I brought my vehicle in for a routine oil change, tire rotation, and inspections. Unfortunately, the service center failed at the most basic level. The oil filter was improperly installed, causing the eng rotation, and inspections. Unfortunately, the service center failed at the most basic level. The oil filter was improperly installed, causing the engine oil to drain out completely. This left my wife stranded on the side of the road late at night and caused significant oil stains on both my driveway and a friend's property. I had to have the vehicle towed back to the dealership. To his credit, the service advisor was professional, apologetic, and covered the remainder of my insurance tow bill. They cleaned the engine bay and performed the service again. Even after the "fix," the attention to detail was non-existent. When I picked up the vehicle for the second time, I checked the fluids and found that none had been topped off; my coolant was actually below the minimum line. This is despite the fact that a multi-point inspection was part of the original service. My experience soured when I spoke with the manager, Afton Caldwell. She was dismissive and lacked empathy, treating a major service failure as "no big deal." Despite the risk of long-term engine damage due to their negligence, she refused to offer a refund or an extended engine warranty. Offering a free future oil change is a hollow gesture when the trust has been completely broken. They did admit fault on the service receipt, which is the only reason for the second star. However, due to the poor management response and the safety risk involved, I cannot recommend this service center. More
Andrew and Adam were both great to work with. Incredibly professional and easy to talk to and open with information. Definitely would recommend working with these guys. Incredibly professional and easy to talk to and open with information. Definitely would recommend working with these guys. More
Isaac and Kim did a very good job. Isaac was particularly helpful answering all of our questions about the vehicle and the out of state title and registration process. As a retail bu Isaac was particularly helpful answering all of our questions about the vehicle and the out of state title and registration process. As a retail business owner, I am very aware of how hard it is to find good employees, those two are keepers for sure. More
Brought my truck in for inspection and the inspector was out for the day and couldn't get it done. Also found out that my service contract expired in 2024, of which I was not previously notified.

So, I took the truck to another shop and got the inspection done since I would have had to pay for it at Bayside anyway. More
The actual/physical service was fine. I came in for a Check Engine Lite code (low battery voltage) and a basic oil change.3.0 Hurricane Eng. I was in and out in about 75 mins. Fast servic I came in for a Check Engine Lite code (low battery voltage) and a basic oil change.3.0 Hurricane Eng. I was in and out in about 75 mins. Fast service, done right. However, I noticed the next day my debit card was charged $193.66, while my paperwork "Customer Pay" said I owed $168.02, which was more than the $139.00 I was quoted. After some investigation and deciphering the "Dealership Math" calculations in the 3 pages of service tasks/reports I came to the conclusion the actual Oil Change was $159.99 (parts, labor, supplies). After a phone call on the weekend (service dept closed), a phone call Monday morning (left a voice mail, no call back) another follow- up call Monday morning (I was prompted to use text to communicate, so I texted, (never got a return text), another follow up call to the service department (I spent about 10-15 mins w/ a technician who could not provide me why I was charged $193.66 for an oil change when the paperwork clearly stated $168.02). I made one more call to the service department at the end of my day and was put on hold waiting for a manager. After 30 mins of driving home, still on hold, I decided to detour a bit and drive to the dealership. I walked into the dealership, STILL ON HOLD and got the attention of two sales managers hanging out at the large desk on the showroom floor. At this point I was incensed. They had no idea I was on hold and the service department had closed down for the day. At this point I had decided this dealership just doesn't give a crap about customers once you take their money. I demanded a full explanation of the bill and a full refund. I felt what I had to go through to get someone's attention was well beyond what any customer should have to do to get some customer service. To get the dealership to do their job. After about 10 mins, both managers decided THEY could not explain the varied and confusing costs on the paperwork and what my card was charged, so they handed me off to yet another person/woman. I think she was part of the service department but not a technician or manager...I think she was a billing/invoicing person. She offered my $10. At that would bring my total to $183.66, STILL a far cry from the 168.02 the billing paperwork said I owed. At this point I wanted a FULL refund, 193.66 of it. I still do. Did I get an oil change, yes. After that, my customer service experience has been an absolute xxxx show. Phone calls not answered. Voice mails not returned. Texts not returned. 2 Technicians, 2 salespersons and one billing person and none of them was able to provide me an answer to why I was charged $193.66 for an oil change. Your dealership is acting exactly like the ones we all hear about, and the one I was HOPING you were not. Take your money and forget about you. Such a disappointment. I'm also looking into complaints to the BBB and other consumer groups, at the local and state level. More
