xxxx Poor Service Management. In 2020 our Wrangler had a recall and we were notified that the “parts were in” so we dropped off our vehicle to be repaired. Next thing we know we In 2020 our Wrangler had a recall and we were notified that the “parts were in” so we dropped off our vehicle to be repaired. Next thing we know we get a call telling us that they do not have the parts. 3 Months later we finally received our vehicle back! Fast forward to 2024… In February of 2023 another recall is made on our Wrangler, and when I call in December inquiring about this recall, I’m told they have not received parts yet. While having our vehicle serviced in January of 2024, I ask our Service Coordinator what’s going on with the parts, and I’m told that they have started to trickle in and they have done the service on a few vehicles. I asked that I be next on the list since we are heading north in late February... The next morning, I get a voice message telling me that the parts are in and we can schedule service on our vehicle. When I call to schedule service, I ask to double check that the parts were in. After checking with the Parts Department, I’m told they are in. The day before service I get a reminder call regarding our service, and again, I ask to confirm that they still have the parts. Again, I wait while the Service Scheduler checks with the Parts Department, and the response is “all the part are here”. So, I drive almost an hour to bring our vehicle in for service, I check the vehicle in, and head into the waiting room. After about 15 minutes, I am asked to come outside to my vehicle only to be told that they DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS! After talking to the Service Manager Jason, he tells me that “it’s the Parts Department’s fault”. He goes on to tell me they discovered the issue “late yesterday afternoon” … but no one called to let us know. Janson’s answer: “we have too many services performed in a day to find out who may have been impacted”. Since the recall has to do with a manual transmission, and the fact that there was not a manual transmission Wrangler within a 500-mile radius when we purchased it in late 2018 (and thus we had to order the vehicle) I can’t imagine that anyone else was scheduled to have this same service on that day. The fact is that no one in the Service Department, not the Service Manager, not the Service Coordinator, not the Service Scheduler who supposedly checked to see it parts were there, cared enough to do their job! No one cared enough to properly check for parts. No one cared enough to contact a customer to let them know that they could not perform the service. No one cared enough to even take responsibility for the error! I asked to have the Owner call me to discuss this. Not a single call. No one cares! More

MURICE, the used car sale manager very communicative and helpful does the extra mile after the sale for Veterans or anyone, Keith, the used car Service manager treats my vehicle as his own, and April, the transfer title personnel is very knowledgeable of each states title requirements and handles your title quickly. All personnel at Firkins are Veteran friendly so I recommend to veterans to shop at Firkins: a good shopping experience. The general manager, John Gross will call you if requested, and oversees a great sales experience with his staff!! Thank you, Joe Johnson, disable veteran. More
Brett was the best salesman. He actually stood up for me against the sales manager fighting for the sale. He knew my offer was reasonable and wanted the sale to happen.

He was great throughout the entire process and I will say the dealership in the end did make the deal happen so I was very happy with the overall experience, eventually. More

RUN! "manager" Josh Scutt and GM John Gross. You know why. Make it Right! I purchased a 21 Gladiator in 4/2021. I have received letters about your tra "manager" Josh Scutt and GM John Gross. You know why. Make it Right! I purchased a 21 Gladiator in 4/2021. I have received letters about your trade in promos, and after a multitude of letter, emails and phone calls, decided last week Tuesday 11/22 to inquire, while I was there for service. Met with Chris and pinpointed a 2022 Gladiator I would enter into agreement with. "Manager" Josh Scutt entered into the picture, then we agreed on terms. You were to get the vehicle in between Saturday or this past Monday. I put the deposit down and left. We ran our credit, approves instantly, and Chris would follow up. He followed up Wednesday 11/23, everything looks good, and that was it. No contact Thursday of course, but nothing Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday. Then I reached out to Chris Wednesday, inquiring on this agreed upon vehicle. He informed me that he had asked Josh Scutt "Manager " of the deal to contact me and follow up some time ago, and never did. Chris informed me that Josh would get back to me. That was yesterday. I reached out again to Chris today, asked him for Josh to update. He has not. I asked Chris for your contact information to let you know the poor "management " and customer service you have in your dealership, if you actually care. So, in summary, I asked, we selected a car, we agreed on the terms on the LOCAL Gladiator, we ran our approved credit, a deposit was taken, and NO ONE has contacted me, nor will have the decency to follow up. Even if we just asked for my deposit back and went to Sarasota Jeep, the credit was ran, now have to be run again. As a Finance and Operations professional, that does not look good. Where do we stand and how are you going to make this right? I just wanted to buy a damn car. I have little faith now in your dealership. Still no call from Josh Scutt. Another LIE. GM John Gross, you can have my phone to show you employ a LIAR! More
I called to make sure that a part is in stock, was confirmed and price told. Spent 40 min in traffic (one way) and all of the sudden the price is about 60% higher. When I told him that I called just a confirmed and price told. Spent 40 min in traffic (one way) and all of the sudden the price is about 60% higher. When I told him that I called just an hour before and was told a price, he stuck to the much higher price. This is not the first time I have had this exact same issue with this parts department. I will stay clear of this dealership altogether and not even consider buying a vehicle here again. My trust is gone. More
