I did not yell at anyone, I never yelled at anyone in my life!! She did however ask me twice if I changed my mind and would like to pay the fee with a smile on her face, didn’t see tears, and anyone to cry! 2- The Police officer was so pleasant when he left you and started talking to us, he made sure we are OK and we confirmed to him that the issue was resolved. I never saw him yelling or raising his hands while he was talking to you. 3- I wonder why would you sue me and “allow the legal system to do its job” when your business is the one that backed out after I called the police? I wish you the best of luck in your legal pursuit and yes, I will not visit your business any more. ***Original review: I won't judge this business "except with my star rating" but I will put in my experience and what occurred to share with you guys and see if you really want to do business with this place where you end up calling the police on them: I own a 2015 Dodge Journey RT AWD, very nice vehicle, I take the family out in long trips whenever we have a chance or in my downtime. One day, I was driving it and noticed that the engine hesitates when trying to go over 50 mph. Not the best news for me as I care of this car! This is the first time I visit this dealership and I drop off the car, here how it went: Me: "Dropping off the car to be checked as it seems the engine is hesitating and jerking when accelerating". Them: "sure, it will be $113 to diagnose the problem and then will let you know of the cost of repair and can go from there". Me: "Great, please take your time and please call me when you find out what's going on" Around 4:30 they call me. Them: "The technician checked the car and you are right, the engine is hesitating and jerking when accelerating. For him to find out what's causing that we want you to authorize us to diagnose the engine and this will cost $360". Me: "but you guys said it is going to be $113?" Them: "The $360 doesn't substitute the $113, it is an additional amount to be paid" !!! Me, after choking on my breaths: "I'm coming to pick up the car" I went to the dealership to pick up the car and they still want to charge me $113 for a diagnosis that was not completed. The only outcome of this so-called diagnosis is as mentioned above "The technician checked the car and you are right, the engine is hesitating and jerking when accelerating." If I drop a car mentioning that the engine is hesitating, how do you charge me $113 just to tell me the exact same thing "the engine is hesitating"? I asked to speak to a manager, the manager came and said that they couldn't complete the diagnosis because I don't want to pay an additional $360. I informed him that the agreement is to pay $113 for the diagnosis, not $113 and a surprising additional $360. I asked him not to charge me $113 diagnosis fee because there was no diagnosis, and the outcome is that they couldn't identify the problem and only told me you are right, the engine is hesitating. The manager insisted that I pay the fee even when the diagnosis is not done or completed, or he is holding the car key until I pay. I informed him that I'm calling the police department and he said OK. I called the police requesting for an officer to come over "the dealership staff are listening". I informed the police that my car keys are being held at the dealership since they are asking me to pay for a service that hasn't been done. Few moments later, the manager approached me and said "OK, here is your diagnosis, your car coils are bad", I told him "but I thought you wanted me to pay $360 to diagnose the engine and find out what's the problem. Now you say it's the coils, after I called the police? So why you asked for the additional $360 too? Is it really the coils?". Few moments later, the advisor that was supposedly taking care of my car, Keisha, very nice-looking gal, yet so deceiving and so eager to get me pay the additional $113 + $360, comes out and says that the manager agreed to take out the $113. After this ordeal, I took the car keys and before I leave I call the police department again and let them know that the issue has been resolved, and that the officer doesn't need to come over. I thanked them for the notion of sending him to the dealership "but the office came anyway". after all, this played a good part in making the dealership realize how invalid the $113 charge that they were asking from me. Parties involved: Jeff Klein, John Lutane and Keisha Tranbarger. Did I really need to pay them the diagnosis fee for a diagnosis that never happened? For a diagnosis outcome where they only tell me "The technician checked the car and you are right, the engine is hesitating and jerking when accelerating."? And then hold the car keys until I pay them for no service? More
Oil change Quick and very informative. I learned of the oil change packages and cost for individual changes. I learned that I could drive more than 3K miles per Quick and very informative.

Did not honor contractual agreement Worked out a deal in the purchase to get 2 years of free oil changes with a "WE OWE YOU" document. Every time I went in, the maintenance staff harasse Worked out a deal in the purchase to get 2 years of free oil changes with a "WE OWE YOU" document. Every time I went in, the maintenance staff harassed me and even told me there's no way I have that agreement. They would try to claim it was only 2 free oil changes and I used them up. They made it a trouble every single time. I had to bring in the document to make sure they gave me the deal as they contractually agreed to. They even scanned it and put it in their system for future reference. Well, I lost the document when I moved recently and they denied me the free oil changes as they agreed to contractually. Very dirty and unprofessional. Would NOT suggest purchasing a car from them and working out any contractual deals because they will NOT honor them. More
Beware Don't let the smiles fool you. I had a good experience the first couple of times I visited this service department so I came back, but when it comes t Don't let the smiles fool you. I had a good experience the first couple of times I visited this service department so I came back, but when it comes to more complicated problems, they earn the time old reputation dealerships have for poor diagnostics and hidden mark ups.

Customer service was horrible!!!!!!! I had my Charger towed here a couple of weeks ago. The service was fast but it was not good quality service. I am having multiple problems with my car I had my Charger towed here a couple of weeks ago. The service was fast but it was not good quality service. I am having multiple problems with my car and I just got it back today. What kind of reputable car dealership lets their customers live of their lot with a flat tire. Are you guys like money hungry that you could not put air in my tire because I was not paying for it? They had my car for a couple of weeks and there was no gas, a pulled off the lot and went right around the corner to the gas station before the highway and put the car in park. After I got gas the car would not leave the park potion. I called back to the service center thinking that someone would come around the corner to help me but I was told to get it towed back to them and they will take a look at it and let me know how much its going to cost me. I was horrified!!! I guess it is true what they say, if you are not paying, because my car was there for a few recalls, they will do something to your car to make you come back and pay. Never again will I take my car here again, nor will I recommend that anyone I know go there. How could they just leave a customer stranded like that. If I was a man, this probable would not have happened. More
