Customers like you are a pleasure to work with. And that's not sarcasm! When we can earn the business and the trust of a customer who is attentive and knowledgeable about their vehicle, that means we are doing our jobs right, and living up to our goal of providing all our customers with 5 star service. We welcome others to give us a chance to earn your business as well. Those videos from the service department always get great reviews. Being able to see what the tech is talking about and understand the issues, sent directly to your phone - love new tech! Welcome to the area, L!

Thank you! You had our 5 star sales experience, and the same from our service department with your 30 day check up. We're happy that everything is well and want to remind you that you can bring in your Encore for a car wash, once a week, for as long as you own the vehicle. Lifetime Car Washes were included with your purchase at No Extra Charge!

I requested that the tire pressure be the same in all four tires but was told it could be off by one or two pounds. Never have I had this occur or be told this except at this dealership. The two rear tir More

Hello mcsweeneymary. When it comes to tires and tire pressures, sometimes there can be confusion about how much air you should have in those tires. Rest assured, our Service Techs will put the proper recommended tire pressure in your tires. You can find these numbers on the inside of your car door, or in your owner’s manual. These numbers can be different between the front and the back tires, it depends on the vehicle. Tire pressures can vary as well, depending on the time of day or amount of travel and are usually measured most accurately when the car has been stationary for some time and the tires have cooled off. We hope that helps explain why your tires may not have been filled as you desired, but to what our team was trained to do. Should you wish to adjust the pressures yourself, here’s a handy tip - get a good tire gauge and use that to measure pressure at the start of your day rather than using the gauges at the gas station after traveling for some time. Those gas station and convenience store gauges can be inaccurate, and using your own gauge time after time will be more consistent. Be sure to check the pressures every so often, such as when seasons change, as well, as the different temperatures can affect your current tire pressure. If you have a Tire Pressure Monitoring System, check your owners manual on the proper way to reset it after adjusting tire pressures. If you have any questions, please contact our service department at 518-869-2291.

I stand by my original statement on this situation. I am not a stranger to information about tire pressure. I DO NOT WANT TO DEBATE THIS ANY WHERE. PLEASE STOP.

Excellent! We should all get videos showing us the money we DON'T need to spend! Thank you for the 5 stars, lakerlax. In case a reader doesn't know what we're talking about... our service techs can send a video directly to your phone showing you what they see from under your vehicle, the possible repairs, basic maintenance you should do and why, plus reassuring looks at items that don't need work. Very handy and helpful in understanding how to keep your car running it's best.
