overpriced Charged $120 to replace two air filters. Both of which cost $12 each online.

So far I've brought the vehicle in four times for a scheduled oil change. My average wait time has been 2 hours!. This seems excessive and I honestly wish I had not purchased this option in hindsight. More
They must be short handed...felt like I was not important I called 4 times before I finally got a service rep to answer the phone, I let the phone ring 20 times. I got a receptionist to answer once and she I called 4 times before I finally got a service rep to answer the phone, I let the phone ring 20 times. I got a receptionist to answer once and she took a message....3 days later I called back as I had not got a call back...Not impressed with phone procedures. When I picked up my car no review was done on future needs or how they had inspected my car. Really felt like I was an inconvenience to the service people. On a good note, my drivers both ways were very enjoyable. More
Great dealer! I struggled to get the pictures and answers I was looking for, but then I was connected with Georan, checked in on by Gerald, and helped by Brian Braa I struggled to get the pictures and answers I was looking for, but then I was connected with Georan, checked in on by Gerald, and helped by Brian Braak!

Accommodative of customer needs This service center is accommodative of customer needs.

While they were unable to get my car in for two weeks while my engine was not running smoothly (the last time this happened, I had to replace my engine) they we're accommodative once the service was performed. There were recommendations to change parts which were contrary to what my primary other shop had indicated, such as: replacing rear shocks and bearings and replacing breaks. Although my brakes have approx 25% left and I plan on replacing them at the 70k mile mark (currently at 66k) the dealer insinuated that I should replace them immediately. After providing a realistic timeline, they agreed that the replacement was not necessary at this time, but should be done in the next 5-10k miles. Regarding the shocks, I had a vehicle inspection at 64k miles, and there was no indication that shocks were in need of repair. At 66k miles, they were apparently completely blown. This is confusing to me, as this drastic a change should not occur over 2k miles. Further, I have not experienced diminished ride quality or "clunking" sounds typical of blown shocks. More
