As Georgia’s #1 Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet Dealer, it is embarrassing when things like that happen. It is rare but sometimes there is a lapse internally in communicating when a particular vehicle is sold as someone else is coming in to look at it. Our policy is, if someone is on the way, for the sales representative to obtain the key and vehicle and put it in our hold area until the customer arrives. This did not happen in this case. We apologize that our lack of organization in this case caused you such inconvenience. And that you were not able to purchase your desired vehicle from us. We fully understand your disappointment and again, we’re sorry it happened.

We are very sorry for the confusion on our part. We have a very sophisticated computer operating system that lets us put notes in as to the disposition of vehicles. But it’s only as good as those who put the notes in. Or don’t. Unfortunately, and frustratingly, this happens on rare occasions. We would have been happy to try to find another one for you but at this time of the year, 2016 Z06’s are in short supply and the huge rebates are dealer specific and may not have been available on a suitable Z06 if we were able to find one. You are correct, this should have been communicated to you and we’re sorry that it got sold out from under you and we didn’t do what we normally do and communicate the situation.

Our records indicate that we did indeed, after admitting an error or admission on our part, perform a free balance on the tires on March 4, 2016 when the truck had 25,106 miles, that was approved by our Director of Service Operations, Mark Christian. After 15,000 miles and four and one half months, the truck returned to the shop with a vibration (40,645 miles, August 19, 2016). Our diagnosis and remedy was to replace the front two tires. We indicated that, at this point, balancing the tires would not help. In terms of the assertion that Jim Ellis created the conditions for which the tires were cupping, we disagree with that assertion. We probably could have at least partly avoided this uncomfortable situation by letting it be known that needing new tires – or being close to needing new tires - at 40,000 miles is not uncommon.

At this point, you're only trying to cover your butt and come up with any excuse. The truck was not in March 4, 2016 (incorrect). As such, the vibration was reported to your service department after I picked the truck up. I didn't want to bring the truck back into the service department because of the experience I had with your service department, not rotating and balancing the tires the first time. As a result of not wanting to bring the truck back to your service department to correct the unbalanced tires, I took the truck to another Chevy dealership 20 miles away from my home to have them diagnose the vibration ( I have records of the truck going in for the vibration after Jim Ellis serviced it). They told me, the truck appeared to never have a balance done. They wanted to charge me for the balance because they didn't do the work originally. I told them, I'd take it up with the Jim Ellis service department. Prior to me leaving the dealership, I called the Jim Ellis service department to bring the truck back in to have them look at the front-end vibration. I was told " We have nothing available at this time". Our schedules never worked out until August. I was traveling for work a lot. The bottom line is......if Jim Ellis would have explained the issue professionally and met me half way instead of doing NOTHING. I would have understood, but instead they want to argue over $49. It's not the money, but the principle now. It's about doing the right thing because the service department clearly made multiple errors. I'm taking the truck to another dealership to have the vibration diagnosed. If it's determined the truck needs (4) four new tires and a balance, I will approve the work. As I stated earlier, it's not about the money! I own an Engineering firm with a large fleet of trucks. I will no longer buy or service these trucks at this dealership. It's very sad that it's all over $49.

Jim Ellis Chevrolet responded

We stand by our assertion that the tires had leaks, punctures or not, and the reason why you bought new tires elsewhere. Tires are not covered for “wear and tear” or road hazards (unless you purchase a policy) but for material defects. Your tires did not represent the defects that GM would cover under warranty. They make the rules on that. As you know, the dealership that you purchased the vehicle from, General Motors when you called them, and Jim Ellis have all been consistent on this. We’re not sure why the dealership where you bought the car from didn’t thoroughly go over the warranty – what’s covered and what is not – so that you would know. At Jim Ellis – especially when it comes to tires given the hefty expense – we do our best to make sure our customers understand the warranties on the cars.

Jim Ellis Chevrolet responded

As with all customers, we did our best to secure the best interest rate we could. When you left after signing all of the documents, we thought you were happy. In terms of the car, it was sold “as is” and we thought the condition of the vehicle was acceptable, as you took delivery of the vehicle. According to our records, we fixed everything we agreed to fix. Yes, we could have made the car perfect, but would have had to charge more for it. That is the trade-off for purchasing “as is” vehicles. Sure, great price and value but admittedly, not perfect – but safe, and it’s the customer’s choice to pay for the additional items to make the vehicle perfect or close to it. We apologize for not noticing that you were not entirely satisfied when you took delivery of the vehicle. We have are currently ranked #1 in pre-owned vehicle sales in Georgia and rarely encounter this level of dissatisfaction. We will reach out to see what we can do.

In response to the Dealers comments. I emailed everyone connected to this deal with no response to that specific email. My car has now been in a shop to replace the radio because it stopped working along with the usb connection. Waiting on radio for week and a half. Front end alignment had to be done. Cabin filter had to be replaced because it was a smokers car. Oh and had to replace the key fob because it stopped working($250). So I have not even made the first payment and already had to pay over $400 in repairs that Jim Ellis said was a road ready car. Oh and still not driving car because waiting on new radio. Wow. Way to go Jim Ellis Used Car Sales.
