Brian was great to deal with from start to finish. He found exactly what the wife wanted and made it happen. They were willing to understand the situation and made us feel important/desired. More

Thank you for your loyalty and for purchasing multiple vehicles from Jim Butler Chevrolet over the past 20 years. We're thrilled to hear that our sales team has consistently earned your trust and provided great experiences. We're sorry to hear that your experiences with our service department have not met the same standard. We understand how frustrating it can be when expectations are not clearly set and communication falls short. Not knowing how long the drop-off process will take, when your vehicle will be completed, or receiving limited updates along the way can leave customers feeling inconvenienced and uncertain, and we sincerely apologize if that was your experience. Providing a respectful and efficient experience is important to us, and we're disappointed to hear we fell short. I you would like to further discuss your experience, please feel free to contact Service Director Chuck Geringer at cgeringer@jimbutlerautogroup.com. Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback.

Jim Butler Chevrolet responded

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be when service takes longer than expected, especially when you have an appointment and rely on your vehicle every day. While appointments help us reserve time in our schedule, certain diagnostic and repair concerns can require additional time for proper inspection and repair. We know being without your vehicle is an inconvenience, and we're sorry for the frustration this caused. Your feedback is important, and we will share it with our service team as we continue working to improve communication, scheduling, and overall customer convenience. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Jim Butler Chevrolet responded

Thank you for your feedback and for recommending our dealership and Brian. We're delighted to hear that Brian provided excellent service and helped make your vehicle purchase a positive experience. At the same time, we're very sorry to hear about your frustration with the financing process. We understand your concerns regarding your pre-approved credit union financing and the additional credit inquiries that occurred. We recognize how disappointing it can be when you've already secured financing and expect the process to follow a specific path, only to encounter unexpected changes that impact your loan terms and monthly payment. We appreciate you sharing these details, as customer feedback helps us improve our processes and communication. Your comments regarding the handling of pre-approved financing will be reviewed with our team to help ensure customers' financing preferences are clearly understood and respected. Thank you again for your business and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.
