Central Houston Cadillac

The term "BAIT AND SWITCH" is EXACTLY WHAT THIS DEALERSHIP PRACTICES. As with so many of the other reviewers I too had the exact same thing happen to me, I was lured in by a "market value" price fo DEALERSHIP PRACTICES. As with so many of the other reviewers I too had the exact same thing happen to me, I was lured in by a "market value" price for a used truck. Only to find an additional $6,995 for a "non-negotiable" fee for "extended service" (Cadillac Care) added to the sales price of the truck. I did ask that it be removed and was told "non-negotiable". I have added another F review with the BBB on this dealership. However, there have been so many people who have filed similar complaints with this dealership, as recent as 2 days ago and at least 9 years back with the same issue I am sure the dealership believes this is the way to treat potential customers. Unless you want to have a frustrating and loss of a day of time, I highly recommend you find another dealer as will I. More

This review reflects my experience with the PRE-OWNED car sales department. I found a vehicle online that was advertised at a very attractive “below market value” price. I visited the dealership, test drove sales department. I found a vehicle online that was advertised at a very attractive “below market value” price. I visited the dealership, test drove the car, and began negotiations. Unfortunately, that’s when the experience started to unravel. After agreeing on the advertised price, an additional $7,000 was added under “Cadillac Care” and a vague “government fees” category. The Cadillac Care package appeared to be essentially a powertrain warranty — something that can typically be purchased independently for far less from a reputable third-party provider. These add-ons were not clearly disclosed upfront. After several rounds of negotiation over three days, I was able to get the $7,000 reduced to $1,000. However, I was then informed that I could not pay fully in cash, as originally planned. I was told I needed to finance part of the purchase — presumably because the dealership receives incentives from lenders. I agreed to proceed with financing despite my preference to pay cash. In the middle of the financing process, I was then informed that the vehicle had been sold to someone else. BUYER BEWARE: In TEXAS, the required state fees are straightforward — 6.25% motor vehicle sales tax plus standard title and registration fees. Texas also caps the dealer documentation fee at $150. Customers should review every line item carefully and independently verify what is actually required by the State of Texas versus what is dealership-added. After three days of back-and-forth discussions, this was extremely frustrating and disappointing. The overall experience felt very “old school” — heavy on tactics and add-ons, light on transparency. I hope future customers are given clearer, upfront pricing and a more straightforward buying process. More

Terrible dealership. I purchased a $125K Escalade from them and later discovered that they failed to include the entertainment center headsets that come with the car. T I purchased a $125K Escalade from them and later discovered that they failed to include the entertainment center headsets that come with the car. The salesman said he would ship them to me as I live in LA but after four follow up texts/calls, I got nowhere and called for the General Manager. He was "on the phone" and they said he would call me back. He never did. I will have to contact Cadillac to get resolution. Terrible experience...I will never buy another vehicle from this weak dealership. Alfredo was my salesman and he is worthless More

Deceptive is an understatement based on my experience with them. I inquired about a used 2024 Lyriq they had advertised online for just over $38k. I was looking for an out the door price with no trade with them. I inquired about a used 2024 Lyriq they had advertised online for just over $38k. I was looking for an out the door price with no trade and was given a figure of over $49k. There was a $7,000 (plus tax) extended warranty and service plan added to price (Cadillac Care). I told them I was not interested in that and the dealer replied “it’s optional and can be removed.” So I asked them to remove it and asked about the taxes. They then asked if I would be willing to finance the vehicle with them instead of paying cash. I told them I was if there was an incentive to doing that. I then get a reply back saying “actually my manager said $49k is the best we can do.” So basically they are advertising unattainable sale prices and then trying to force people to buy add ons which is not ethical or possibly even legal.

Absolutely the worst dealership experience I’ve had in from a dealership in TX. The level of unprofessionalism from both the management and sales rep, Kendrick, was beyond unacceptable especially when dea from a dealership in TX. The level of unprofessionalism from both the management and sales rep, Kendrick, was beyond unacceptable especially when dealing with $150K+ vehicles. I had a done deal in place for a 2025 Escalade V. All the paperwork was supposed to be sent over, and I waited for hours with no response, only to find out the car was sold out from under me. This isn’t the first time either. The same thing happened during a previous attempt with this dealership. If you value your time, money, and respect as a customer, take your business elsewhere. They will string you along, then sell the car behind your back. Very unprofessional. More

To whom it may concern, As a valued customer, I expected a high level of professionalism and competence, which unfortunately has not been reflected in my experience with your company I brought my c expected a high level of professionalism and competence, which unfortunately has not been reflected in my experience with your company I brought my car in for an oil change Saturday at 7:00am and sat there, until 10:00am. When they brought my car out, as I proceeded to get in my vehicle and opened the door, there was a crushing sound in my running board on the drivers side. I closed the door and it was even louder. The service guy ( Kevin) said the motor sounds like it's going out. I told him it wasn't going out before, I got here!! He asked me if I had a insurance warranty? That was ill revenant to you damaging my truck!!! I ended up taking it to my Machanic and he said that it's been hit and knocked off track. The motor is good and strong. He also showed me the small dent in the running board where it was hit. Somewhere between them taking my truck for an oil change and them taking it to get detailed, someone damaged my truck. This revelation is not only deeply concerning, but also raises serious questions about the integrity and reliability of your company practices. This overnight reflects a significant lack of attention to detail and failure to ensure the accuracy and competence of your service department, which is entirely unacceptable. Moreover the fact that this error was not reported exacerbates my concerns. This situation not only inconvenience me as a customer, but also cast doubts on your ability to effectively manage your service department it is essential for a company to make sure the customer is satisfied and not brush them off, instead of checking into the problem, particularly, when it comes to these high priced vehicles. This oversight raises serious doubts about the legitimacy of your business operations. Supporting documentation is available upon request. I look forward to hearing from someone regarding this experience. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter More

I called and emailed in regards to 2024 Cadillac Escalade, these guys had five in total that they advertised, all with different stock numbers and VIN numbers , for $71890. I read all the reviews pr Escalade, these guys had five in total that they advertised, all with different stock numbers and VIN numbers , for $71890. I read all the reviews prior to getting in touch with this dealer but still decided to give them a call, thinking that, okay how bad can it really be? OH MY , IT WAS BADDD. Spoke to a sales person W. Downman, he stated that yes the car is available. I replied that's great, my bank or a Credit Union can cut them a check immediately. He said oh Nooo, I have to get it financed with them, through their bank. Mind you, this is not some small used mom and pop dealership to say stuff like this. Oh well, even that's okay, I'm ready, With a 815 Fico, and over 25 years of solid credit history and over 250K in annual earnings I will qualify anywhere. Thats when he said his manager will get in touch with me at the end of the day. After a week, nothing. Then Jocelynn Conteras another sales person sent me an email stating that I'm in luck, there is one actually available. So I called again, had a chat with the manager BDC Betsy Basillio. She stated that she wasn't sure, she needs to check, but she is going to text me Tuesday 12/3 to let me know for sure. No texts, No calls, No emails. It has been four weeks already dealing with this dealer. FAKE ADS, STAY AWAY. DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR, BE WISE, READ THE REVIEWS, THESE REVIEW ARE HERE FOR A REASON. Ignore their responses after every bad review, about how sorry and apologetic they are, THEY ARE NOT. THEY ARE KEEP ON DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER TO ALL. Just pay attention, at this dealership, every employee is a MANAGER, LOL, after each negative review they are responding by asking us to contact such and such Manager, BULLLLL. They also say that they thrive on giving their customers the best service and experience , all cliche, it is all bull, in reality, this is a common practice at this dealership. These are the SOP's. This is their model, THIS IS IS THEIR FACE. Bogus Ads just to create a buyers network and bring buyers in, but there is no car, it does not exist. You would be going there for absolutely no reason. RED FLAGS ALL OVER, BE AWARE, THAT'S ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More
