If I could negative star I would. STAY CLEAR OF HERE. Service advisor told us purge pump was covered but could not get parts because GM had parts on a shipping freeze. The next day h STAY CLEAR OF HERE. Service advisor told us purge pump was covered but could not get parts because GM had parts on a shipping freeze. The next day he calls and says he misspoke and that it is not covered under warranty but the part could be received the follow week. Bait and switch tactics at its finest. When we came to pickup vehicle wife stated she was there to pick her piece of shi* vehicle. Andrew stated which ones. Sounds like this dealership has many!!! Asked to speak to general manager of criswell after speaking with GM themselves and never received a call from him. Overall horrible experience and would never recommend purchasing or servicing a vehicle from Criswell. More

If they can't figure it out I'm trading it it in or other options. Paid a lot of money for this truck. It's a nuisance to listen your door rattling all the time. RG More
