"Not sure what to say, honestly. It seems no matter where..."
- Cmoden84Not sure what to say, honestly. It seems no matter where you go for ANYTHING CAR RELATED in the Denver area you just can't find an honest service location. My wife gets in for the oil change today, she had to cancel the oil change at the competitor location Monday since we had an emergency with our dog. Oil change tire rotation, great simple, easy. Her phone dies while she's at the dealer waiting for the service to be done so she can't call me or text me what the pricing is going to be. Joe comes up to her telling her what it will be and she says ok. (Thinking that's what an oil change and tire rotation is.) $394.36 for an oil change with some BG additives she knows nothing about and an EPR engine flush, and software updates that are complimentary at other facilities. Keep in mind this is our very first maintenance since purchasing the vehicle CERTIFIED PRE OWNED. My wife gets home to show me the service and what they "did". Absolutely blown away by the complete disrespect and advantage they had taken over her while she was there. Let me tell you what the BG EPR service consists of. Adding the EPR to the old engine oil and letting it idle for 10 minutes. Well that's $24.40 of the technicians HARD labor. Draining the oil, changing the filter, adding the BG MOA to the engine oil and throwing a can of BG 44K Fuel system cleaner in the gas tank. Then a tire rotation which she asked for. With the level of experience I have in the automotive industry I am far from surprised, this was a great test run. Hey guys I know it sucks having to work during covid 19 with a skeleton crew and a severe lack of hours for your techs to flag, but this is far from acceptable. I spoke with the manager who was friendly but couldn't offer much more information as to what was involved with the Software updates and which ones were in fact updated. For our first service a simple oil change and tire rotation couldn't satisfy the businesses or the service advisors thirst for making the most out of every customer. If 95% of your customers are falling prey to this, then I feel terribly sorry for your clientele. It's funny how if you need warranty work done you have to schedule weeks out, but come on in today and we'll be sure we can get that gravy work and $400 out of your hard earned pocket. Seems like the business made a bad decision by not including complimentary software updates anymore, seeing as how numerous ones across the state and country still do. Oh and don't pay the $35 MISC CHARGE for shop supplies, the techs use 2 ounces of brake clean and one rag. You think people would have it figured out by now, word of mouth travels faster than anything. Attached is a screen shot from the competitor Volvo dealer showing the software updates. My brother in law is a former employee of this company and he spoke so highly of them I was sure to have a good experience, how wrong we were. Update : Going over recommended services is certainly understandable, however not saying they're additional or what they are for, by being extremely vague is not something that is becoming of good business practices, and aligns itself more with sneaky sales tactics, in hopes of unnecessary updates. Again, make the most out of every paying customer, but disregard any mediocre quality of service when it comes to handling repairs that are needed to be covered under factory CPO warranty. You say the shop supplies goes to special tools and the likes, which is fine, but that is also the cost of business overhang that is required for you to run a shop, not something that is just passed off to the customer because you chose to run a Volvo facility that requires "special" tools. What's so special about the tools required to do an oil change ? A wrench and a socket to remove the oil filter housing ? Give me a break, the incompetence runs deep here, very disappointed overall at the denials left and right from this organization. Offering a solution, based on the problem they created by the lack of communication and overall LACK of information provided by Joe at the time he was speaking to my wife during the process is not something that's going to be easy to make up. But, again, according to your service manager "95% of our clientele appreciate this." I highly doubt that many people love coming in for an oil change and tire rotation and being taken for an additional $300 out of their pocket, especially during the state of the country we're all currently living in.
Read More"Service rep was sarcastic"
- donI took my new Volvo into a scheduled service appointment due to fog lights that were missing from the factory. After I explained the issue, he said "Yep, they're not there. What do you want me to do about it?" He referred me to the sales team despite the fact that I had purchased the car at another dealer. In answer to his question: Nothing. I have taken my business to Sill-Terhar.

- eddy_eI purchased a use 2014 Infiniti SUV from this dealership about 6 months ago. It has been great! No issue asides from basic maintenance (radiator cap and brake flush). The sales person I worked with was Monte Kline, he was very easy going and genuinely did not try to pressure me into anything. He worked with Micah Owens and Dan Wiley. I can't quite remember what their respective roles were but they were very professional throughout the process. There wasn't any nonsense in the transaction either. I came to drive the vehicle one day, I slept on it and negotiated a price the next day. Inna Zibrov was also very professional. She was responsible for selling service and protection packages. She let me know what was available and that the vehicle was out of warranty but did not try any scare tactics into getting me to purchase something I wasn't comfortable with. Overall, I had a great buying experience and would definitely buy again.

- Volvo’s SuckMcDonald Volvo continues spamming me long after I requested them to stop. I would never buy a piece of crap Volvo and especially not from McDonald Volvo. Jessica Young is a huge disservice to the dealership since she simply ignores requests to stop spamming people. Why would anyone do business with a dealership or a person like this when there are so many other great choices out there?

- mcreacyRyan Tarket and Dan Wiley were a dream to work with. They listened to me, respected my wishes, & gave me a great deal! Additionally, I received highly personalized service and consultation from Dan and Ryan. I will definitely be a lifetime customer. I've never had an easier car buying experience than I did at McDonald Volvo.

- ccincrcoWe worked with Grady Alexander and he was absolutely amazing! This is our first Volvo and we couldn't be happier so far with the experience at McDonald. Grady had an employee trip within a few hours of our visit which may have otherwise been a distraction to most, but he was very attentive to detail and we felt like he really took great care in making sure we were getting what we wanted and that all of our questions were answered. We will continue to work with McDonald for our servicing needs going forward and look forward to purchasing our next car from them (and hopefully Grady) when we come to get our next one down the road.

- Jojow212We were excited to locate a previously owned Mercedes after owning one of ours for 22 years. Sam Gardea was extremely calm, patient & knowledgeable of this automobile. He guided us thru our purchase process quickly as did Inna, manager of their Business Department. ( Sam also arranged to have our " trade in " vehicle washed to promote it's sale!) "Thank you" Sam & Inna!!!
Read More"One of the most incompetent and disorganized dealerships "
- ehmwwwWorst car buying experience I've ever had. Dealership is completely totally disorganized, left out vital information in order to complete my loan but in the meantime released the car to me. Resulted in hours of wasted time trying to the wrong people at the wrong phone number. General sales manager Ralph all the way down to Rocco and the salesperson themselves, totally dropped the ball, failing to give me information their own dealership needed in order to get funded by Volvo Financial. repeatedly gave me the wrong phone number to call to get the issue resolved, wasted hours of my time.
