I wish I could give zero stars. My experience at Cochran Chevrolet's service department was a masterclass in how not to run a business.

It started with my service rep, Jerry, who, after a few days, told me my car needed significant repairs, including a new thermostat and potentially a broken valve spring. Throughout the initial back-and-forth text updates, I repeatedly confirmed they would work with my Car Shield warranty. After about a week, the story took a sharp turn when I reached out for an update and was answered by the service manager, Angela Rupert. She informed me that Jerry was on vacation and that, actually, my car just had some carbon buildup. Then came the kicker: she claimed they didn't accept Car Shield, a fact that was conveniently ignored the entire time my car was there. Fed up with the conflicting stories, I told her to stop all work and that I would pay for the diagnostic labor and take my car. When I arrived, Angela Rupert proved to be one of the nastiest, most unprofessional people I have ever dealt with. My car was sitting outside, yet she refused to give me my keys because I was "visibly upset." She never once offered an apology for the contradictory information. Instead, she became incredibly defensive, claiming I was disparaging "her" business and condescendingly suggesting I must have misunderstood the situation. As someone who has built a 34-year career in business-to-business financial sales—where listening and understanding are critical—this was particularly insulting. In a bizarre attempt to silence me, she said she would charge me nothing so I couldn't complain to the BBB or the Attorney General. After a heated exchange where she falsely claimed my car wasn't ready (I was literally looking at it), I finally got my keys and left. The final insult? I drove up the street, turned my car off, and it wouldn't start again. My battery, which was only two weeks old, was completely dead. They had to jump it just to move it and never said a word. This dealership's service department is a circus of incompetence and deception. Jerry and Angela Rupert are a disservice to the Cochran name. I will be sharing this story far and wide and have already filed complaints. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place like the plague. More
This place has the worst service department I’ve ever experienced. It seems that they truly are #1 but not in a good way. It appears the service department is poorly managed. It shouldn’t take 90 minutes experienced. It seems that they truly are #1 but not in a good way. It appears the service department is poorly managed. It shouldn’t take 90 minutes for an oil change that was scheduled. It appears they are understaffed but scheduling as if they are fully staffed? The department itself seemed to be mismanaged. I wasn’t the only one waiting extremely long for a service. Poor scheduling, poor service, poor management. More
Dear Cochran Buick GMC Youngstown, I hope this review finds you well. I am writing to express my urgent need for a headlamp for my 2016 Buick Enclave, which has been in the repair shop for over two mo finds you well. I am writing to express my urgent need for a headlamp for my 2016 Buick Enclave, which has been in the repair shop for over two months due to damages sustained. After an extensive search, it has come to my attention that your establishment is the only place where this particular part is available. Regrettably, I have encountered a significant obstacle in procuring the needed headlamp. Despite my willingness to cover all associated expenses, including shipping costs, I have been informed by your shop that the part is available for local pick-up only, with no option for shipment. Given the circumstances and the extended duration my vehicle has been undergoing repairs, I implore you to reconsider your policy and accommodate my request for the shipment of the headlamp. This would greatly expedite the resolution of the repair process and alleviate the inconvenience I have endured. I understand and appreciate any logistical constraints your shop may face, but I kindly request your assistance in finding a feasible solution to this predicament. Your cooperation in this matter would be immensely appreciated. Sincerely, Rob Z More

I bought a used Hyundai Elantra 5 months ago at which time they said they checked the vehicle and found nothing to report. Within 1 month it needed a new front headlight which I wasn’t that concerned abo time they said they checked the vehicle and found nothing to report. Within 1 month it needed a new front headlight which I wasn’t that concerned about yet A couple months after that and about a month after they changed the oil it ran out of oil When we took it in they couldn’t find anything, charged me $150 and told me they couldn’t find anything, it wasn’t covered under the extended warranty, and it could have been that someone didn’t change the oil correctly - when I reminded them they changed the oil they backtracked and said their tests were not conclusive and I needed to take it to a Hyundai dealer. I took it to Preston Hyundai who checked it for free and couldn’t find anything wrong with the car after running a diagnostic. The car had about 78000 miles on it and we have driven it less than 3000 since then and last week we had to get the brakes replaced and the air filter which was totally clogged (Cochran did not change it during the oil change) I have bought used cars before but this a the first time I bought from Sweeney/Cochran and will never buy a vehicle from them again Buyer beware More
