My Review of Midway Chevrolet:
While the initial salesman (Steve) and initial sales manager (Alva) provided for a somewhat pleasant experience, the sales manager we encountered when writing up our contract, Gary, was rude and unprofessional. I visited the dealership at 4pm with another quote in hand. I simply wanted to compare prices to see if this dealer could beat my existing offer. I spoke with Alva and was assured that they could. We negotiated a price and would only need to complete the paperwork when my husband arrived after work. My husband left work early to meet me there. When he arrived, neither the car nor paperwork was ready for us. In fact, we were presented with the wrong vehicle 4 times. Once we looked at the correct vehicle, we were offered a very low price for our trade in. We had researched blue book value and new the worth. We were simply looking for something fair. We opted to sell the car ourselves. We were then offered a price higher than our original quote. It was adjusted by deferring the fee for tags and registration. Gary came with the contract and presented paperwork only to my husband and we are joint applicants. Even so, we began the paperwork process at about 9pm. At 9:30 (I had been there 5.5 hrs), Gary claimed that items we originally negotiated would not be included with the vehicle. When we explained the original terms, he refused to check with the previous manager, even though we never discussed the transaction with Gary. We chose to leave the dealership and will tell everyone we know to boycott them as well. We are a young couple with a generous income. Had our experience been good, Midway may have sold us several cars over our lifetime. Now, we will take our business elsewhere. It is also interesting to note that this dealership performed the worst at the recent Tempe Memorial Day tent event. The owner, Steve explained, has recently moved himself in to this location to supervise. I wonder why...
