Central Buick GMC

STILL having A LOT of problems. I had previously posted about not buying from this dealership, after having to get the state involved. I went for an oil change after "all" of the pro I had previously posted about not buying from this dealership, after having to get the state involved. I went for an oil change after "all" of the problems were fixed. My mechanic told me that the right control arm was not safe and that the front tire shook, which was one of the main reasons I got the state involved. I was told I would not pass inspection. I began having issues with my brakes, which of course is scary. I was told I would need new rotors, which the dealership was supposed to replace when I bought the vehicle. I don't know about a lot of other people, but it is not often that I hear from anyone else that they need to do as much work on a vehicle within such short periods of time. I see a lot of reviews on here about false car fax reports, which I will now be looking into, as my car jolts back and forth when I try to break, and no mechanic has EVER felt this in a car before. I also agree with all of the other reviews regarding poor customer service. They blame you for the problems, and do not accept their faults. I would not allow them to inspect your vehicle, as they passed mine with 4-5 safety issues. I also brought my vehicle back 3+ times regarding the tire pressure light coming on, which they frequently told me was resolved, and I continue to have issues with the tire, where I need to inflate it every two weeks, and the system to read the tire pressure does not read one of the tires. Thank you for all of the problems Buick/GMC. More

Not worth your time My husband and I recently attempted to purchase our new vehicle from Central Buick GMC. Our sales consultant was Barney Freedline and we also worked My husband and I recently attempted to purchase our new vehicle from Central Buick GMC. Our sales consultant was Barney Freedline and we also worked with Brian Hayes. We found this dealership to lack in communication skills, attention to details and honesty. It took them two weeks to locate our vehicle in the color we preferred (black) but were able to secure it from a location in New York. Two hours before we were expected to pick it up, we received a call to tell us that the vehicle they had gotten was the wrong color. Because we had been feeling disappointed with the process, the communication and the way we were being treated, we decided to move on and look elsewhere. After visiting a different dealership that very day, they were able to secure a vehicle (locally) in our color choice. Three days later, we signed the papers and drove it off the lot. In conversations with the new dealership, we came to realize that many of the details Norwood shared with us about the vehicle were not accurate. I'm not sure if they lack knowledge about their profession or if they will tell you anything to make a deal but I personally think it's a bit of both. I strongly urge you to find a different dealership. More

Do NOT buy from here! Was back 4-5 times for work within 3 months of buying car, they changed my warranty status, and charged me for work. My mechanic asked if the car sat Was back 4-5 times for work within 3 months of buying car, they changed my warranty status, and charged me for work. My mechanic asked if the car sat in a flood. Had to fight everything. Eventually got the state involved, who immediately failed my car. The worst dealership! More

They lied to us and overcharged My husband and I went to this dealership to buy a car we asked for a carfax and were not given one. We asked if the car had been in an accident and we My husband and I went to this dealership to buy a car we asked for a carfax and were not given one. We asked if the car had been in an accident and we were told it had not. 3 months later we had an issue with a windshield replacement it took 3 windshields to stop the leak which was when we found out we had been lied too the car had been in an accident and we are now over paying for a car that is not worth half of what we are paying for it. In the 6 months we have had the car there have been nothing but problems and no one seems to want to do anything about it. Their Get Centralized warranty that supposedly comes with throw used cars is a joke and their own service department had never even heard of it!!! These people are a bunch of crooks and no one should go there!!!! More

Worst experience! I was leasing a 2011 hyundai and wanted to get rid of it. I had gone to a previous buick dealer but they didn't have the the color and wheels I liked but the price was reasonable so I thoug to get rid of it. I had gone to a previous buick dealer but they didn't have the the color and wheels I liked but the price was reasonable so I thought central would be the same! I was wrong! The payments were gonna be $100 a month higher! Mark passed me off to the guy Des. He was helpful but he clearly was being overly nice so he could get the sale. We were there for 5 hours!!!!! After the sales manager was really rude and clueless I finally walked out! Stay away from central buick they time eating and unfriendly. More

Long story short purchased a car from them about a 1 yr ago they promised to refund me for my cab ride(60.00) no big deal. Every time I called and asked about it they said you have to talk to Dennis , whom ago they promised to refund me for my cab ride(60.00) no big deal. Every time I called and asked about it they said you have to talk to Dennis , whom by the way was never there. I ask is there someone that can make a decision, they acted like I was out of line. Now the part that makes it worse is that to this day they send me emails and want to know if I'm interested in buying a car. Really I'm in sales and to not what is going on in your store or even trying to resolve issues shows that they don't care. I will not recommend this dealer Thanks Peter Porzio More

I'm not even sure where to start on this review; from the classic bait and switched pulled by their online sales team to the horrendous post sale customer service I really don't have much nice to say abo the classic bait and switched pulled by their online sales team to the horrendous post sale customer service I really don't have much nice to say about this place. I purchased a 2013 GMC Terrain from these folks just about a month ago. I was lured in with an online ad. I called the dealership when I found the car I wanted, they said I was in luck they still had it. I drove there immediately (20 mins) and when I got there I was told it had sold yesterday. They offered me a look at some "similar" cars. By similar they mean same make, model, step down trim, more miles, but the same price. My sales kid "Kevin" was new on the job. He was eager to assist and although he did have some product knowledge he would show over the next few weeks of hassles and disappointments that he either wasn't empowered, hadn't fully learned how to take care of a customer, or suffered from memory loss. After the bait and switch I did agree to buy another model car, mostly based on a fair offer from acquisition manager Bill on my trade in. I had many concerns about the car they wanted me to take all of which were outlined in a "we owe" paper they gave me on purchase. Minor scratches, a couple little dents, a pretty significant slit on the tailgate were all promised to be taken care of. Since the car was not yet in inventory they told me I couldn't take it that day, which would give them time to take care of the issues. Buff out the scratches, re-paint the tailgate, etc. Two days later they called me for the pick up. What a disappointment. Not one thing that was on the "we owe" list was taken care of. My sales kid Kevin was off that day and the joker that was handling the pick up was useless to say the least. After a bunch of so called "managers" passed the buck I finally told them I wasn't taking the car. Tim the business manager came out and was sympathetic to my concerns. Note: I also had beef with Tim as he tried to wax me for an interest rate about 2% higher than my bank offered me than quickly was able to drop it down once I had the other offer. Funny how that works. Tim said he would make me an appointment to get the problems fixed in the body shop but had more bad news... they forgot to register the car and they had no plates for me. Clearly I was upset to he problem solved by giving me dealer plates so I could take the car until my appointment a week later. I drove off to find out my XM radio was never activated nor was my OnStar, also I only received one key for this car. When I arrived back for my appointment the next week they still had no plates for me. Acquisition manager Bill got me set up and put me in a rental car for a couple days while the body shop worked on my new ride. Note: If you're a competitor you should swoop in on the Acquisition Manager, he appears to be the only guy in that place that is reliable. A couple days later I got a call from the body shop that the car was ready. I called Sales Kid Kevin and told him he better double check that all the stuff was done before I came down to get the car. He called me back with bad news, the tailgate was painted but nothing else was done. I also asked him where my second key was, he told me it was lost but he was looking for it. Kevin set me up with a THIRD appointment to pick up my car but this time he informed me they could not offer me a rental car for the day. I secured a rental car out of pocket and left my car with the key in it to be fixed on the day of my THIRD appointment. Around 1pm I got a call from Kevin... "The Dent Wizard" called out sick, my car would not be fixed today after all. I told Kevin I wasn't renting another car for my fourth appointment and he could drive up to my office to get the car himself. Also I asked for the status on the second key... he said they couldn't find it and I was basically out of luck. I thought... maybe the "Dent Wizard" could conjure up a spell to locate that missing key but since he was out sick and didn't leave his wand at the office I knew that wouldn't be an option. I told Kevin he better get me a second key, when you buy a car it comes with two keys. He said he didn't know what to do, I told him to call a locksmith. The next day Kevin showed up at my office and picked up my car, apparently the "Dent Wizard" was able to get some magic elixir that cured his mysterious ailment and made it to work. Kevin boasted that it only took him 10 minutes to fix the dent! Would have been nice if he spent that 10 minutes 3 weeks prior when I bought the car instead of trying to pull a disappearing act on their responsibilities. Kevin finally came through on something, he had the second key. Just when I thought I was done with these book worms for good, I got a letter in the mail from my insurance company. The plates on my trade in car had never been turned in and I would be on the hook for two insurance premiums for two cars this month. 1 that I owned, 1 that Central Buick GMC Owned. I called Central and got passed around on the phone, left a voicemail, and asked to speak to a manager. The guy (who I am almost certain is the internet sales manager) hung up on me mid sentence when I was trying to tell him I already left a voicemail for the person he was trying to transfer me too. Note: this guy is a stereotypical used car slime type, probably responsible for the original bait and switch. Also he has a super creepy beard, and probably sells no window vans on the side. Finally 26 days after I bought a car and traded in mine, Central Buick GMC turned in the plates on my trade in. I do like the GMC Terrain, I would recommend it to shoppers. However I would recommend you go elsewhere to another dealership to make your purchase. More
