Not worth your time The first day I arrived a salesman greeted me but seemed distracted.

I wanted to look at trucks, but he said he was waiting for another customer (someone bought a corvette so apparently I wasn't important enough) and we talked about the truck a little bit. He said he could give me a more professional demonstration if I came back the next day, so I gave him my information and he emailed me saying he found one for me. When I arrived to demo a Silverado that they said was "the one for you", it had 1800 miles on it already, smelled like cheap cologne (like something smelly happened in the vehicle prior to my arrival), and the siding on the truck had already fallen off. I took it for a test drive and the salesman was too busy texting to talk about the features of the truck. I decided to amuse them and see what kind of pricing they would offer me, and they pulled the good cop bad cop routine where the sales manager comes in after you say no and are ready to leave; and proceeds to try give you a better deal. What I did not expect, was the sales manager cracking a joke about my physical appearance after i told him I was not comfortable with the deal. It's bad enough I have a medical condition, but to have jokes made at my expensive while looking to spend 40k-45k on a truck... is just plain bad business. After I explained to another salesman what happened and walking out, he called me the next day stating he wanted to "make it right". What they actually should have said was, "Let's try to sell you a more expensive truck out of your price range and make you feel uncomfortable" This was by far the most unprofessional dealership I have dealt with, and I will be very hesitant to step foot on another Chevy, GMC, or any other General Motors dealership. The fact that the truck was already falling apart, should have told me to walk away right there. They claim to be a no-hassle dealership, but you will find that it's a giant hassle if they don't get what they want out of you. More
JUST LOOKING My wife and I arrived at the dealership only looking for a new vehicle. Steve Stewart met us in the parking lot.We told him "we were only looking". He My wife and I arrived at the dealership only looking for a new vehicle. Steve Stewart met us in the parking lot.We told him "we were only looking". He left us to look and didn't tag along as so many sales persons do. We looked at the Tahoes as well as the only Suburban on the lot. After looking at all of them, the 2015 Suburban was what my wife was looking for (right exterior color as well as right interior color). After looking on line and other dealerships, guess it was fate that the right one was on your lot. At no time did we feel pressured to buy the vehicle. Once we decided to "go for it", we let Steve know and he was wonderful in assisting us with all the paperwork and answering any questions we had. We had a budget that we were going to hold fast to, and that is when Steve really started to shine. He went several times to the business office trying to get just what we wanted. He succeeded. Steve had to leave for a short time and Carey assisted us until he returned. Carey showed the same professionalism and courtesy as Steve . All the employees that we came in contact with were that way. In finance, Travis assisted us in the paper work while Steve and Carey took our vehicle to have it detailed, etc. My wife and I had a WONDERFUL experience with this dealership. I will recommend Coggin Chevrolet to my family and friends. Thank you so much Chris and Doretha Barry More
Great car experience In being this was my first personally owned car, the trepidation I felt was obvious for I was unsure of what to expect. After being referred to Coggin In being this was my first personally owned car, the trepidation I felt was obvious for I was unsure of what to expect. After being referred to Coggin Chevy by a friend, I was not let down. Nathan Schreiber was a fantastic salesman that took time in understanding what I wanted and what was not necessary or superfluous for my daily lifestyle. The entire staff was friendly and encompassed and personal and caring attitude. I walked out with my 2013 cruise and couldn't be happier! More
Stay Away This was by far the most unreal and worst car experience I have ever had at a dealership. We called ahead of time to verify that a specific vehicle wa This was by far the most unreal and worst car experience I have ever had at a dealership. We called ahead of time to verify that a specific vehicle was in-stock and even gave the person on the phone a VIN number confirm it. We drove an hour a half to the dealership. When we got there the vehicle wasn't on the lot. We waited over 20 minutes while they were supposedly pulling it from an "overflow lot". Then they told us they did not have the vehicle and they sold it yesterday. When we tried to leave they assured us they could give us a great deal on a more expensive vehicle. I told them exactly what I was willing to pay and exactly what I wanted for my trade in and asked if they could not meet that offer to let me know right then and there so we did not waste any more time. I made it very clear that I did not want to haggle and go back and forth on price and I did not want to waste any more time. The salesman assured me we would have a deal and he wouldn't waste my time. He brought us in a room where for over an hour and a half he attempted to wear us down going back and forth on price. He left the room and came back multiple times. His first offer was $2000 over the amount that I told him I was willing to pay. This was ridiculous considering I made it very clear initially of what I was willing to pay and asked him to not waste my time if he could not reach my price. His second offer was a completely different lesser model of the vehicle, this was a joke. I gave him one last chance to meet my price but his sales manager would not go any lower. This would have been fine had they just told me at the very beginning they could not get to the price. Yes, I would have still been angry that I drove all the way up there for a vehicle they told me they had but didn't. But they made it 10 times worse keeping me there using cheap antics to attempt me to still buy a vehicle. This was shameful unacceptable behavior by a dealership. My wife and I get one day off of work each week and we drove, with our daughter, 1 and half hours to this dealership and 1 and a half hours back. We also spent two and half hours at this dealership. That is five and half hours spent for nothing. I really hope that anyone who reads this that values their time with their family would decide not to support this business. More
Worst experience of my life!!! I give this all NEGATIVE STARS!!! My fiancé and I are working to rebuild our credit. We have 5 children and our only transportation broke down so we d I give this all NEGATIVE STARS!!! My fiancé and I are working to rebuild our credit. We have 5 children and our only transportation broke down so we decided to chance it and apply for a vehicle loan. Admir called us back from coggin and assured us we'd get financed. After test driving and settling on a Honda odyssee we sat at this dealership for 6 hrs before meeting w the financial guy. We were told we were approved and got a great deal on warranties and finally drove home. 3 days later I get a phone. All from admit saying we had to come back in to resign paperwork. A few weeks later we were finally able to both make it back in and say for another 4 hrs to redo everything only to find out we'd lost all of our warranties ! This was after Wed received a welcome call from a bank already!!!! Then another month later, 2 weeks before Christmas Chris the used car manager sends me an email saying we have to return the van we weren't able to get financed!!! I was devastated!!' His response was sorry for the inconvenience!!!! You are taking my vehicle before Christmas when I have 5 children and they verbally told us we were financed !!! Horrible heartless people and a horrible dealership!!! Do not go through them!!! And after doing some research they have done this to other people!!! This place need to be shut down!!! Brandy tM More
Weirdest situation of my life thanks for the memories Coggin Chevrolet of the avenues. Wish I could give negative stars... They didn't have any trucks in my price range so Admi thanks for the memories Coggin Chevrolet of the avenues. Wish I could give negative stars... They didn't have any trucks in my price range so Admir took me to a back lot, looking at some recent trade in 's. There was a great 05 chevy colorado which as I was told hadn't been thru the shop. I was allowed to start it up, it sounded great. A little hard negotiating with Admir and I meet used car sales manager David. He pushes me hard, the truck Obviously needs tires and he assumes other work. However I hold fast on my price... $6500... They say the truck would get fixed up in the next few days, even thru in a 1 month/2000 mile warranty. We sign a contract and I pay the amount in full, via check. The next day is when it gets weird. Admir calls and says the truck needs $3000 worth of work and the dealership cannot sell it to me. I was distraught... I checked my contract it didn't say anything about the vehicle needing to pass safety inspection. When I ask David to explain where in the contract states they can back out of the deal he says, "you don't have the truck so we never sold you the truck". It's been 2 days and haven't resolved this problem.. Moreover they never called me and I continually was told they would. If you have read this far do not trust these folks. I honestly feel like they should honor the deal, fix the truck, and possibly loose money... More

NO INTEGRITY Both the service manager and general manager stated they would send me a check for $100 for a dealer installed item that was under warranty. I did no Both the service manager and general manager stated they would send me a check for $100 for a dealer installed item that was under warranty. I did not receive the check. I have spoken with them multiple times and have emails. They continue to state they are sending one, but have not. This dealership and Chevy in general has been nothing but a constant fight for warranty repairs. More
