El Dorado Chevrolet

Couple of words... Is "ARRgghhhh" a word? I wish I would have seen this rating before I went here. I probably still would have gone, but I would have been more cautious. 3-Weeks ago, I purc I wish I would have seen this rating before I went here. I probably still would have gone, but I would have been more cautious. 3-Weeks ago, I purchased a cash car (2006 Volkswagen Jetta). Test drive went great, and paid cash for car. I also (luckily) took out a warranty through AUL ($600) for 2-years. Car broke down before I got home. Seems transmission was bad, and didn't show until driven over 20-miles (test drive was probably 10). Ahhh, but I have a warranty, or so I thought. Car is now repaired ($1496), but they won't release until they get funds from AUL (warranty company). AUL won't release funds until they receive paperwork from El Dorado. El Dorado seems to be dragging their feet, as it has been 3-weeks, and they were going to "overnight" the paperwork (that was 2 days ago). Sales manager said I could trade car back in if that would make things right. :-/ ??? I just got it fixed, why would I want to trade it back in?? So now, I wait for Eldorado to do their job. AARRgghhh But, like I said before, I would have gone there anyway, so... "IF" you buy a used car and IF you take out the warranty, be sure they send paperwork in at that moment. BTW, there is a 600 mile minimum on the warranty, in other words, if the car breaks down in the first 600 miles, you get to go through this hassle. Buyers be warned. More

Great experience! I purchased a pre-owned vehicle from Jacob Self and it was a very pleasant experience. He was very easy to work with and not pushy, which is my favor I purchased a pre-owned vehicle from Jacob Self and it was a very pleasant experience. He was very easy to work with and not pushy, which is my favorite way of buying anything. Justin Griffin was very professional and friendly, helping to resolve a small hiccup without hesitation.

The worst, I would not recommend to anyone. I live 9 hours from the dealership and I contacted Dominic to purchase a vehicle, we agreed to the purchase price of $30K and repairs of prior hail d I live 9 hours from the dealership and I contacted Dominic to purchase a vehicle, we agreed to the purchase price of $30K and repairs of prior hail damage. I agreed to purchase the car then I called them and made a $1,000.00 dollar non-refundable deposit and was instructed to go online and do my online financing. Which I did, they ran my credit which is excellent. I thought the car was mine. I received a call from Justin the sales manager saying that the deal we had agreed upon was being retracted and requested an additional $5K for a total of $35K as anyone would do I told him we already had a deal he was very rude and told me we had no deal. If I still want the vehicle I needed to pay $35,000.00. I declined the offer as anyone would after already agreeing to $30K. Then I could not get a returning phone call back from any of the general sales managers that I had left messages for. Would not recommend to anyone to purchase a vehicle. Thank you for your time.

They will rip you off Charged my 19 yr old who is a single mother and student over $2000 to fix an oil leak. Told us the estimate Monday late afternoon, we called Tuesday Charged my 19 yr old who is a single mother and student over $2000 to fix an oil leak. Told us the estimate Monday late afternoon, we called Tuesday morning at 7:30am and told them NOT to fix it and they told us that they had already fixed it. They told me there was 17 hours labor ($200 part, and the rest is labor)....so from Monday evening till Tuesday morning, 17 hours labor!!!???? I don't think so. The Sales Manager was very rude and compared the "exorbitant" price of car repair to my job in the medical field. Comparing apples to oranges, and besides that, why are we even discussing my job, what about the $2400 to fix an oil leak???? I will spend the rest of my days telling everyone I know not to go to this horrible dealership/service department where they fix issues without your permission, overcharge by thousands and treat customers like crap. Oh, and the best part, the service manger tells me the work is guaranteed for a year, so I ask for something in writing and he laughs and says "that's a new one! No one ever asks for that!" I say "Really, you have a guarantee, but you're not willing to put it in writing. This place is so trustworthy, that I'm sure a written guarantee is not needed! (SARCASM)" Terrible, terrible place! DO NOT GO HERE! More

Preowned vehicle purchase I purchased my first vehicle from Eldorado December of last year. I was amazed at the coutious, professional and helpful staff! I was not there long I purchased my first vehicle from Eldorado December of last year. I was amazed at the coutious, professional and helpful staff! I was not there long and the price was what was discussed prior to arriving. There were no games just strait forward I liked that and will be back for another vehicle. More

Can't even diagnose I took my car in to get a check engine light diagnosed after my mechanic could not figure it out. They told me it was a bad fuel pump and were going I took my car in to get a check engine light diagnosed after my mechanic could not figure it out. They told me it was a bad fuel pump and were going to charge twice as much as my mechanic. So I pay my $120 diagnosis fee and take it to my mechanic to do the work. Light still comes on and the dealership wants me to pay another $120 for another diagnosis. So I paid $120 for the wrong diagnosis and over $500 for a fuel pump and my cel is still coming on. Needless to say, they will not get any more of my business. More

Absolutely Horrible Do not take your vehicle here unless you absolutely have to. Not only are they dude but they're the slowest I've ever encountered. Their "service" ad Do not take your vehicle here unless you absolutely have to. Not only are they dude but they're the slowest I've ever encountered. Their "service" advisors are completely clueless, maybe if they had less of them and more actual mechanics they'd actually get something done in good time. HORRIBLE ! And unless it's under warranty you'll pay double More

Dishonest Service Took my 2500HD in to their body shop for 7k in hail repair. It took 3 months to get an appointment due to a backlog which was understandable. When I Took my 2500HD in to their body shop for 7k in hail repair. It took 3 months to get an appointment due to a backlog which was understandable. When I dropped it off I ask if they were still on schedule and they said they were and it would be out in a week. 28 days later it was still in the shop and my other truck had a check engine light come on. So I spent $600 to go down and pick up a rental for the week and took my 1500 into Eldorado Service Department. Along the check engine light I also ask them to check out the shocks, brakes, battery, belt, and change all the fluids. Oscar from the service department calls next day and says its the throttle body and needs new shocks. Oscar said the throttle body was 6-7 hundred and shocks about 4-6 hundred, brakes 400. With the other things I asked for the total bill was going to be 2k to 2,500. I told Oscar that sounded great to get it fixed. When I went to pick up the 1500 4 days later I fell out when the bill said 4,500. Over 2k more than he quoted me. In looking at that bill the throttle body was close to 1200 and they added plugs, wires, and a reprogram fee. Then the 600 set of shocks he sold ended up at 1342 with struts. Brakes were also couple hundred over quote. Oscar was their and I questioned him on what the xxxx was going on. He looked at me and couldn't speak because he didn't have an answer because he knew that he never quoted me anything close to that. I then threw the money down and left before things got ugly and I couldn't control myself over ridden with anger. After I leave the service bay I start calling all my buddies with toys because we all use the same places for our buisnesses and services. One of them says "Hey I know a Mr. Gibbs the big wig up there." So he sends him a text and I hear NOTHING. So by choosing Eldorado Chevrolet incompetent services it has cost me over 2,600. I have used this company for over 20 years and bought over 10 cars here along with using the service department and paying them over 10k a year. This year alone between my fleet and personal cars I have spent 22k in service department and body shop. I have called every person I know and told them to STOP dealing with them on every level. They just lost the sale of 7 2500HD fleet trucks from a friend of mine and 2 more I have hail damage on. By the time in done I will cost this company a million in business in my lifetime for dishonest service. After scrolling through all these reviews online I should have not been dealing with them in the first place. I have never seen such unhappy customers in all my life. Looks like they need to find better services advisors and a new service manager. DO NOT make the same mistakes I have made and take your car somewhere else you will be glad you did. I will also be contacting GM directly as well as the BBB. More

Should have read the reviews before wasting my time I was contacted by Steve Miller the Sales guy via email, I wanted to be straight forward with him before coming to his dealership. I emailed Steve ex I was contacted by Steve Miller the Sales guy via email, I wanted to be straight forward with him before coming to his dealership. I emailed Steve exactly what I was looking for, as they ALL do he said come in and I will help you out. He was nice enough to come in on his day off as we had an appt @ 6pm, after he arrived after 6pm he took in another client, at 635 my fiance and I sat down in his office to start the spiel of this is how banks work, they like trade ins (which I already had explained I did not have), they like money down (which I already had explained that I did not have one). So my fiance calmly asked Steve to get to the point, is she getting the car of not (seeing that we had been emailing back and forth ) Steve the Car Sales guy...said " I DONT LIKE YOUR TONE YOU CAN LEAVE!" Uh seriously, I was stunned to say the least. My fiance was stunned as well, but I had been talking to this guy for two days and really wanted to leave with a car so I excused his behavior, just for him to turn around and say " I SAID YOU COULD LEAVE" Dont have to tell me twice, we left...did I mention we sat down at 6:35 and we were on the road leaving at 6:46! DO NOT GO TO THIS DEALERSHIP !!! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME !!!!!! More
