Sometimes Bad News Still Deserves Five Stars
I understand how important reviews are to the next person trying to decide whom they can trust, so I wanted to take the time to write this one.
I brought my 20-year-old Cadillac DTS to Hennessy Cadillac after seeing a special they were offering for a diagnostic inspection. I have never been in the habit of taking an older car back to a dealership, so I really didn't know what to expect.
Unfortunately, the inspection uncovered considerably more than I was prepared for, and the cost of putting a 20-year-old Cadillac back into ideal condition was well beyond what I could reasonably spend.
What impressed me most was how I was treated once that became obvious. There was no pressure and no attempt to make me feel uncomfortable because I wasn't going to authorize thousands of dollars in repairs. Instead, I was treated with kindness, compassion and respect.
They provided a detailed inspection, video and written report that gave me information I genuinely needed to make an informed decision about this car. Then, knowing I wasn't authorizing the repairs, they washed and vacuumed my Cadillac and returned it to me without charging me a dime.
That may sound like a small thing, but it wasn't small to me.
This particular DTS has sentimental value, and getting difficult news about a car you've had an attachment to isn't particularly fun. Hennessy handled the entire situation with professionalism and genuine kindness.
I went there expecting a diagnosis. I left with valuable information, a beautifully cleaned car, and considerable respect for the way Hennessy Cadillac treated me when there wasn't a big repair bill waiting for them at the end.
When the time comes to shop for another vehicle, Hennessy will certainly be a dealership I remember.
