Exceptional SUV Purchase We found the year/model of SUV we wanted online and drove from Eugene to Bend to see it.

Brian Bower was excellent to work with at Lithia, and made the trip worth it. He had a very thorough technical knowledge of the SUV we wanted and carefully made sure we were investing in the right vehicle for the right reasons. We own our cars for a long time and both he and Randy Bowman carefully guided us through Lithia's 100,000 mile extended service agreement. I'm HIGHLY skeptical of 'extend warranties'. Lithia's extended service agreement is unique and we are glad we invested in it. It will save money and extend the useful life of our SUV. During the process we learned first hand that this Lithia dealership stands by their word. Integrity is rarely found at car dealerships. We found it with this team. We'll be back for our next car.

Brian made sure we found the right truck FIRST :) In the market for a 1/2 ton truck and I shopped 3 different brands and dealerships before pulling the trigger on a new Silverado Trail Boss with Brian In the market for a 1/2 ton truck and I shopped 3 different brands and dealerships before pulling the trigger on a new Silverado Trail Boss with Brian at Bend Chevy. Brian was adamant about making sure we narrowed in on the exact right truck for me first... which was a bit tricky because I wanted some of the upgraded package options but needed a bench seat up front to fit my family of 6. Needless to say... WE FOUND IT... though not here in Bend. Brian and I scoped out the just-right-for-me truck and scoured dealerships within 400 miles of Bend, and ended up finding EXACTLY what I wanted on a lot in Redding. Brian had the truck delivered to Bend at no extra cost and I was really happy with the final price (no haggling needed) and promos offered by Chevy. Scott Keller made signing all the docs a breeze and was personal, not pushy like a lot of finance guys can be. The wife has had her eye on a Suburban for a while now and we'll definitely hit up Brian when the time comes to upgrade her minivan with a new burb! More

They know better than you During my visit I was immediately met by Jared Peterson who was very friendly and I recommend him highly. The problem came later when I was introduced During my visit I was immediately met by Jared Peterson who was very friendly and I recommend him highly. The problem came later when I was introduced to another salesperson, Brian Bower. My experience with him was very negative so that my overall impression of the dealership was negative. I was interested in the Chevy Colorado diesel with the access cab and long bed, yet Brian Bower kept insisting Chevrolet doesn't offer the diesel engine in the access cab. Chevy obviously does as I found it on the Chevrolet website before visiting the dealership. Yet Brian kept telling me they don't make one. Then he questioned me on why I would want a diesel anyway and why I don't want the gasoline version. Who is he to question me on my preferences. So just know that anyone who deals with Mr. Bower at the Chevy dealership in Bend must have their preferences approved by him before he will sell you a vehicle. Then he tried to recommend the crew cab version to me, even after I told him I don't want the crew cab. I mentioned how I was pretty sure it would not fit in my garage and so he then criticized the size of my garage. The gall of this guy is almost unbelievable. Next he lied to me about the gasoline engine used in the Chevy Colorado. In trying to convince me that I should purchase a gas version instead of the diesel, he proceeded to tell me how that particular engine was used in numerous other Chevy vehicles and he proceeded to name several. The Corvette stuck out in my mind. After I got home later, I decided to check his facts. I cannot find a single Corvette that uses the same engine as the 6 cylinder Colorado. It is reasonable to assume at this point that he lied about the entire list. Brian Bower will use any tactics, especially lying and confrontation to sell a vehicle. Though I can't judge the entire dealership on the actions of one salesperson, a dealership that would employ Brian Bower must condone his behavior. Therefore I do not recommend this dealership to anyone. More
