Two Engine Failures in Our 2024 Tahoe – Buyer Beware (Seacoast Chevrolet) We financed a 2024 High Country Tahoe from Seacoast Chevrolet in May 2025 and were very diligent about bringing the truck bac (Seacoast Chevrolet) We financed a 2024 High Country Tahoe from Seacoast Chevrolet in May 2025 and were very diligent about bringing the truck back to the dealership for all recommended maintenance and service. In December 2025, the engine completely failed while my husband was driving our daughter home from school. Thankfully they were safe, but he was stranded on the side of the road for over four hours waiting for OnStar assistance. The truck was towed to Seacoast Chevrolet, where we were informed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. We were shocked but trusted the dealership’s service department to handle the situation properly. After almost five weeks, the truck was finally repaired with a new engine, bringing us into the first week of January. Less than two months later, the engine failed again. On February 27, we found ourselves back at Seacoast Chevrolet dealing with Tim in the service department, who was extremely rude and unable to offer us a loaner vehicle. Our busy family of four was left without a car for the weekend. We then began dealing with Alex, the service director, who initially seemed helpful but quickly started giving conflicting information and empty promises. One day we were told the replacement engine was in stock, and two days later we were told it was suddenly on backorder. We were promised updates and return phone calls that never happened. When I asked to speak with the owner of the dealership, I was denied and told to contact corporate instead. Alex told us our information would be sent to the general manager and that we would receive a call with an update from both him and the GM that same day. We never received a call. I have since opened a case with Chevrolet Corporate, where I spoke with a very kind representative named LoLena, and expressed my concerns. At this point, I am honestly afraid to drive my children in this vehicle after two engine failures in such a short period of time. The only positive part of our experience at this dealership was Joe, our sales representative, who we really liked. Joe — if you see this — you deserve better. Bottom line: If you want to buy a Chevy, buy it somewhere else. Otherwise you may end up like we are — waiting for a second engine replacement while paying over $1,000 per month for a brand-new truck that doesn’t even work. At this point, with two engine failures in less than a year, we are beginning to explore our options under the state Lemon Law, because this situation is completely unacceptable for a brand-new vehicle. Absolutely unacceptable experience. More
This dealership is still using sales tactics from the 80’s, a total waste of time. I put a deposit down on a truck in good faith.

I have renewed my second lease when Mr. Anthony used to be the sales associate. Two days ago we received a ticket from freehold police because the registrations was not renewed. What I understood the deale be the sales associate. Two days ago we received a ticket from freehold police because the registrations was not renewed. What I understood the dealership is responsible for any dmv paperwork during the length of the lease contract. This new manager Brian was very unhelpful and he told that they were not responsible for the dmv. I spoke with the receptionist she was helpful by giving me the number of the lease company. This Brian try to get us to pay $101.00 for the renewal. Since Anthony and the previous manager Mr. Drew left I will not recommend anyone to do any business with this dealership . I’d get to pay the renewal we will not leasing anymore from this dealership. More
Been buying cars and trucks here since my first car at 16, and my father has bought 30+ vehicles from this dealership over his 50+ years of car ownership and I will never return. Recently came here to pic 16, and my father has bought 30+ vehicles from this dealership over his 50+ years of car ownership and I will never return. Recently came here to pick up two parts they carried in stock to do some work to my truck. Ended up having a major issue and not being able to get the rear hubs off of my dual rear wheel pick up truck so I came here to return the TWO parts and I’m being charged a 35% “handling fee” when they had to do 30 seconds worth of work to go get these parts off the shelf. F YOU SEACOAST. You’ve lost another 50 years of Frampton’s buying vehicles from you. SCREW YOU! I hope the 40 bucks you’re going to make on me returning two brand new sealed items was worth losing every sale the rest of my life that will never go to your dealership again. Absolutely despicable. Oh and they don’t even refund your credit card there, they take your name and address and allegedly will mail me a check sometime when they get to it. Worst parts experience I’ve ever had. More
I recently traded in my old car for a new Chevy Equinox and my experience at Seacoast Chevrolet was wonderful! After a very bad experience at another dealership selling a different brand of car, I was ver and my experience at Seacoast Chevrolet was wonderful! After a very bad experience at another dealership selling a different brand of car, I was very reluctant to go to any other dealership. After reading the previous great reviews about Seacoast Chevy, I decided to take a chance and visit the dealership. From my initial interaction with Fred, the individual who ended up selling me my car, I knew I was in the right place! Fred was very respectful of my budget and worked with me to ensure I could get the car for the best price possible all the while answering any questions I had with great patience. As Fred worked with me, the General Manager, Brian Broomell worked to get the best deal on the car I was trading in. Together, they made the whole sale possible! Walter, the Finance Manager, was incredibly thorough and walked me through the final stages of the buying process. He, like Fred, was respectful of my budget and worked with me. The receptionist was also kind in helping get bags to move my belongings from my old car to my new one. Overall, I cannot say enough about how positive my experience was. After having been a loyal customer to another brand, I now will consider Seacoast Chevy my place to go! More

I am very dissatisfied with the service department at SeaCoast. The service advisor left for the day without even letting me know that my car would not be ready till the next day. I only found out by c SeaCoast. The service advisor left for the day without even letting me know that my car would not be ready till the next day. I only found out by calling at around 4:45. Who does that? Then I get a call at 8 am the next day that now the car is ready. Really? I wonder what was done on my car after 5pm (techs gone) and before 8am that kept my car in the shop overnight? After expressing my dissatisfaction to the assistant manager, I get no understanding of the inconvenience caused to be without a car and no apology from the service advisor when I picked it up. It seems to me that SeaCoast Chevy doesn't care about customer satisfaction or the customer experience. More

Horrid Customer Service In short our expertise at SeaCoast Chevrolet a DiFeo family owned dealership was horrible. General Sales Manager Drew Anzalone was firm in being disco In short our expertise at SeaCoast Chevrolet a DiFeo family owned dealership was horrible. General Sales Manager Drew Anzalone was firm in being discourteous, unyielding, rude and unapologetic toward us regarding our issues; going as far as to tell us “we just want to be done” and that “it would have been better to sell the car to someone else.” All the while accusing us of not being able to be happy, he never once thought to ask us what would make us happy. The rest of the staff there have been nothing but curious and some even seem to share our issue with Mr. Anzalone. As of this review and several e-mails to management we are still waiting for someone to ask us how we can feel happy. A couple of months ago my girlfriend and I went about looking to replace my 2010 Camaro with a newer version that was convertible. We did our research and looked at several different Certified Pre-Owned Camaros in the area and ultimately made our final choice at SeaCoast Chevrolet. The car had some minor body issues with childish pin stripping and amateur applied alterations. They agreed to remove them and we were issued a “we owe” slip for the missing key and key fob. Two days after picking up our CPO Camaro we took a road trip to Daytona Beach, FL. We noticed things like the floor mats were missing, a small interior door trim piece was missing and the body was all scuffed up everywhere the pins tipping was. We notified the dealer and they agreed to replace the missing floor mats and resolve the other issues. We waited approximately two weeks for the keys to show up and another week or so for the mats to show up; at that time we went to the dealer in order to pick it all up and show the scratches. We were handed two actual keys without fob and floor mats from an Amazon box. We were told that they were only required to give us two keys and one fob and that was final. We complained to GM and have gone back and forth with issues. The “we owe” paperwork that would clear up the key fob issue has gone missing; which is in line with the CPO worksheet not being completely filled out, although they have an RO that shows some of the issues repaired other issues still remain. There are many more conversations and emails and problems but in the interest of keeping this short; I’ll say that beware of CPO vehicles they are not all the same and some dealers seem to spend more time on them in our experience than this one. On a side note I've been a Chevrolet and General Motors customer for most of my driving life. I've owned several Camaros, a Cobalt, Caddilacs, a Saturn and more. I've personally flown the GM banner and supported the brand in good times and bad. This experience has obviously impacted my allegiance to the brand. While the dealership may not be GM they are an arm of the company and represent it to the people. While Drew several times told us he would rather not have sold us this car -or taken ours in trade even though it is currently for sale at the dealership- he did; and all we want is to be happy with our CPO Chevrolet.
