Beware of Overcharging I’ve been servicing my 2010 Buick Enclave with you for over 5 years. My extended warranty recently expired. I recently took the car in to diagnose a I’ve been servicing my 2010 Buick Enclave with you for over 5 years. My extended warranty recently expired. I recently took the car in to diagnose and repair whatever was causing the check engine light to illuminate. My service representative called the next day informing me that I’d somehow damaged the exhaust system causing a leak and destroying both 02 sensors. He explained that to do this kind of damage would have required that I had hit something hard underneath the car. He also explained that the only way to repair it was to replace a significant part of the exhaust assembly. In addition to this, he told me I had a right front boot leaking and recommended I replaced the entire front axle. The total quote for the repair was $2,600. Something didn’t feel right about the exhaust issue and asked for a second opinion from a 3rd party service company with whom I’ve had several good experiences. They agreed that what Buick was telling me sounded suspicious. I called my Service Manager at Buick and asked him to put my car on the lift and show me the damaged exhaust. I was in Ewing Buick's service garage when they put my car on the lift, and was surprised by what I didn’t see. No visible damage to the exhaust at all. The Service Tech then told me a different story than the Service Manager explaining the issue was due to a barely visible rupture at a weld point. He then explained that he found the rupture using a soap & water test, and this rupture caused both of my 02 sensors to be destroyed. I couldn’t see the rupture, and I have a close up photo of the area he was referring to. I asked the service technician and his colleague if this rupture could be repaired via weld vs. replacing the assembly, but they firmly recommended replacing the entire unit. I sensed that Buick was taking me for a ride so I asked for my keys, explaining politely that I was going to take my vehicle to a 3rd party for the repairs. Buick charged me $125 for the diagnosis. After performing a number of tests including smoke and soap, the 3rd party service company did not find any leak and only 1 02 sensor needed to be replaced vs the 2 Buick quoted. The 2nd 02 sensor was fine. Regarding the leak, I even shared with them the picture I took of the weld where your folks were claiming the leak was so they’d have a place to focus, but there was no leak there. For my leaky right front boot, they replaced the axle with an aftermarket one. My total bill was $784.56 vs. the $2,600 Ewing Buick quoted me. I’ve been a great customer for years, paying for nearly every recommended add-on service that was recommended to me by Ewing Buick. But given all the evidence, it is hard for me to believe that their Service department didn’t mislead me and wasn’t trying to gouge. It sure does leave a bad taste in my mouth. And paying $125 for the bogus diagnosis that Buick said would cost me 3x more in repairs than it actually ended up costing somewhere else doesn’t make me feel any better. I’ve spent an awful lot of money with Ewing over the 5 years I've owned my Enclave, but it’s hard for me to see how I'd sign up to do it again. More
Warning - Don't Buy a GMC or Buick product The Ewing Dealership is in a tough position because the quality of both the GMC and Buick products we have owned are so poor. However, we unfortunatel The Ewing Dealership is in a tough position because the quality of both the GMC and Buick products we have owned are so poor. However, we unfortunately bought both an Acadia and Enclave at the same time in 2009. Had we known the number of design defects inherent with these cars we would never had purchased either of these automobiles. The Enclave was picked up today with a bill of $1,400 for replacing motor and transmission mounts again for the third time and axle problems. On a car, which in the last five years has been driven to the grocery store, mall, school and soccer practice. The driver would be described as ultra conservative. But on three different occasions motor mounts have been replaced on this vehicle. The last time was about 90 days ago when the front motor mount was replaced and now the rear and transmission mounts need to be repaired. It is already apparent the motor and transmission mounts are of a defective design. Especially based on the number of mounts replaced on both cars. But, there should be a level of competency by the dealer to recognize the problems when they replaced the front ones 90 days ago. There should be a level of competency by GM to replace the mounts with a product of better design when the original part is clearly a defective design. We currently today have vehicles with over 200,000 miles (Toyota) and my Ford SUV which I've owned for nearly 4 years with over 115,000 miles and none of these have had a motor mount replaced. In regards to the defective axle bushings caused by the lack of lubricant. This is very unusual since these parts are typically designed in most cars to perform well beyond our mileage. Both of our GMC and Buick cars have been serviced at this dealer, but it is clear in this case the parts failed or the dealer failed to perform a proper inspections along the way to discover the issue before it became a more expensive proposition for us. The experience with the windshield leak on the Acadia was the last straw. Clearly a factory defect, requiring the replacement of a corroded fuse box on the car which initially we were expected to pay for by the dealer. After the leak was fixed, it ended up leaking again at the same spot at the windshield. When my son drove the car home from college the first time to have it fixed the part was still not at the dealer. GM finally came through on the repair, but only after way too much haggling for a complete design defect chronicled all to well on the internet. With the consistent repetitive failures in all these cars it would seem at some point you would take a more proactive approach to the service of these vehicles. But that would require admission of responsibility for poor product design and execution all through the process. It is clear the CEO, Board of Directors and Senior Management have very little concern for customers who are on there 4th and 5th GM owned vehicles. Which is why we bought the Ford Expediton and did not purchase another GM vehicle. By the way, my Ford Expedition is not a high design product but it performs. It performs as it was designed and hasn't cost this consumer any unexpected problems. At this point how could we recommend your product when all we get is excuses for flaws, because it was inherent in the design of a luxury product. Bottom line, you don't know luxury. Please feel free to call. Cordially, Chris Matzke More

When he couldn't duplicate our Acadia's intermittent remote start issue at his shop, he helped me troubleshoot it over the phone. Turns out it was due to low fuel (disables remote start), which looked even lower with the car sitting on an incline. Brad's and Ewing's overall level of support is what I'd expect from the Mercedes-Benz dealer next door to them. But we didn't have to buy an $80K GL-450 SUV to get it! More
