My Review of Elkins Chevrolet:
In Oct. 04 we bought a 2000 Malibu fthat was supposed to be "GM CERTIFIED" from this dealer. It was in the shop 80% of the time in the 45 days we owned the car. We finally get them to let us trade the car in because they could not get the car fixed properly. We agreed on a 2001 Buick Regal, another so called "GM CERTIFIED" car. Well let me tell you EVERY used GM car on their lot is "certified" I am now stuck with another one of their pieces of junk and I just tryied to trade back to them for a BRAND NEW Equinoa and they offered me HALF of what is owed on the car. They raked us over the coals when we got them to take back the Malibu. I was missing more time from work than the monthly payment costed. DON'T BUY USED FROM ELKINS CHEVROLET>

My Review of Elkins Chevrolet:
First off, I went to them to buy a 2000 monte carlo SS new and got a good deal about $1000 less then listed and I bought it outright with no financing. I went back to them 2 years later to buy a 2nd used car. A 1999 grand am gt. First, they had it listed for 12800. The sales guy told me the price was 16500!! I showed him the internet price list and he said "oh sorry". Now I needed finacing; salesman told me my credit was horrible, but I knew my credit score was above 750. So I got him to agree with 6.9% with no money down and shook on it. Now mysteriously my contract got changed to 7.95% and I didnt catch that. But it gets better, after I broke down the finance charge it was actually 8.095% WTF, TOTAL RIPOFF. Its my fault becasue I was young and it was the 1st car I financed by myself; so I learned from my mistakes; but when I discovered it the dealer told me "sorry you should of checked the contract better b4 you signed" But still a dealership shouldnt be doing that to a local, return customer. Oh and one more thing. I discovered about a year later that the grand am I bought was in a serious car accident that wasnt listed on Carfax, and the dealer told me it had never been in an accident. It was the Elkins in Pitman, stay away.
