Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Utica

My salesman Kyle was awesome. I live 2 hours away and he took care of everything and made my experience awesome and painless. Utica CDJR gained a customer for life. It helped that I live 2 hours away and he took care of everything and made my experience awesome and painless. Utica CDJR gained a customer for life. It helped that the prices were much better than their competitors and they were willing to give a little to help make the sale. Most dealerships these days live on the motto of take it or leave it. Not Utica. I highly recommend Utica CDJR to everyone. See Kyle. He’s top notch!!! More

Mark Hoch the GM went over and above to help me with the issues I was having with my Jeep. He had Chris Bridge take the reins to see that all the work was completed and it was. Couldn't ask for two nicer pe issues I was having with my Jeep. He had Chris Bridge take the reins to see that all the work was completed and it was. Couldn't ask for two nicer people to work with.

Was an interesting time getting a vehicle from these guys, sales team was awesome Kyle and Geoffrey were professional and easy to work with. I bought a used car just to clarify, a couple days later ther guys, sales team was awesome Kyle and Geoffrey were professional and easy to work with. I bought a used car just to clarify, a couple days later there was a minor issue. Had tried reaching out to the service team pretty much everyday for a week. Never heard back. However emailed Mark the general manager on a Saturday at I think like 8pm he answered not even 20 minutes later telling me the plan with the car. Couple days later received a call from Chris the service manager telling me to make an appointment with another dealership and they'd cover it. Made the appointment, at the appointment tried reaching out to Chris to let him know what was going on again with no answer and never receiving a call back. The dealership that ended up doing the repair had kept it contact every step of the way letting me know everything that was happening. Only negative thing i have to say about this is the service side of things sucks at communication. Everyone else top notch, they did the right thing, and it was simple after I got in touch with Mark. Sorry for the lengthy review but wanted to be as honest as possible. More

Worst experience ever. I would never recommend this dealership to anyone. I purchased my Jeep July 2022 as any new owner I was excited, but to my dismay I had no idea the I would never recommend this dealership to anyone. I purchased my Jeep July 2022 as any new owner I was excited, but to my dismay I had no idea the terrible customer service I would be in for. Not even 3 weeks later my jeep was brought back for an issue regarding the dome lights. At first I couldn’t get the service manager to even give me an appt. Then I finally managed to get an appt. Where my jeep sat in their lot for 1 week untouched because no one knew it was there even though I checked it in with service. After that the service center had my jeep for 4 months for Dome Lights that wouldn’t turn on! Service manager notified me they placed the part in the wrong vehicle and that they also found chewed wires in my “Certified Pre Owned” car. When I finally received my jeep back in October no more than 20 days later did my jeep go back because it wouldn’t Park. It was later figured out that the transmission body module failed, Service center stated I came in for my check engine light. After this amount of chaos I wanted to trade out of my jeep, the service manager helped me but wasn’t able to stay within my budget. During this time I was given a loaner, but later inconvenienced once again as I was given a loaner with no insurance coverage. I took my jeep back once again only to have my life put in danger as I was driving 50mph and no warning the jeep was dead in the road. I finally was able to get it back to the dealer and the general manager and the service manager couldn’t find any other excuse besides “this is what happens when you buy used” they did try and help me with finding a trade but weren’t able to stay in my budget and I was losing all the perks in my jeep that I purchased only to pay more a month for my loan. I was made empty promises from the general manager Mark, saying that he personally would call me the next day with info about my jeep as it had been 3 weeks and no communication. No call, Geoff the sales manager was suppose to email me new trade options the next day as well. No email. All I got was several calls a day stating my loaner contract was going to end and have no coverage, which is funny when they gave me a loaner for 3 months with no insurance and had no worries then. I wouldn’t touch this place with a ten foot pole, unless you want countless issues, no communication, new staff every few months and chasing people down for answers. I’ve noticed several other reviews matching my issues I had. This dealership is not like when the carbone family used to own it. Lithia doesn’t care about its customers and neither does the staff in this dealership More

Disappointed in my car shopping experience with cdjr of utica. I originally went in after doing plenty of research to see one grand Cherokee. The salesman Scott told me it was out, and asked if I wanted to utica. I originally went in after doing plenty of research to see one grand Cherokee. The salesman Scott told me it was out, and asked if I wanted to look at others. After looking at 4 other vehicles I asked to look at the one I originally wanted to see. Again he told me it was out and won’t be back until around 3. I asked “what does out mean” and he got snotty and dismissive with me telling that it’s just out. I had to ask multiple times what the value of my trade in was. Scott told me that he would get the highest value out of the car… I had two other appraisals done and cdjr value of my car was 2k under the appraisals. Yet, they posted the trade in vehicle 5k over my trade in… but I thought that was the highest value they offered me? Luckily I found a jeep I liked and wanted to talk numbers. The price seemed off for some reason and I asked if there is anything they can do about the price. Scott said let me go talk to my manager. Comes back “I’ll make you a deal! I knocked if 1,000 just for you”. Still something didn’t feel right and asked for a moment to talk to my husband. I go on their website and see the vehicle listed for the “deal” price. Scott came back over and explained that the internet price and floor price are different to get people to come in. I then said that he wasn’t actually giving me a deal, rather the price the vehicle was posted at? So false advertising? The manager than came over to explain that I am getting a great deal for the jeep I am looking at and that the dealership owns the car for the amount they are selling it for. I talked with my husband more and decided that it was sketchy and unprofessional the way these men were acting and I felt like they were trying to get one over on me. As scott was standing near the finance table I asked for my keys back because I was not comfortable with how they are handling things. The manager walked up to me and started asking me how they could get me to stay. I said I need the monthly payment down. The car was too expensive. Pressured and anxious I stayed to hear him out. Little did I know he was not decreasing the price, or giving me a “better price”, He increased the months of the car Loan so the monthly payment went down making it seem like the price was better. Already in a tizzy, feeling manipulated, frustrated, after being there for 5 hours, I finalized the paperwork, traded in my jeep and came home with a new one. Once I got home I realized they never asked me about any modification I made to my personal vehicle when they appraised it. It has an aftermarket automatic car started. They didn’t ask about recent maintenance nothing. The finance guy, Matt was awesome! He explained things thoroughly and was very kind!! Overall very displeased with my experience. As a young couple I was hopping to find a dealership that was reliable enough to continue giving our business to for years to come…. Nope. More

Worst dealership experience from start to finish. I planned to trade in my car, gave them the keys to look at mine. The salesman came back out saying trade in per kbb was between 2 amounts and the I planned to trade in my car, gave them the keys to look at mine. The salesman came back out saying trade in per kbb was between 2 amounts and they’d offer me “somewhere in between” the 2 values. When I told them my offer for my trade, they wrote up paperwork with an offer for my trade that was significantly lower than the lower of the 2 kbb values. When I asked why, the salesman first said he “misspoke” then said my car needed new tires so they lowered the trade in because of that. Well I just had new tires put on in the last couple months, car does NOT need tires. My husband had stopped in briefly to look at the car and offer support but had to leave. When the manager came out he said “where’s your husband? I want to talk to him”. Is this the 1960s?! I asked for my keys back so I could leave. They would not give them to me, just sent different people to try to get me to deal. I had to demand my keys back and on my way out they offered what I asked for with the trade. When I looked at the paperwork when I got home they offered about $3700 of hidden fees, jacking up the sale price by way over $4000 when you include the tax. When called out about it they did change the paperwork, probably disappointed we caught it. I set up the date and time for pick up and was told everything would be ready. Absolutely nothing was done and they said I never told them I was coming to pick the car up. I told them I’d be more than happy to show them the emails and phone log, and reminded them I had literally called on my way there and talked to them. Whole experience was horrible and borders on harassment when they essentially refuse to allow you to leave. More

I wouldn't even give this dealership 1 star. Don't waste your time with this place. Especially if you are buying from out of state, good luck getting anything done with them. They don't like to Don't waste your time with this place. Especially if you are buying from out of state, good luck getting anything done with them. They don't like to answer calls or return them, or emails. The GM is also worthless. They also will not give you all the details of issues on your vehicle so good luck if you do buy from them. More
