My Review of Greenway Dodge Chrysler Jeep:
I had to find a different Chrysler dealer since the one I used was closed during Chrysler’s bankruptcy proceedings.
I drove my 2000 Chrysler Cirrus, with 42000 miles, for the first time to Greenway’s Dodge and Chrysler Service Dept for a ‘checkup’ and oil change.
I was told I needed new spark plugs and I agreed. Then the mechanic noticed oil leaking into the spark plug area.
“REPLACED 2 VALVE COVER GASKETS, TUBE SEALS, AND PCV VALVE” and I agreed to the charges to stop the leak.
I drove the car home and the motor sounded great. After a few days, I noticed a large amount of oil had leaked onto the garage floor.
I have had the car for nine years and NEVER a drop of oil on the garage floor before this.
I knew something must have not been replaced correctly and drove back to Greenway Service where I was told the leak could not be coming from the repair they just made.
I waited my turn to have the car rechecked and late that afternoon I was told it definitely was not from the repair they just made but was from a different place, the “REAR CAM COVER”.
I was then informed that will be an additional $1,015.00. What? I have heard of many tactics used to scam senior citizens and I felt I was caught up in one.
Remember, not a drop of oil in nine years and now I get a big leak in a different place from where they repaired? They took me to my car and showed oil all over the engine.
I was reduced to believing them and agreed to the additional work since I didn’t want more oil on the garage floor. I couldn’t sleep that night. I knew I had been taken.
The next morning I received a call from Tom and he informed me that Xavier, the mechanic, had put dye in the oil over night and verified the leak was from the original work “THE VALVE COVER GASKET” which they had just repaired and not form the “REAR CAM COVER”. Therefore, I would not have to pay an additional $1,015.00 and they would repair their original work for free.
I could not believe my ears, an auto repair shop apologizing, admitting they had made a mistake?
Thank you Tom and Xavier for being honest, Greenway now has a new customer.
