Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM of Anchorage - Service Center

Thieves! They had my car 4x times for a total of 15 weeks. They claimed lost car, waiting on warentee inspector, haven’t gotten approval, can’t find parts, et They had my car 4x times for a total of 15 weeks. They claimed lost car, waiting on warentee inspector, haven’t gotten approval, can’t find parts, etc. All delays and lies, They swapped out all my upgrades, stole my tow package, sunroof, switched gas tanks, back of front seats, changed my VIN #, swapped out my engine, changed my door panels, rear hatch door, and gave out my car information to Uconnect, allowing people to shut down my car not allow me to accelerate, my hatch door only opens if stereo is on, they collaborated with Insuringalaska to change my insurance policy, labeling my car “jeep wagon” when it was SRT jeep grand Cherokee Limited, then put my doors on a vehicle they sold in sales lot, with the same exact scratches and door dinges I had on my car. They replaced a cheep plastic front grill, and all around plastic panels but left my original hood!? The Inside roof cover to my sun roof is shoved in back roof panel, they swapped out the switches and motor from the sunroof retractor, my car has no power now, breaks squeal. Still makes same sounds slipping transfer case as when I originally took in. When I showed Kenny the new cheap, plastic gas door panel w/ brand new stickers they installed, he said, “what do you think a judge would have to say?” I had no idea why they swapped my gas tank until I found out the 6.4 liter has tank under rear cargo, and 3.6 liter has on the rear driver side. They claim they lost all all paperwork in March 2025, when they had car for over 3 weeks. They took my original catEyE headlamps and LED lights and swapped out my fog lights. They swamped out my steering column and put in a new steering column w/ cheep vinyl, removed my leather head rests and put vinyl, took my applifier from under front driver seat, put a brand new spare tire that’s smaller then my stock and removed my seat warmers for back seats. They cracked center of windshield then glued a cheap rearview mirror , mine had outdoor temp, and emergency button- I turned the mirror and entire mirror w/ both sides of windshield fell with only glass falling from outside of windshield not inside. My invoice says Texas Billing? When I took it into Anchorage Alaska. My seatbelts were changed with older faded ones, and replaced passenger side belt is Damaged. My door panels, trim, don’t line up, the hatch back door doesn’t fit my car, with sunlight coming through the joints. I keep finding brand new yellow and black rivets fall out from back hatch, and under seats, they repainted the VIN # plate behind seat, put in a new compartment under seat that now has battery, carpets don’t match, and new rivets fell from compartment w/ brand new foam and stickers..my VIN plate was gray in front of windshield ? Now it’s a white paper with barcode. The car came straight from Canada by original owner, now the history to this VIN claims multiple auto shops in Kenai- The dealership I purchased my car from Quality Sales, just happened to be someone bought them out when Lithia had my car in their procession for 4 weeks and my insurance policy was changed w/ new VIN during same time, when “Edgar “ asked for copy of insurance. Upon picking up my car, My door handles were loose, faded and paint was flat color, I noticed headlights, Edgar said, “So are you saying this isn’t your car?” I said, “excuse me, of course it’s mine? But these aren’t my door handles or headlights.. My rear hatchback door had red and white rectangle lights inside door panel, with large back window, and level where my dog could stand up on door- now the door they installed has faded black cheep plastic, w/ 2 small round yellow inside lights, and bowed out back. All my fuses are missing from spares to upgrades they stole, wire harness cables missing under hood, and all brand new harnesses under front seats. This dealership and the mechanics that work under them are theives! Kenny and Edgar are running an illegal operation at the expense of their trusting customers. More

Hands down absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. Our 2018 Jeep started having issues. We bought a lifetime warranty package. Took it in for diagnostics, it took them a full month to experienced. Our 2018 Jeep started having issues. We bought a lifetime warranty package. Took it in for diagnostics, it took them a full month to tell us they “think” it’s a sensor in the coolant hose. They replaced the hose and suggested we change the spark plugs, brake pads, and fuel injectors (things not covered under warranty). We said we would do those things on our own because we didn’t want to wait another month to get our vehicle back, but asked for the oil change and coolant hose replacement. Drove the jeep home only to have the oil change light come on, as well as the service engine light, and open the hood to find coolant leaking from the brand new hose they supposedly put on. We changed the brakes and rotors at home, fuel injectors, spark plugs, bled the fuel lines and coolant lines ourselves. Check engine light is still coming on and will not produce a code. Not to mention whenever we call the service department takes 20 minutes to answer the phone, if you leave a message they don’t call back. When you ask for answers about your vehicle they just try to sell you more instead of fixing the problem. Called to schedule an oil change and they try to tell me I have to pay for over $3000 of work to keep my engine warranty contract. When my husband went in to pick up the Jeep, he asked if they cleared the check engine code or did their “inspection” and they rudely stated “no you only wanted an oil change.” They also didn’t provide a rental while they had the jeep for 4 weeks for the initial issue. It says in the warranty contract they are supposed to provide one for at least five days (technically cover up to $35 a day for a rental for only 5 days). Alas they did not. When we asked about it they said they don’t do that. Do NOT buy from them. You will be stuck getting repairs with them if you want to try to make good use of your warranty. And you won’t get the repair. They will be rude and take at least a month to do absolutely nothing, with no communication unless you physically go in and demand to speak to someone. Meanwhile you will be out of luck on vehicle. More

I have had my Chrysler 200 C at this dealership three times and received very poor service. The first time was for a leaking back tire, and they couldn't even find the leak. My husband's ex-stepson fou times and received very poor service. The first time was for a leaking back tire, and they couldn't even find the leak. My husband's ex-stepson found a huge hole that had been plugged and then plugged it again for me. Then the dash lights stopped working and they supposedly fixed it, but it turns out that they didn't. I spent $2,000 on that. My husband took it back to them to have them fix it correctly and they had it for over a month. They called to tell us that the car is ready to be picked up, but they lost the fob. We bought this car used and it only came with one fob. More

Just want to state that I went yesterday to get an oil change at the dealership, it was quick, and at reasonable price. The issue was when I picked up the truck... i started driving my truck and the engin change at the dealership, it was quick, and at reasonable price. The issue was when I picked up the truck... i started driving my truck and the engine light came on, then i got the low oil pressure warning, the oil pressure was around 6-9 psi. I drove back to the dealership which took a couple minutes, drove way under the speed limit and no light came off. Once I was back at the dealership, Italked to on of the technicians and I mentioned to him that when i returned to the dealership i opened the hood and I first noticed the oil cap was just "hanging out" by the latch of the hood. I checked the dipstick and it came out completely dry. One of the technician came out with some oil, pour some on the truck then checked the dipstick and there was not enough oil still to be seen. The same tech comes back with more oil and he even stated that the tech that worked on the vehicle forgot to put oil. The tech that worked on my vehicle comes out later and apologized and was very sorry about the mistake.I just hope there is no damage to the engine but it's something definitely that I would be keeping an eye on from now on. The only reason why I'm writing this is because i want it to keep in record that there was a mistake done, for future reference in case my truck does show some issue, I just hope I'm not responsible for any damage I give it a 2 because of the issue, but nobody has called to say anything about the issue. I brought it up to the desk, sent an email and no contact yet. More

Let me regale you with a tale of god-awful customer service: The visit was terrible. I bought a brand new $60K truck and within a week my dashboard lights up with warnings and loss of power steering service: The visit was terrible. I bought a brand new $60K truck and within a week my dashboard lights up with warnings and loss of power steering/braking/sensors, etc. I immediately returned to Lithia South Anchorage only to receive AWFUL service. Kenny Ellert (service advisor) couldn't even be bothered to listen to my concerns and motioned vaguely to a stack of papers and said "well if you want to leave the truck you can fill out one of those forms over there..." and that was the extent of his help. I asked if I could speak with a manager because he wasn't being helpful and didn't care that I had just bought a brand new truck at this dealership, or that I had to get to work and was now stranded without a car. When Phil (service manager) came on to the scene 15 minutes later he too didn't seem even slightly concerned. When I asked about a loaner car, he said "yeah we don't do that" - I pointed out that the fact that a customer that spends $60K on a truck for it to malfunction and then be told the same dealer will leave you stranded without a loaner was RIDICULOUS. He refused to do anything to actually help me, and instead said that if I wanted I could always rent a car at enterprise. What an absolute clown. You're kidding right? And then only when I asked how he expected me to get across town did he eventually offer one of his service techs to give me a ride, so that I could pay money so that I could rent a car to have my car diagnosed after owning it for only a week. So after procuring a rental car on my own dime, I tracked my truck via the RAM app and found that for 48 hours nothing was actually done to diagnose my car. Instead what happened was the service department pulled the truck around back and let it sit! No diagnosing nothing, just sitting. During this 48 hours I reached out to the service department multiple times as well as the salesman without any responses. No one actually was doing anything or providing me with any information regarding the status of my truck. When I finally did get a response I was told by Edgar (tech) that there was no problem with the truck (inaccurate) and that they found some error codes that they cleared. I pointed out that low batteries often create situations that cause error codes on trucks. This seems like the most likely reason for the errors on my truck since when I went to the dealership to buy my truck the salesman showed me several trucks that were dead on the lot with batteries that were completely drained. So its unsurprising that my truck likely sat for a while and the battery deteriorated. When I asked Edgar if they checked the battery he said "oh um yeah they did." - Uh huh. I'm sure they checked it. I'm not convinced the service department did anything. When I asked if I could get a ride back from Enterprise after dropping of my rental car that again I had to pay for, I was told that "yeah our shuttle guy is off today." Great, now I have to figure out once again how to retrieve my truck. When I relayed the situation to the folks at Enterprise they said "oh yeah, the guys at Lithia suck, we've heard this plenty of times." Just so you know. More

My Charger was in the service dept. for 2 months for warranty work. I took it to Lithia South Anchorage because I live in the Matanuska Valley and the Wasilla Service dept. is terrible for 2 months for warranty work. I took it to Lithia South Anchorage because I live in the Matanuska Valley and the Wasilla Service dept. is terrible and I thought I would get better treatment from these guys but nope! After two long months without my car I finally got a text that it was finished. At pickup not one appology for the long wait. To top it off my light grey headliner was filthy with greasy finger prints and smudges. An e-mail to the GM did no good either. Not the way to treat a loyal Mopar guy of 50+ years. More
