BEST DEALERSHIP EVER! We've bought 5 cars for the family from this dealership over the course of 6 years. It was such a smooth transaction and awesome experience. Everyone We've bought 5 cars for the family from this dealership over the course of 6 years. It was such a smooth transaction and awesome experience. Everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable and professional. I'd definitely buy from them again. More
Bait and Switch My father talked online to a Salesman about a Lexus SUV. They told us it was available that day.

He called on his way and of course the salesman did not pick up. When he got to the dealer they brought him in and some other salesman told him the car was already sold. He told them he just spoke with the salesman a couple hours ago online and he said it was available. Then they told him they were doing the paper work and that they "had other cars"...basically they used a good deal to try and lure people into their dealership under false pretenses and try to sell them other cars. Such a joke, The reason why they lose out to carmax....definitely one of the worst experiences as a purchaser I can say I have ever heard. More
took down payment &promised me a car they sold 3 days prior I was searching for chevy corvette z06, with the options I wanted. I'm from virginia and finally found the color and options at Jim Ellis. I was so I was searching for chevy corvette z06, with the options I wanted. I'm from virginia and finally found the color and options at Jim Ellis. I was so happy to see there was a 10,000 rebate as well. I felt I was pretty lucky to find this and talked with an employee who promised it was saved for me, took my credit card for $1,000 hold. That was friday and I was prepared to fly down to Atlanta sunday to purchase and take possession. Saturday they called to say it was not available, was sold 3 days prior. I was upset and asked them to help me find another similar model and a few times they said they would, but never got back to me. If I were you, I would not buy from them whether I was local or out of town. They never assumed any responsibility and never tried to make it right. More
UNPROFESSIONAL AND SCAMS IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT On April 4, 2016 I took my 2014 Chevy Silverado in for service ( tire rotation and balance). That afternoon, the service CSR, Tony, called and told m On April 4, 2016 I took my 2014 Chevy Silverado in for service ( tire rotation and balance). That afternoon, the service CSR, Tony, called and told me my truck was ready for pick up. After I signed the paperwork and got my keys, I walk out to my truck to leave. However, I noticed the tires had not been rotated ( as they should have been), so I called the CSR back out to my truck and said " my tires have not been rotated".....CSR said " I can assure you the work has been done" . I said " really" because I marked the tires and the tires were never taken off the truck to rotate. They immediately noticed the tires had not been rotated. In a panic, they took my truck. I told them to fix the mistake and do the balance also. They did! After the tires were rotated and balanced, I picked the truck back up. I noticed right away the front-end was vibrating when I reached speeds above 68 mph. I wasn't able to take the truck back in, but called the dealership and they told me to bring it back when I'm able. I ended up taking it to another dealership and they told me the balance would have to be done by the original dealership that did the work. As such, I tried to call and make an appointment on several occasions, but the dealers schedule and my schedule didn't work. Finally, on Friday, August 19th I was able to bring the truck back into the service department to have them look at the vibration in the front-end. The CSR, Tony, called me back and said " you need (4) four new tires, total cost $1000" I told him, I only want you to give me the balance because it was NEVER correct from the beginning. Tony told me he spoke to his manager, Mark Frost, and they would not do anything because of the mileage on the vehicle. Again, I explained the reason for the gap in time bringing the vehicle into service. They were rude and would not do anything. I went to pick up my truck after my conversation with Tony. As I got into my truck, I noticed the mileage was exactly the same as when I dropped the truck off. Therefore, they NEVER drove the truck to diagnose the front-end vibration. I immediately called Mark Frost and explained the truck wasn't even driven and how can they diagnose the front-end vibration problem? He said " it's outside of your mileage and we cannot do anything for you" . I told him this was NOT a warranty for mileage issue. It's a lying issue because your service department told me they drove the truck and diagnosed that I need (4) four new tires, but my question again is " how can tell a customer what needs to be done on your vehicle, if you never took the truck for ride? for all you know, the front-end could have major problems. He wouldn't do anything and tried to explain how many years he's been doing this. Bottom line - I'm taking my truck to another dealership to have the front-end looked at. BE WARNED! More
Jim Ellis Service Center way too fishy!! Im a loyal GM customer and in my opinion this is a horrible dealership. I warn everyone to avoid bringing their car here for service. If I could give Im a loyal GM customer and in my opinion this is a horrible dealership. I warn everyone to avoid bringing their car here for service. If I could give a "0" score I would. How do I know policies, because my grandfather was a Manufacturer's Rep from the GM plant in Doraville. He taught me about cars and GM. My car was only taken to Jim Ellis as it happened to be the closest dealership to the Mechanic doing my brakek job who found that there was a gas leak. The car had a cracked fuel pump/suppy which was covered under a Special GM Warranty. They supposed preformed a multi point inspection (standard protocol for any vehicle in any GM service center), diagnostics inspection to verify the problem and make the warranty repair. When the car comes out of the Service center, not only is the oil level dangerously low (less than 2 quarts in the car, I had to add 3 quarts to feel safe to drive the car!)that was not mentioned nor indicated on multi point inspection sheet, but the gas gages where not working properly. Told I would need to bring the car back in to be checked as it was possible the fuel pump that was replaced was faulty. They "examine" the car and determine that it is now the secondary fuel pump that is the issue and quote me at $620+tax to repair. Things just keep getting fishy! Finally they agree on a discount for the repairs. This comes mostly from GM. Go to get the car and they also replaced the primary fuel pump again, it had "fallen apart" while the mechanic was replacing the secondary. (Fishy.) Tried to discuss the oil levels low from when I picked it up Friday night, and basically got the brush off, a "we are sorry" and we will have to investigate. Then I go to leave and find a cigarette butt in my floor board! I do not smoke nor have I ever allowed anyone to smoke in my car! They "apologize" and say they will investigate!?! WTH?? I left beyond angry off (my staying to discuss the matter would not have ended well) and to make it worse my car reaks of cigarettes now! I called the manager and she offered to have my car detailed. Like I would ever let them near my car again! She claimed a Mark C. Will call me to discuss. I had concerns bringing my car here in the first place because of other people I know having not great experiences, but now I know I will NEVER let them touch my car again. Update: Nearly a week has gone by, still no call from Mark C. More

Horrible Customer Service I took my 2016 Camaro SS in for repeated low tire pressure light, only 2,100 miles. I was advised by my service advisor John Anderson that I had a pic I took my 2016 Camaro SS in for repeated low tire pressure light, only 2,100 miles. I was advised by my service advisor John Anderson that I had a picture in my tire and it needed to be replaced. I advised I needed my car sooner than the 3 days it would take to get the tires in so I went to. Goodyear store and purchased the same Tires. I was advised and it was written on my receipt that there was no puncture found after investigation. I was tricked by dealership. Besides Chevrolet's warranty states that the tires are covered under the bumper to bumper warranty but my inquiry was not, training issue at dealership... I was given the run around and showed the dealership the warranty information. I was advised because the service advisor did not write up the work order correctly I would loose out on my $1,100.00 tire replacement. Then to add insult to injury I answered a survey that I received from General Motors and gave the dealership a failing score. I was contacted by the dealership and advised that I could no longer receive loaner cars for work on my 2016 camaro SS. More
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!! I presented to the service department on April 19th for an issue with my 2014 Chevy Malibu. I explained to the technician that I had received a diagno I presented to the service department on April 19th for an issue with my 2014 Chevy Malibu. I explained to the technician that I had received a diagnostic reading from my local auto parts store and gave him the codes that I received. I was informed that I had to pay for a dealer diagnostic test which determined that the "computer system" needed to be reset and that would fix my issue. My total at that point was $206. So I proceeded to allow the service department to fix my car. After driving my car for about a week out of the shop, I noticed that the car began to give me the same issues so I called the service department to notify them of my findings. I spoke to a representative and he informed me to bring my car back in and that they would take another look at it. I was notified by someone from the company that the original problem that they discovered was not the issue (resetting the car) however, something else needed to be fixed and that it would be done at no cost to me. That issue ended up being one of the codes that the auto part store had originally read. The issue reoccurred shortly after receipt of my car from the service department and I was forced to contact them for the THIRD time stating my grievance. Once again, I was instructed to bring my car in and this time it was another issue that required an additional $250(this was the second code that was read from the auto parts store) I was livid because at this point I was asked to pay even more money to fix yet another perceived problem and was humiliated by the representative that I spoke with when he stated that they couldn't do the work for free as if I was looking for a free service. I'm a hardworking, paying customer that trusted my car to its original dealer only to discover that they couldn't fix it or didn't really know what the issue was. Reluctantly, I trusted them once again and allowed them to attempt to fix my car. After a review of the service bill, I noticed that the credit that was supposed to be placed on my account for the original payment was not posted as promised by the service manager and that I was owed a refund. I called and left several unreturned messages. This brings me to present day, after driving my car for yet another week, the problem returned and this time I reached out to the GM of Jim Ellis service department, who spoke to me in such an offensive tone as if I was pestering the company when all I wanted was for my car to be fixed. I asked to speak to someone above him as he spoke with a nonchalant and unconcerned tone, he arrogantly chuckled and stated that he was over all managers of each service site. Here I am a month and 3 service visits later with the same issues with my car, I'm very disappointed as this company does not live up to its reputation for their superb work ethic and expectation customer service. These people lack integrity and could care less about meeting the customer’s needs, we are just numbers to them. More

Deceptions of a Used Car. Visited the Used car lot on Peachtree in Doraville. I had been looking for a good deal on a used Chrysler 200. They had on on the Internet. Went to lo Visited the Used car lot on Peachtree in Doraville. I had been looking for a good deal on a used Chrysler 200. They had on on the Internet. Went to look at it late at night. Don't ever look at a used car at Night. It looked good from what i could see. A lot of damage from a previous wreck that was not reported. The rims were very bad, but they fixed. Tires bad, need alignment, No key fob, Damage to door where they had to break in, All this stuff not seen at night. Tried to call back next day. No answer from Sam the Finance guy. Seymour did answer and said see what he can do. Lip service. The loan jacked up to "buy down the Interest". The dealer is all about "GET MONEY" and screw the buyer. I was a bad loan that will most likely be defaulted. The only way to never get taken by this dealer is to NEVER VISIT or PAY CASH. ALL CALLS NEVER RETURNED AFTER THE DEAL WAS INKED. I will cancel all the extra contracts that was sold to "HELP ME" get the interest down. At least this will help on the back side of the loan. More
