I have been a loyal customer at Michael Bates since they opened. I have not had any issues until one of my vehicles broke down and I had it towed in. They had my car for 2 weeks at which point I chose to More

Dear Kathleen- Again, we are very sorry for your frustration. As we explained when you came to the dealership today you will have to authorize tear down for our tech to take the motor apart to see what internal parts failed. You chose to not authorize the tear down and our hands are tied. So you made a decision to tow it out. We understand this is a choice. As far as the battery not holding a charge, I am sorry you feel this is our fault. But with the -7 degree wind factors and record low temps, if it is not a newer battery, they will have to be jumped. We see it all day with these long winter days. These temps just make it worse. You complained about the communication to me, and we have a system to show the notes and time stamps of calls and emails. I am sorry if our communications and service was not fast enough for you. Michael Bates Chevy hope you and you and your family a healthy 2026 . We are sorry we could not satisfy you.

I am well aware that I had to authorize the tear down. My frustration has nothing to do with that and when you had my car, the last two weeks of December, it was not nearly as cold as it is now. You have missed the mark and not once tried to understand me or retain my family's business in any way shape or form. So disappointing. Good Luck

Can’t even use a correct email address to reach out to the customer. I have called and emailed to remove the incorrect email address but am still getting emails. More
