;purchase experience&quot; was a pleasure! Too Bad the service sucks!
