Bad Experience Turned to Excellent Experience!! My experience with Joe Machens Jeep. Last year I saw the Jeep Renegade “Dawn of Justice” package come into the market. I made inquiries online with JM My experience with Joe Machens Jeep. Last year I saw the Jeep Renegade “Dawn of Justice” package come into the market. I made inquiries online with JMJ and got a quick response from one of the Sales Advisor’s (will not mention name as it does not impact the entire team). I spoke with the Advisor on the phone and told him my background information and the response I received was “just come in”. So I did, I again laid it all on the table again. After approximately 3 hours my wife and I started to walk out and the advisor asked where we were going. I explained and the response was “we can’t do a deal anyways”. Thursday July 28th, 2016 I was checking the Joe Machens website and saw that they had the Jeep Renegade “Dawn of Justice” package again. So, again I inquired online about the vehicle. I received an email from the same Advisor as before and another Advisor. I chose to go with the other advisor Glenn Patterson. Friday July 29th, 2016 Glenn had called and left a message on my machine which was professional and detailed. I called Glenn back and explained to him my situation. Glenn was upfront with me but said he will work hard to get a deal done for me and to come in when I was available. I arrived at JMJ at 1:00PM and met with Glenn and he was very professional and courteous. We spoke about our situation and Glen said he will work hard for me and he did. He not only worked hard for me, he worked hard for another customer too. Glenn pushed for a deal that would be as close to my request as possible. Glenn acted as my representative towards JMJ for the best deal possible. After all of Glenn’s hard work, he introduced me to Heath Connell, Business Manager. Heath told me that he had worked really hard on my deal with Glenn and was only able to come up with one resolve. Heath explained in detail why that was the only deal he could do and did not pressure me at all to make the deal but showed me more positives than the negatives. I chose to accept the deal even though it was not 100% what I was hoping for financially but Heath assured me that JMJ will stand by their customers and he can help me in the future. I drove away in the vehicle I was waiting for almost a year. All thanks to Glenn Patterson and Heath Connell!!!!! I want to thank Glenn Patterson and Heath Connell for making my bad experience in the past as if it never happened!!!!! They both were professional, courteous, honest, knowledgeable, and respectful!!!!! I will continue to do business with Joe Machens Jeep for as long as I can. I also want to say that Glenn and Heath are examples of what team work is and the entire team should not be rejected from one bad experience. Thanks Guys!!!!! More

Made buying a Jeep a pleasure! I worked with Orion Ferreira at Joe Machens in buying my first Jeep about a month ago and was very impressed! I was intimidated at first admittedly, I worked with Orion Ferreira at Joe Machens in buying my first Jeep about a month ago and was very impressed! I was intimidated at first admittedly, as Jeeps have such a solid reputation but also often seem to come with a high price point. But Orion clearly did his research and was able to not only find a newer Jeep than what I had originally expected to purchase (a 2012 Compass when I had been looking at Patriots from around 2008-2009) but also found me one with 4x4 and extra features all at my required price point! The sales process was painless, my trade in was handled well, and a minor problem with the car was fixed quickly prior to me taking the vehicle. All in all, I can give only the highest recommendation to the Joe Machens staff, and particularly to Orion whose attention to my needs, exceptional attitude, and eagerness to address concerns would definitely bring me back to Machens in the future. Thanks, guys! More

Chris S. Rocks thanks for helping me!! With being my first car purchase I was very nervous about it but Chris S made sure I understand everything and if I didn't he broke it down for me. He With being my first car purchase I was very nervous about it but Chris S made sure I understand everything and if I didn't he broke it down for me. He worked the number just right so I was able to get a 2013 fusion in my price range. Chris is not a typical pushy car sales person, he listens to what you tell him. I can say that I am more then 100% happy with my new car. Thank you Chris S for not being that pushy car sales men. More

Parts/Service - YES. Sales - NO. This is the only Jeep dealership in the area, so I am forced to take my Jeep here for service. And so far, I am very happy - knowledgeable, friendly p This is the only Jeep dealership in the area, so I am forced to take my Jeep here for service. And so far, I am very happy - knowledgeable, friendly people, reasonable rates, and they have what's needed. In terms of parts or service, I would recommend this dealership easily. The sales department, though... ...if what my daughter and I went through is a fair representation, I wouldn't go near this place with a ten-foot pole. My daughter was in town and wanted to drive some vehicles to make a better choice when she buys a car in the near future. I've been in the dealership enough times, and I figured this would be relatively easy. Also, we had just come from another Machens dealership (Machens Mitsu/Mazda/Fiat) where we had a wonderful experiences. First of all, it was HOT. And I can understand if sales people don't want to wait outside. We pulled up, got out of the car, and looked around. No one around. So we went in and looked for a salesperson. We were never greeted, and apparently we had taken our invisible pills - even while walking around the sales area, no one asked if we needed anything. So, we went out and started looking at a 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye, parked in the front row, in plain sight of the building. It was open, so we started crawling all over it (in the searing heat) as I showed her all the features, including under the hood and the trunk. A couple of times I looked at the dealership window (where a yellow Viper is in display under its own room) and waved my arms frantically for someone, anyone, to come out and help us. When no one did, we went in the sales door, and Louis Finigan came up to us (never introduced himself; the only way I know his name is that your website includes pictures) and asked if we needed help. I said, "Yes; we'd like to test drive a car!" He said that he'd get a sales person, and in a few minutes came back with Ed Still in tow. He did introduce himself (and shook hands, something Louis didn't do), and asked us to follow us to his cubicle. He pulled out chairs, we sat down, and he said, "So, you're wanting to drive a car - a minivan?" We both found that VERY offputting - just because you're dealing with a young woman in a sundress, don't expect her to need a minivan! Strike one. He then started asking for information. We explained why we were there, and made it clear that we were not purchasing anything that day - we were there so my daughter could test-drive a car. He asked her for her phone number, and when she said she was not comfortable giving that out, he said that it was company policy that they needed a phone number and email address for a test drive. We could look at cars without it, but would not drive a car unless that information was given. REALLY? We just went to another dealership IN THE MACHENS FAMILY and were never asked for that information until AFTER the test drive! STRIKE TWO. She furnished her mother's home phone number. We told him what car we were looking at, and he said he would get the keys and bring it to the door, even after we said it was right in front of the dealership. After about ten minutes, we went outside, in the heat, to look for Ed. He had passed the car, and apparently didn't have the right key. So it was time for him to play the "use the panic button as a locator" game. We finally heard it down the hill. He turned to us and said, "Well, that one's buried. I'll go get a key for another one. Come on back in." Really, Ed? You don't know your inventory enough that you have to search around with the panic button on a key fob? I even showed him which car we wanted to look at. That apparently had no meaning to him - he could have written down the VIN and got the key from that. But apparently Ed doesn't work that way. There was no way I was going to back in the dealership and have someone who obviously didn't give a xxxx waste my time, and especially my daughter's. Just because you aren't going to make a sale today doesn't mean you have to treat us badly. STRIKE THREE. YOU'RE OUTA HERE. And after ten more minutes, waiting outside for Ed, so were we. As we walked over to our car, I noticed three salespeople - including Louis Finigan- gathered around a golf cart. As I drove off, I rolled down the window and said, "Please tell Ed we left." Louis responded by saying, "NO PROBLEM!" I'll go back there for service. Buying a car? I'm going somewhere else. More
