The service department staff has been great. Doug has taken care of the issues we have had with our Jeep Grand Cherokee. The staff is always very courteous. More

I have never had a worse experience at a dealership. The service dept hustles customers, especially women. I know this from my own experience and hearing others tell me about theirs. I bought my vehicle More

It has obly gotten worse. I had sensors go out yet again had them fixed Fri. They went ourlt on monday. When I called the service dept and daid it was upsetting to have same issue 3 days after bwing fixed the service MANAGER told me "I dont want anymore of your bad reviews so you should just take your business elsewhere." I ended up speaking to sales manager and owner of the dealership after both incidents. Thought all was ok, then recieved a text from service tech about my vehicle that is currently in their shop. Needing something done that. They don't have the equipment for yet. Earlier this month, the same service manager proceeded to tell me that I needed the exact same thing done to my car and was going to charge me x amount of dollars because it wasn't covered under warranty. And could make me an appointment for it. Really? Truly makes a person start to i think that this entire service department, or could it even be the entire dealership? Has an illegal scam side hustle on the side? Because I keep getting conflicting answers to things with my vehicle. Things are covered or not covered by warranty. They do have the equipment to have appointments or they don't have the equipment. I've never gotten a straight answer. Anywhere
