Wasn’t Lowest price dealer around, but did get there fairly easily, but best Facility by far.

The first time, the pressure sensors didn't work. Next, they changed the sensors, but the tires wobbled like they weren't balanced. Finally, they re-balanced them at no charge. Runs fine now.

Unable to follow directions I have used this dealership many times and always had the same poor experience. They don’t listen to the customer. Usually it’s not giving me a call w I have used this dealership many times and always had the same poor experience. They don’t listen to the customer. Usually it’s not giving me a call when I ask them to but this time was worse. We all know dealerships use air tool to do most of their work. Them doing so damaged my lug nuts so much that I was unable to put the 19mm socket onto the nut. I had to replace the full set of lug nuts. So during this visit I specifically asked them not to use the air gun on the lug nuts. When my car came out I can clearly see that they did. I already have marks where you can see they are starting to be stripped. You may ask why I keep going back and the answer is simply because it’s free service that came with the car. But as we all know, nothing is free. Very dissatisfied with this service department. More
