Angel is the reason that service visit stays easy, W. Thank you for being willing to send friends and family our way. A family-owned store in Somerset County is built on guests who come back.

Communication was terrible. I had to go back many times until I got some real help. Took 7 weeks to fix my car. I received a lot of snarky replies from my rep. More

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you encountered. Waiting seven weeks for a repair and having to repeatedly seek updates is not the level of service we strive to provide. At Bridgewater Chevrolet, we are committed to clear communication, transparency, and delivering a positive ownership experience. Based on your feedback, it is clear we fell short of those expectations, and for that I am truly sorry. I would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened and discuss your concerns personally. Please feel free to contact me directly at Roger@BridgewaterChevy.com so I can review your experience and see what we can do to make things right. Thank you again for your feedback. It helps us improve and better serve our customers. Roger Hendon General Manager Bridgewater Chevrolet Roger@BridgewaterChevy.com
