After a disappointing routine maintenance service in Dec. 2021 I can no longer recommend this dealership. Simple work was done poorly or wrong. I had made an appointment for my three-year-old car and requ 2021 I can no longer recommend this dealership. Simple work was done poorly or wrong. I had made an appointment for my three-year-old car and requested an oil change and a brake fluid flush. These items were required based on the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual. Upon check-in the service advisor wanted to add tire rotation. I told him that the car has different size tires in front and rear and he cannot switch front and rear positions, but he said they can still swap left and right. When I came back to pick-up the car, the service advisor was not able to provide a copy of the work order, so I asked him what work had been completed. When he didn’t mention the brake fluid flush, I asked him why that was not done, his answer was “Because the car doesn’t need it.” That was wrong. First, the manufacturer requires it every three years. Second, brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air over time, which lowers its boiling point and may reduce the ability to stop the car when brakes get hot. This is especially critical when cars, like mine, use the DOT4 brake fluid. We agreed to make a new appointment for the brake flush. A couple days later I noticed that the tire pressure display in the car showed odd numbers. I manual measured the tire pressure with a gauge and the pressure values did not match to the display in the car. I checked the tires and realized that the shop had indeed switched the different size tires between front and rear. I now had the wide tires in the front and the narrow tires in the back. On a side note, the smaller tires are not designed to carry the load at the rear axles. That means, if an accident happened and a passenger was injured, the court would rule this as a result of negligence by the dealership. In addition, they put too much oil in the engine after the oil change. When I checked, the oil level was significantly above the maximum limit on the dip stick. The second appointment was no better. When I picked up the car the (same) service advisor felt the need to confirm that the tires had been rotated back into the correct position. When inspecting the tire sidewall markings he concluded, that the tires were still not in the correct position and went off to get a technician to rotate the tires. While I waited for their return I checked the tires myself. The tires were actually in the correct position, just that the service advisor didn’t know how to read the tire size correctly or misread it. Luckily, I could prevent them from doing the same mistake again. In addition, I saw at home, that the technician had missed to top off the brake fluid in the reservoir after performing the brake fluid flush. It is concerning that this service department does not pay more attention to safety relevant components like tires and brakes. Finally, also at the second appointment, the service advisor was unable to give me a copy of the work order, which lists what maintenance was done. I never had that problem with a car dealer’s service department before. More
Owner of 3 Cadillacs, always used them for service (bc they were the only dealer in the area for a long time) cand honestly say I will never get anything fixed there again. When there bc my break lamp was they were the only dealer in the area for a long time) cand honestly say I will never get anything fixed there again. When there bc my break lamp wasn't working. In less than a year the lamp was out again. And here we are 2yrs later and I'm still dealing with the same issue. Not sure if it's bad parts or bad work but the folks there sure don't care. If you need work done I would steer clear of them, as I was told, it's not their problem More
When called to schedule an appt for an oil change, I asked for the latest appt (4:30). The advisor I spoke with said that was fine, I then asked her if my XTS would be washed afterwards, as it always h asked for the latest appt (4:30). The advisor I spoke with said that was fine, I then asked her if my XTS would be washed afterwards, as it always had been at the Cadillac dealer we purchased it from and the previous dealer we had it serviced from in Mooresville. She said of course it would be as that's normal for a Cadillac dealer. I took the car in and got an attitude from the gentleman that checked it in ( I guess because it was 4:30). After he just left me standing in the office, I found my way to waiting area. 45 minutes later another gentleman came an got me. $92 later ( which is $20 more than we've ever paid) the car was done. I asked the guy where it was and he pointed out back. Other dealerships have the car is pulled backed in. I walk out and no wash, just a piece of plastic and a paper mat for me to throw away. My wife called and spoke to I believe Steve Bell, he said he would look into it. He then offered a refund (not sure how much) if my wife could get the card number that I used. He was supposed to call back on 8/9/21 but never did. I really expected more from this particular dealership considering the ownership. More

This dealership has put a brand new engine in my 2011 Yukon denai without my authorization and is asking 11,000 and has shut my SUV business down . Spoke with manager and he takes no responsibility in t Yukon denai without my authorization and is asking 11,000 and has shut my SUV business down . Spoke with manager and he takes no responsibility in this mistake. And blames me with threats of selling my vehicle to get payment . They have had my SUV for months. Not even giving me my tag . Getting action 9 involved now . Do work with no signature from . Put an brand new no mileage engine in my 2011 Yukon is ridiculous without a deposit makes no sense. I promise I'm not going to lay down and let this happen. More
I bought a used Lexus from this dealership and I cannot say enough about their SUPERIOR SERVICE. I dealt with Steven Bell and Jaren, who was a brand new salesperson. Every single thing they both did was be say enough about their SUPERIOR SERVICE. I dealt with Steven Bell and Jaren, who was a brand new salesperson. Every single thing they both did was beginning to end was professional, polite and knowledgeable. The car I ended up buying had previously been with another dealership. I passed on making the purchase there because of the 2 gentleman I was dealing with there. I can not say enough about THIS dealer!! 5++ More
I used to live in the Charlotte area, and I always had my 2008 Cadillac CTS serviced at Cadillac of South Charlotte. It was always a great experience. While I now live a couple of hours away, I needed to get 2008 Cadillac CTS serviced at Cadillac of South Charlotte. It was always a great experience. While I now live a couple of hours away, I needed to get some repairs done to this same Cadillac and I made the trip to Cadillac of South Charlotte. I have worked with Jeff Hathcock for years, and he has been a tremendous resource in helping me to get the best out of my ownership experience. In the last instance, I needed the Sun roof to be resealed, new front brake pads, and an air bag sensor replaced. Jeff and the Service team made the repairs and it was a great experience, even if the Cadillac repairs can be somewhat expensive at times. I can say that in 8 years, I never had to take the 2008 CTS back because a repair or maintenance work was not done correctly. These people KNOW Cadillac. The facility is also nice, and you can get a cup of coffee and accomplish a few things using their Wifi. I can imagine in the auto repair and maintenance business, you cannot make everyone happy all of the time, but I believe these folks sure try to make that happen. Thank You! More
I moved to NC a few weeks ago and needed a car rather quickly. Steven Bell reached out to me via a facebook post, and a few days later I have my car. The experience could not have gone better.
