Luis did really well with helping me through the whole process of getting my car. Even after getting it, he’s helped me through anything I was confused on. Super cool patient and kind. More

Thanks for reaching out and letting us know about your experience. We’re sorry to hear things didn’t go the way you expected, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to explain everything. It’s clear that the process was frustrating—from the long day at the dealership to the condition of the vehicle and the breakdown shortly after. That’s not the kind of experience we want any of our customers to have, and we want to do what we can to help. We’d like to take a closer look at your situation so we can better understand what happened and explore any options for support or resolution. If you’re open to it, please give us a call at [phone number] or email us at [email] so we can talk things through. If you have any paperwork from the repairs or warranty claims, having that handy would help. Again, we’re sorry for the hassle this has caused. We appreciate your patience and the chance to follow up. Best, Craig Gates GM Grote Rockford 779-888-5000
