my cars engine or worse. On 11 February 2026, I took my car (2023 Challenger Scatpack) with 15k miles into the Dodge dealership for an issue I was experiencing with my drivers side window. After they diagnosed and ordered a part for that issue, I was on my way back to work, or so I thought. About 2 miles down the road my battery indicator light came on, then a strange squealing noise started underneath my hood. I immediately pulled over, looked under the hood, only to see my balled up serpentine belt staring back at me. My PCV valve hose also decided to join the shenanigans.
I am extremely meticulous with my vehicles. I strongly believe that the technician during the initial routine 27 point inspection, removed my drivers side valve cover to get to my oil fill cap. Which wasn't put back on properly and my oil fill cap had oil/grime all over it. So I know the technician serviced that area. Either he accidentally or intentionally removed the pcv valve hose which was never reinstalled, which fell into the drive pulleys and caused the serpentine belt to jump off.
As of today 18 February 2026. A new A/C compressor is going to be installed onto my car because I was informed it had failed. I also have a video of the dealership driving my car into the maintenance bay without a serpentine belt on it and my hood completely open. The technician drove it this way for about 1000 ft. If this happened to me, I'm fairly certain its accepted practice.

I had to contact them for an update. They were saying my vehicle required “immediate attention” on items they did literally two months prior.
A repair which was $900 and requiring “immediate attention” was under warranty and they did not realize it until I brought it up.
The threshold trim is light gray and I received it very dirty. Lots of black stains from them getting in and out, terrible. (No pride in their work)
I cannot stand stealerships.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Communication and transparency are very important to us, and it’s concerning to hear that you had to reach out for updates rather than being contacted directly. We also apologize for the confusion regarding the repair that was still under warranty. That should have been identified and communicated clearly from the beginning. Additionally, the condition of your threshold trim when the vehicle was returned is not the level of care we expect our team to provide.
Your feedback about stewardship and pride in workmanship is taken seriously, and we will be addressing these concerns with our team so situations like this can be avoided in the future. If you’re willing, we would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly and make this right. Please reach out to our service manager at (580) 771-3323 at your earliest convenience.
Quick and friendly service.
Updates were provided periodically while I waited. It is always great experience. I have never had issues in the 2+ years that I have been servicing

We’re sorry to hear this has been your experience. An oil change should not be taking well over two hours, especially when you’ve scheduled an appointment. We also expect every customer to be treated with courtesy and respect, so it’s concerning to hear that your interactions at the front desk have not felt that way. For future visits, we would like to offer to pick up your vehicle from your home or work, perform the services requested, and then deliver it back to you.Your feedback will be shared with our team so we can address both the wait times and the level of customer service being provided.
Great service, great atmosphere great people I would
recommend to family friends colleagues everybody and then some.
