We bought our car from Dondelinger and for two and a half - jdpuzzle

We bought our car from Dondelinger and for two and a half years it worked as expected and then one day when I went to start it I found the battery was dead. I had no way of telling how old the battery was so I bought a new one and 3 days later it was dead. Thinking that it might be defective I took the battery back where I bought it and they exchanged for another new one and 3 days later it was dead. I took the car to Dondelinger and they found an electrical component was faulty, they replaced it and after paying the bill for $630.51 we took the car home, Three days later the battery was dead. During this time, while on the road the voltmeter read 12.2 most of the time. We were going to use the car and when I hooked up the battery charger there was a bang inside the car. When I looked in the car window I saw the glove compartment door had dropped down and the light was on and I did not do this. When we used the car after this the voltmeter showed 14.8 –15.1. I hoped our troubles were over but the battery, once again was dead in 3 days..So we took the car back to Dondelingers once again and they checked out our electrical system and could find nothing wrong. Your mechanics took every fuse out, one at a time, and checked each circuit and could find nothing out of tolerance. My multameter show a battery loss of between .4 and .5 of a volt per day. To prevent the destruction of our battery we bought a trickle charger and hook it up every time we come home. I hope the problem can be solved next time we bring the car in.

We have a 2017 Chevy Trax. - cpranch55

We have a 2017 Chevy Trax. Bought new in November 2017. It came with a 3 year 36,000 bumper to bumper warrantee and a 5 year 60,000 powertrain warrantee. Last month we had to take Kellys dad to an appointment in Bemidji, MN, a 70 mile one way drive. Coming off the four lane to the stoplight the oil light came on and the car talked to me saying "low oil pressure, shut down!" There was a Chevy dealer about a mile away, Dondelinger Chevrolet and I nursed the car to within a 1/4 mile. I could go on but the end of this is I spent $250 on motel rooms and $1,372 to get our car back because Dondelinger said it wasn't covered under warrantee. When we got home I went to Grand Rapids GM where we've had all the service done since new. Oil and filter every 3,000 miles, new tires, turbo fixes (covered under warrantee) and showed them the Dondelinger invoice and the said and SHOWED me on the computer it should have been covered under the powertrain warrantee. Called GM customer service to have them help. After three weeks they said they could do nothing and offered me a $100 discount on any further services. So I'm done with GM/Chevrolet, and I hope anyone who may in the future be looking at buying any of their cars remembers this, THEY LIED TO ME!!!

Very excellent service. - Amyjo

I am very happy with the service I have gotten at Dondelinger! Very customer oriented and friendly staff! They helped me in a timely fashion and was courteous as I was waiting!

I boughtr a 2004 X-type in o4'. At 22,000 miles the clutch failed completely...The response from the`dealership? It was my fault and no warranty would be honored. I've driven competitively in the` past and I have a 99' 911 with 56,000 miles on it. The clutch and transmission were gone` over in April at my request. The result? The clutch tension was essentially the same as when I bought the vehicle. I and my partners purchase new business vehicles every 2 1/2 years. This year we'll be visiting the nearest Audi dealership for A-6s or A-8s. Stay away from this bunch of scam artists.

Just wanted to leave a bit of a more personal review I recently bought a truck From Tom and Mike at the shakopee drive appeal location I don't have the best credit and was pretty stressed out with the whole car shopping experience and at that point honestly pretty doubtful I was going to be approved for anything decent, let alone a newer lower mileage truck. I felt at ease with Tom right away no pressure he let me go through all the trucks pointing out pros and cons of each I could tell right away he was a straight shooter. They stayed late to get the best deal from the lenders it was seriously like it was meant to be. Mike and Tom beat down the lender's on the phone securing me a payment less than I thought at an interest rate less than I could have ever hoped for. Then at the last minute I was a little short getting insurance and again like a miracle Tom and Mike worked it out. I feel truly blessed to have met Tom that day. I really appreciate the diligence and effort put forth on my behalf and I absolutley love my new truck!!Thank you So much!!! I highly recommend stopping in and asking for Tom Shawn W.

I have owned my vehicle for 7 years now, and am always satisfied with the service I receive from Eich Motors. This last visit was a perfect example of why; Jason in Service went above and beyond as always to work with me and explore every option available for fixing my Passat, as he knows I am working with a limited budget. Once I decided on the repairs, the service was completed quickly, actually exceeding my expectations. The service and parts depts are always very friendly and willing to help, and I love that they take the time to make sure my questions are answered thoroughly, and also that they follow up with me a couple days later to make sure that everything is satisfactory.

Amazing - Meagan Bieniek

I keep on posting my review in different places because I want everyone to know how great they are! I was completely satisfied with my service. I have a 2003 VW Passat wagon and I thought we had a blown head gasket - my car had billowing white smoke after I warmed up my car while idling. Anyways I live near Wayzata, about an hour and twenty minutes away, and I called about 15 or so local mechanics and the prices I was getting was astronomical. Even small town mechanics were going to charge me a fortune. My dad lives in St. Cloud and after he called a few shops he decided to call Eich. We didn't think we'd get a much better price because it was a deal but boy we're we wrong. Their estimate was between $500 to $1000 less than the 20 shops we called. The day I brought my car in they gave me awesome customer service. We called Monday morning, got my car in Monday evening. They had a loaner car for me that day. They let me keep the loaner until the weekend when it would be easier for me to return the car due to the long distance I drove to get there. They ending up finding out it wasn't a head gasket but I was leaking radiator fluid and had a few other issues. They called me multiple times a day with updates. When I went to pickup my car it was washed, fluids were topped off. I had friendly service. I couldn't ask for more from a dealership. I will continue to make the hour and twenty drive to St. Cloud to receive the amazing customer service I did here. My VW appreciates all the hard work provided by this company. THANK YOU!!!
