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

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

Oil Change gone awry After arriving on time for a scheduled oil change and tire rotation, I checked in with Oscar in the service department. He entered me in the system a After arriving on time for a scheduled oil change and tire rotation, I checked in with Oscar in the service department. He entered me in the system and I headed to the waiting room. One hour and 15 minutes later, I notice my car has yet to be moved from just outside the drive-in service bay. After approaching Oscar and asking why my car had not been worked on yet. He made a call then proceeded to question me about the car actually being my vehicle. I walked outside (alone) and checked, it was my car! Upon further questioning, Oscar became argumentative and told me it would be at least another hour before my car was ready. At this point I asked for my car and walked outside. Suddenly a service manager appeared and he took my car back that instant. It was done within 15 minutes. No car wash though. Apparently the dealership only does hand washes. ?? Never been a problem at other dealerships. Later that afternoon I called Jo Bailey, the Customer Experience Manager, and explained my grievances. It's been 48 hours and still no resolution. I will never go to this dealership again. More

2008 Tahoe 5.3 V8 Check Engine missing TSB#PTP4568Q 1.0 star rating 1/28/16 The worst service department in the world!! My 2008 Tahoe has a lifter that has gone out related to TSB#PTP4568Q. The serv 1.0 star rating 1/28/16 The worst service department in the world!! My 2008 Tahoe has a lifter that has gone out related to TSB#PTP4568Q. The service department had the Tahoe for 5 hours to fix a basic flat and check the codes for the check engine light. Couldn't even check it in the back after 5 hours!! Had to check it on the service drive and told me that the codes showed 300 intermittent misfire and that I would have to bring it back to look at it in more detail. After several calls with Services Advisor, Anita, terrible follow up skills, BTW, she said that after a day in a half of figuring a quote that it would be $4800.00 to fix and GM would only pay 30% of the amount based on some ripoff by using a GM calculator. I asked her for a simple e-mail detailing the work that needed to be done and a day later no e-mailed quote. You would think if they wanted my business they would send a quote as easy as that!! Never taking my car to ElDorado Chevrolet Services again!! Lastly, GM has lost another loyal customer by not standing behind their engines. Known problem all over the Internet people are complaining. I have taken my Tahoe to ElDorado for Oil Changes, done all necessary maintenance and the engine only has $84,000 miles. I won't buy a GM vehicle again after this! More

The worst customer service and non informative person. Was told my car would be done in 3 hours called back after 3 hours and Pete rudely told me that my car wouldn't even be ready until next week. That i Was told my car would be done in 3 hours called back after 3 hours and Pete rudely told me that my car wouldn't even be ready until next week. That it was on Friday and wasn't even sure when they would look at it. If he had told me that when I took it I would have taken it somewhere else. I picked up my car and he didn't even apologized or anything. Will tell all my friends about the rude attitude Pete has and to never go there again. I guess El Dorado Chevrolet doesn't care about their customers or for business if they have idiots like Pete working there!! More
