Stevinson Chevrolet

Recently I became the owner of my first Chevy through an inheritance (I've always been a Toyota Truck man). Although this vehicle is 9 years old, it only has 50,000 miles on it. I took the car in for serv inheritance (I've always been a Toyota Truck man). Although this vehicle is 9 years old, it only has 50,000 miles on it. I took the car in for service for a gas gauge that had stopped working. The list of recommended work came back at a whooping $2,300 on a vehicle only worth $3,400. Some of the work recommended seemed to be overkill. For instance, new brakes were recommended even though I'd just replaced them in the last 5,000 miles. The frustrating thing is that the dealership didn't really seem willing to talk the different recommendations and what's immediately necessary and what's not. I felt like they either wanted to make $2,000 off of me in repairs or sell me a new car. I'd hope that the dealership would be someone that would be honest with me, but obvioiusly they're interested in sales... not customer relationships. So, what I learned is that either one of two things must be true. 1) When you get a chevy you can only expect to get 50,000 miles out of the a chevy before it needs more work done than the car is worth or 2) this dealership only has an interest in selling you a new car. I suspect the later. More

My parents had bought their previous two cars at this dealership and had good experiences both times, so I thought for my first real car buying experience I would go to this "stealership." Well, I realiz dealership and had good experiences both times, so I thought for my first real car buying experience I would go to this "stealership." Well, I realize that "buyer beware" is a very true warning when it comes to buying a car, but it was my first time and I got royally screwed. They ended up selling me a car that I found out later had been wrecked. Thankfully the car is very reliable and, after having it checked over, was found to be structurally sound. They saw me coming, I am sure, from a mile away. Now I know how NOT to buy a car and where NOT to go! More
