My Review of Sewell Lexus:
Note: This review is for both sales & service<br><br>I've purchased seven Lexus's from Sewell since 1990 and my experiences when the dealership was new were all great until I began to experience the emerging arrogance over the last couple years. First, regarding service, I took a brand new 2003 SC430 in for its first checkup at 1000 miles and when I came back to pick it up, the entire surface area of the vehicle (hood, roof, doors, trunk) was completely scratched. Apparently, when they washed the vehicle there was something in the bristles of the brushes that scrub the car that caused the damage. In any case, I didn't even receive an apology, but rather a simple, "we'll try to buff it out" from the service manager who acted like it wasn't a big deal at all. After bringing the car back out three times and still seeing scratches all over it, the service manager gave up on me and even tried to tell me that it was my imagination when they were all clearly visible.<br><br>I later had another terrible experience with the sales department when I went in to purchase a 2004 LS430. My salesman up until then had left the dealership, so I worked directly with the sales manager. Despite all the business I had given this dealership, I was patronized and treated with arrogance as the manager refused to take anything off the sticker price of the car. I then met with the general manager who tried to sit me down in his office and give me a lecture on how great his dealership was and why he didn't need to give me a discount on the vehicle, even if it meant losing me as a customer. Well that was all I needed to hear. In the end, I purchased the vehicle from Park Place, fed up with my experience at Sewell, for a couple thousand off MSRP the same day.<br><br>Unless you want arrogance, irresponsibility, and a lousy experience with both sales and service, don't waste your time. Stick to Park Place where I've had a far superior experience every time since. In sum, don't let the illusion of politeness when you walk in the door fool you into believing that this place is about anything more than making big money.
