This dealership has taken care of my vehicle since we moved to Des Moines. They have taken good care of my vehicle except for one aspect. We were going in a long driving trip and the dealer talked me int moved to Des Moines. They have taken good care of my vehicle except for one aspect. We were going in a long driving trip and the dealer talked me into getting new tires. Tires are not cheap. We purchased the tires. With less than 30,000 miles on those tires, we were told that they needed to be changed and were becoming unsafe. If the product I was purchasing was only going to last that short of a time, I would not have purchased them. The last oil change I was given a quote for the third time on new tires. To be honest, I am trying to decide if I want to purchase them at the dealer. Still trying to decide. More
