Inexcusably Ignoring the Customer and Problematic Vehicle Think twice about purchasing/leasing a vehicle from Bomnin Chevrolet. On April 13, 2016, I leased a 2016 Chevrolet Impala LTZ v6. A seemingly beautifu Think twice about purchasing/leasing a vehicle from Bomnin Chevrolet. On April 13, 2016, I leased a 2016 Chevrolet Impala LTZ v6. A seemingly beautiful vehicle. On May 18, 2016, I brought the vehicle in for service. At 1,662 miles, Bomnin service found the front right brake caliper to be leaking brake fluid. The force to engage the brake pedal was also not normal. The brake system was allegedly bled, but the symptoms remained. An a/c expansion tube was replaced as it was found to be making a "hiss/vacuum leak sound." This was also allegedly repaired, but the problems persist. Mr. Isidro Bomnin, Executive Manager, offered a "swap" of the vehicle for an almost identical vehicle. Unfortunately, the "swap" vehicle had extremely jerking driving behavior. I told this to JC, Service Manager, and he explained that this happens with "electronic transmissions". So, it did not make sense to swap a problematic vehicle for another problematic vehicle. I had no less than six (6) loaner vehicles during this time. On more than one (1) occasion, I asked the service employees if I would be able to drive a Tahoe as a loaner vehicle, but I was denied. However, it was very obvious that the Spanish speaking clientele were happily given the Tahoes as loaner vehicles. The Tahoe would have been closer to the LTZ line of my vehicle. On one (1) occasion, I was shamefully issued a used Chevrolet Cruze as a loaner vehicle. It had sales signs strewn all over the windshield, including writing that was in chalk. I could hardly see as a I drove home. As I pulled away, the staff laughed at me. During another service visit, a new Chevy Malibu was given to me as a loaner vehicle. I was never told that this vehicle was to be test driven as a replacement. Unfortunately, as I drove from Palm Beach County to Miami at night, the vehicle began to make scraping noises. I stopped at the Pompano station and a road ranger said there was something wrong (maybe the transmission), and that I best tow the vehicle. I then spent hours in the tow truck cab with 2 strangers. As I arrived at the dealership, I was again made the laughing stock. On July 3, 2016, I was in contact with Isidro Bomnin. Isidro relayed to me that he would be out of town on July 4, 2016. However, Isidro assured me that Juan Miguel in sales would complete the replacement. I contacted Juan Miguel on July 4, 2016, and he denied knowing anything regarding the replacement matter. Since that time, Isidro has not returned my phone calls and has not replaced the problematic vehicle. As an aside, I met with Arnaldo Bomnin and he attempted to get me into a "new lease" with a vehicle that was on the showroom floor. Isidro had given me his word that the replacement transaction would not incur any further costs. So, this "new lease" with money demanded up front was not what was agreed upon. In addition, I met with Mr. Price, my initial salesperson. He asked me what vehicle I was interested in. I told Mr. Price I was interested in a replacement vehicle. Mr. Price pulled a Chevrolet Tahoe around and said that a base model Tahoe would do. That's the last I heard from anyone at the dealership. This situation could have been remedied back in July 2016 when Isidro Bomnin assured me that the replacement would take place without any further hitches. Instead, my phone calls, text messages, and e-mails have been ignored. Maybe Isidro will make good on his word. I have complied and brought the Impala in consistently to service. Unfortunately, it is becoming a full time job and the dealership will not pay my wages for missed time. Currently, the vehicle is leaking brake fluid in the cabin of the vehicle, including the brake pedal itself. I have attached a few pictures. It will have to be towed and I will be laughed at again. Please note that I frequently have to use a service dog due to disability. I made this clear to Isidro. Unfortunately, I was still given the smaller loaner vehicles which did not allow the service dog to fit. I hope that this unfortunate situation does not happen again. I hope the Bomnin family makes good on their assurance of a safe replacement vehicle. More

Horrible Customer Service in Service Department My complaint is with my daughter's treatment in the service department when she took her Spark for an oil change and to have two recalls taken care of My complaint is with my daughter's treatment in the service department when she took her Spark for an oil change and to have two recalls taken care of. She had been told by phone when she made the appointment that she would receive a loaner car. She was pretty much abandoned after she handed her keys to Fabian and was given a paper by him. When she went to get her belongings out of the car, she asked the gentleman who was taking her car what she was supposed to do with the paper. He didn't answer her. She waited around for two hours, thinking her loaner car would arrive any minute. Finally she asked why it was taking so long. (I would have inquired sooner, but this was all new to her.) Then she was told she was supposed to take the paper Fabian had given her to the Hertz desk to arrange for the loaner car. The Hertz guy told her she would be charged for tolls by plate unless she took the toll device from her car and put it on the loaner car - another little bit of info Fabian didn't bother to share with her. If this dealership is going to advertise great customer care, they should teach their employees how to provide it. My daughter felt very un-cared-for in the service department. More
EXCELLENT SEVICE...AS USUAL 2/15/16 Mr. Isidro Bomnin (PERSONAL) Lorenzo Bomnin Chevrolet 8455 S. Dixie Hwy. Miami, FL 33143 Dear Mr. Bomnin: Once more your service 2/15/16 Mr. Isidro Bomnin (PERSONAL) Lorenzo Bomnin Chevrolet 8455 S. Dixie Hwy. Miami, FL 33143 Dear Mr. Bomnin: Once more your service department (Dennis Martin and Layderman Villas ) in conjunction with your Service Advisor Fabian Villareal saved my day!! BACKGROUND: For the past few months I have had an extremely SERIOUS situation with my LR tire that kept loosing air constantly! Time and time again it was taken down, placed on the water tank… but it showed NO BUBLES!! Nevertheless I had to, like every 2-3 days, replaced the lost air!! Today, as frustrated as you can imagine I may be with this “unknown mystery” I was “resigned” to buy a new tire….which as you can see a bit further down on this note… it would had been a complete WASTE OF MY MONEY something I don’t quite enjoy. Finally, this morning, after a more thorough investigation by Dennis and Layderman the “culprit” was found= a little tiny nail INVISIBLE to the naked eye = MISTERY SOLVED!!. Not only this save me money, but = who knows? = a possible accident in a highway, at high speed with terrible results. I just hope that this note will show to you and them my complete appreciation for what I would like to call A JOB VERY WELL DONE !! Sincerely yours, César R.

Extremely Poor Customer Service ~~~~AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS~~~~ I'm here voice my extreme discontent at my recent experience getting my car serviced at your dealership and t ~~~~AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS~~~~ I'm here voice my extreme discontent at my recent experience getting my car serviced at your dealership and the continued lingering issues caused by - as far as I can tell, gross negligence and incompetence of your team. I saw their customer service rep responding to messages on here and contacted them directly - no response as of yet which is not surprising considering the extremely poor level of service I have received throughout this entire process. I'm sure they will respond with the same form answer to give the false appearance of even having the slightest care about their customers. I brought in my car on November 3 for service, and was told by Fabian that it would be a relatively routine and minor service and shouldn't take longer than a week. After taking almost a month I finally got my car back, this in of itself is reason for me to be upset with my service but is not the main reason I am writing this today. I am finding it difficult to describe in words just how poor the customer service I have received from the service team is. Fabian would continually give me assurances that the work would be done during a given week only to disappear and avoid my phonecalls, voicemails and attempts to reach him directly through the service dept phone number when his supposed deadlines would come and go. He would tell me that he would be coming in on Friday and Saturday to make sure work is getting done on the car for me to only find out that he didn't even show up for work those days when I spoke to other members of the service department. About half way through the service process I began receiving calls from Hertz claiming that I had not returned the loaner vehicle provided by your dealership - I raised this issue to Fabian and he told me that he took care of it. Only for me to receive the same exact call the following week and now been getting them DAILY - even after speaking with your team multiple times and given assurances that it had been taken care of. Yesterday I called trying to resolve this issue and it took me over a half hour just to get somebody on the phone who would even listen to my issue - Shantal (spelling), at the service dept who has been the lone bright spot amongst the multitude of issues I have been experiencing with your team. She attempted to get the issue resolved but mentioned that the rental team was unavailable at that time. Furthermore I asked to speak to a service manager to voice my discontent with this process - I left a message with their assistant and have yet to hear back. Not surprising considering the track record of your other employees in reaching back out to customers. I hope you can understand how upset I was when I received the same call again today from Hertz claiming I hadn't returned the vehicle - even though it has been back for almost a week now. I proceeded to deal with the same issue with your service team until getting back in contact with Shantal - who mentioned that the rental team is also unavailable at this time. At this point I feel like I have exhausted all of my reasonable options in resolving this issue short of showing up in person and demanding change - taking EVEN more time out of my work day to resolve an issue entirely created by the incompetence of Fabian and other members of the team over there. These people are dishonest, disrespectful and frankly unprofessional. I will not be doing business here again and will be making it my mission to inform others of their poor business practices. More
