Lakeland Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM

This has to be the WORST Dodge service department I have ever dealt with and I have been a Dodge owner since 2002. This doesn't even include the new vehicles where there was a $10k discrepancy from them ever dealt with and I have been a Dodge owner since 2002. This doesn't even include the new vehicles where there was a $10k discrepancy from them versus Jerry Ulm in Tampa. I tried 2 times to buy a truck from there but they ALWAYS claim they can't help us even though Jerry Ulm in Tampa were great. I used to work in Tampa so always took my vehicle there. 3 years ago I started working in Lakeland so I thought it would be convenient to take my vehicle there for repairs. As to the service we have taken our vehicle here 3 times. Every single time they either neglect to do something I have asked or just outright just refuse to keep me in the loop. No communication whatsoever. 1st time. I went in to ask for a new rear window as I broke it by accident. They told me it would be a few weeks and they would get in a window. So, after a month I called and no one knew about my order. They had no window nor was there any evidence they ordered a window for me. 2nd time. I asked them to change the oil and check out my manifold gasket leak. I came back and they replaced the oil but didn't look at the leak. One guy who works with me ALSO asked them about a rear window. haha. Again, no one ordered one. 3rd time I ended up needing lifters. I Was told someone would call me for a rental the next day and also they would call to lmk about my truck and what the issue was with it. No phone call. So, I came in the next opening day and the service guy said "Oh, yeah. The rental people just left" So, another day no rental. No phone call. I spoke to the assistant manager while I as there. I just wanted to let him know of the issues we have been having with no one communicating. He assured me he would reach out the next day. Guess what? No response. So, if the assistant manager can't make a call back to me then how would anyone expect his service managers to call me back. LOL We have 2 other incidences of no communication. It's like I Am bothering them with bringing in my vehicle. Jerry Ulm in Tampa was EXCELLENT and always took care of me. They communicated with me during any visit. Lakeland doesn't have any communication whatsoever. They are the worst. I just can't believe they are still in business! From what I saw though all their guys were standing around looking at their phones laughing about something on the internet. I guess no one has work to do. haha. Unbelievable. UPDATE After they finally fixed my lifters and had the truck running a month, the check engine light came on again. So. I took it back and they kept the vehicle for OVER A MONTH and told me nothing was wrong. I again asked about the manifold gasket leak. I was told there was no leak. I took my truck to Tampa Jerry Ulm Dodge to have it looked at. Not only was there a manifold leak it was CRACKED. No one in Lakeland even looked at it. Tampa sent me pictures and a video of the crack AND numerous other issues. Rear seal leak, etc. Had they pointed these things out to me in Lakeland I would have just bought a new truck. Lakeland Dodge service is THE WORST. I shouldn't have to ask numerous times to have an issue looked at. They do not care. No one cares at all at this place. I have called and no one has EVER reached out to me. My service advisor called me twice in the 2 1/2 months my truck was in the shop. I had to keep calling up there and stopping by to see what was going on. Come on guys! A month and a half for someone to just tell me NOTHING was wrong? I have a write up from Tampa Dodge that says otherwise!!!!!!! So, I traded my truck in for a Chevy. For over 20 years I have been a Dodge fan but no longer. Lakeland Dodge will NEVER get my business again....and I can't afford to take it to Tampa Dodge even thought they were great. It's sad that it's an hour drive for me. Had Lakeland Dodge cared even HALF as much I would have bought a new Dodge truck. It's very sad. More

I thought I got a great deal till I reviewed the paperwork. I've called a dozen times & shown up two times to the dealer. Al the finance guy they say I must talk to is out or not there. Voice mail i paperwork. I've called a dozen times & shown up two times to the dealer. Al the finance guy they say I must talk to is out or not there. Voice mail is full & Finance manager says she knows nothing & can not help. I bought a car for $6999 all the paperwork said $6999, everything we agreed on said $6999 & what I signed said it, but somehow it was changed to $7999. I assumed it was an accident, but the lack of response & hiding is making me think it was fraud. I guess, I'll need to call the finance company and whoever handles car dealer disputes for the state of Florida. I'll report them to the BBB but they have an F there, so it may not matter. Check your paperwork, they hand you in the envelope, it may have changed. Do not expect and help or a response after you've made a purchase. I hope they enjoy the $1000 because I have a lot of free time and access to the internet & know how to file complaints. More

I wanted to write in on my experience ordering my new vehicle from Lakeland CDJR. This was the best experience at a dealer that I’ve ever had. I inquired about custom ordering with Mike Peralta in sales. vehicle from Lakeland CDJR. This was the best experience at a dealer that I’ve ever had. I inquired about custom ordering with Mike Peralta in sales. Mike is straight forward, honest, and just a pleasure to do business with. Mike ensured I understood every step of the process and am very happy with the entire transaction. I would highly recommend Lakeland CDJR to anyone looking for their next vehicle. Their professionalism and honesty are a rare trait to find in car dealers these days, especially in Florida. More
