I brought in my 2005 Corvette for a GM Coolant System Flush and Fill. Not sure if it got done correctly as I only have a receipt to prove the endeavor and expense. However, I was also promised a 37 poi Flush and Fill. Not sure if it got done correctly as I only have a receipt to prove the endeavor and expense. However, I was also promised a 37 point or 137 point or whatever Safety Check as a Courtesy and the Service Tech never did perform it. I was told that my Roof Top Panel was defective and that they would have to order a new one under a Factory Recall. The Panel came in a week later and I made an appointment. Showed up and they changed their minds. Told me the Roof Panel was not OEM and therefore I did not qualify for the replacement Roof Panel. WTH? Why would they order a new one in the first place? Also, the second reason for my visit was to have a Front License Plate Holder installed. $92 and 2.5 hours later I am looking at a stick on (3 pieces of sticky pads) piece of plastic that is crooked. Really? My Service Advisor, Lou Ann, was awesome. Professional, Friendly, and very supportive. Bottom line is the Front License Plate holder started to fall off and I called the General Manager after doing an online after service survey. Dave was very helpful and professional and advised me to get a refund. So, I took the Vette back, returned the falling off license plate holder, and left. I will not return to Sandy Sansing Chevrolet again for my 2014 C7 Corvette purchase as I need to be able to depend on professional service technicians to do their job. The Staff was awesome but what's the point if you can't get decent and professional service on your $50,000 luxury performance sports car. My overall sales experience with Pete Moore Chevrolet was awesome but I don't have any service experience so the jury is still out on that one. Hopefully positive as I will not buy a new Chevy if I can't get it professionally serviced. JP More

Im having the absolute worst experience with them.. I'm Military, I purchased a car for my mother she goes and picks it out..They register car in a different state (Texas) after I provided them Florid I'm Military, I purchased a car for my mother she goes and picks it out..They register car in a different state (Texas) after I provided them Florida driver liscends and showed PROOF of FLORIDA Insurance.. Ive been calling for 3 or 3 days and was getting ignore, finally they told me oh well there's nothing they can do even tho they made the mistake and that I have to come out of my pocket to register the car in Florida even tho I provided them all the info.. Ive bought several cars and never ever had one of them registered in the wrong state after showing my Florida Driver liscends and prrof of my Florida insurance and now sticking me with the bill to go and do it on my own after they had already charged it to me in the total sell of the car.. I don't recommend anybody going here especially ig your Military, they only care about selling cars not to help u get them registered in the correct state. More

Jo Reese assisted me in my purchase of a new 2013 Chevy Spark. She was amazing and really knew her stuff, she patiently explained everything to me in ways that I understood and heped me find the best deal. Spark. She was amazing and really knew her stuff, she patiently explained everything to me in ways that I understood and heped me find the best deal. When paying for the car my bank ran through some issues (bank's fault) and Ms. Reese held the car for me even though it took WEEKS to sort everything out. Along with Ms. Reese, everyone at the dealership was incredibly friendly and didnt make all the paperwork seem like the hassle it usually is. I would definitely recommend this dealership, theyre amazing and I'm very happy with my Spark. More

I was very satisfied with my experience. Because I was a cash buyer and knew what I wanted I was able to visit and call various dealerships in 3 florida cities for price comparisons. When I informed them o cash buyer and knew what I wanted I was able to visit and call various dealerships in 3 florida cities for price comparisons. When I informed them of what I was interested in they returned my call very promptly, I gave them the price other dealerships had quoted me and they gave my the best price bar none. Once I got there both Jerry and Mario were very helpful and the process was very streamlined and easy. They have followed up with me as well which has been nice. More

Tried sending copy of paystub to John'S e-mail at least 10 times and he never got any of them, then got a phone call from another man named Mike and I sent them to him and he got them right away. Then was 10 times and he never got any of them, then got a phone call from another man named Mike and I sent them to him and he got them right away. Then was told that I didn't do some sort of interview with my loan company, which I did. My temp tags are set to expire TOMORROW and I still don't have my new plate and tag. Then they told me I have 2 options, drive out to Pensacola from FWB to get my license, or have them mail it and it will be sent to me and I won't get it until AFTER my temp tags expire. My husband is military and we're constantly driving on base, and he won't even be able to go into work with expired tags. I literally would never recommend this place to anyone. ever. More

I purchased a Chevy silverado from a private owner and bought a extended warranty on it. So I took it up to sandy sansing talked to Brian about getting my window motor replaced ad some fuel problems check bought a extended warranty on it. So I took it up to sandy sansing talked to Brian about getting my window motor replaced ad some fuel problems checked along with computer issues. He called me the next day and told me that the truck had been modified in the rear axle so the warranty was void. He was a nice guy and helpful so I took his word for it. Paid 217.00 just for that.. I agreed that I might have to pay that but he said I probably wouldn't unless it was severe, and him makin a phone call 5 hours later didn't seem that severe. Long story short I called to cancel my warranty found out sandy sansing never called to check if the warranty would cover everything else but the rear axle. I called Brian back he mumbled some stuff, and I asked him to call the warranty since he didn't in the first place he said ok "i will get back with you today or tomorrow" it's been a month.. Just shows me all they cared about was a easy $200. Hate to sound ugly just want someone to watch out if they never been there. More

I am unhappy with the service I received from the service department. First off, let me say the advisor, Valerie, was polite, and pleasant to work with. However, the technician was the issue. I brough department. First off, let me say the advisor, Valerie, was polite, and pleasant to work with. However, the technician was the issue. I brought my father-in-laws pickup in because the A/C was not working. An hour in a half later, they told me they could not find anything wrong, except for the freon had leaked out. They said they had serviced it, added dye, and asked me to come back in two weeks to be checked for a leak. That was $216.00 Two weeks later, the A/C was still cold, but I brought it in, as asked. I told Valerie, that after the technician serviced it the last time, the system was cold, but I kept hearing a gurgling sound from behind the glove box, and asked for him to look at it. After an hour of waiting, I was told it was going to be a while, because the tech had been assigned a steering column. No biggie, so I waited. However, after two and a half hours later, I was again told there were no leaks, and that the gurgling sound was the freon being converted from a gas, back in to a liquid. Sounded weird, but accepted the explanation, and left. I had been there for over four hours. The next day, the system began running warm, so I brought the truck back. I asked Valerie if she knew whether the technician had serviced the system the last time I was there (a couple of days prior). The technician happen to be standing there, so she told him how the system was running warm and asked. With a "smirk" on his face, he said, "Nothing was cooling yesterday", and walked off. I was taken a back. Maybe he had had a rough morning. Two hours later, I was given a quote. According to the quote, almost everything in the A/C system was bad. Compressor, canister, orifice, o-rings, etc... and, by the way, the water pump was bad, and needed a fan clutch! I was quoted over $1800.00 (Really?)! The truck is blue booked at $4700.00. It was apparent to me, the technician did not troubleshoot the system the first time I came. Especially with his explanation of the gurgling sounds. I went to the local parts store, with the quote, and picked up OEM parts for $285.00, came home, installed them myself, then took the truck to a local repair shop and had the A/C system evacuated and serviced, for $80.00, and now the A/C system runs fantastic, AND no gurgling sounds! I have purchased 2 cars from the Sandy Sansing group, a G35 and a Murano, and had great service. This was the first time I have been dissatisfied, and am not sure when, or if, I will be bringing any of my vehicles there for repairs. More

I purchased a 2009 Chevy Colorado from Sandy Sansing in July 2009. I got great deal! Jo Reese was an excellent salesperson and helped me get all the available rebates as well as the great price on a truck July 2009. I got great deal! Jo Reese was an excellent salesperson and helped me get all the available rebates as well as the great price on a truck that had been on the lot a long time. I was impressed enough to go back and try to buy another car this year. The service was once again excellent, they just couldn't match the trade quote of another dealer. I will still consider Sandy Sansing for my next vehicle. More

We knew that we wanted a Lexus and would buy in Pensacola, fl. We did our research and found two dealerships with the vehicle we wanted. Both were around the same price and quality of vehicle. Bo Pensacola, fl. We did our research and found two dealerships with the vehicle we wanted. Both were around the same price and quality of vehicle. Both salespeople knew that we would be driving to Car City in Pensacola to look at their Lexus 330's. The salesman at the other dealership called me at 8am to make a hard pre-sale. Gus at Sandy Sansing did not bother us except to answer any questions and offer us complete service. We felt no hard sales tactics and liked that very much. He had great knowledge of his product and was honest and friendly. Gus was a great salesperson! We bought the vehicle from Sandy Sansing, our sales person at the other dealership didn't even get a visit. We are a very particular couple who know what we want and will walk out if not satisfied. We were very satisfied with our service. Thanks Gus!!! More
