"Great service advisor that loves his career" My first time coming to Jim Ellis was in March, I was not sure what to expect, I have three words to say about Danon Henton. He was excellent, excell My first time coming to Jim Ellis was in March, I was not sure what to expect, I have three words to say about Danon Henton. He was excellent, excellent and excellent. He went above and beyond my expectations! Because of him you can expect me to return and refer others, even if it is just for an oil change, I use to go somewhere else, because of not anymore. Danon was very professional, showed empathy about my previous service experience elsewhere. He listened to my concerns and addressed them all and also followed up with me twice after my service visit to make sure everything was ok.. I wish I could have done GM survey that he talked to me about but I never received one. I hope the public can see this post and for anyone whom owns a GM vehicle , see Danon Henton!!!

Poor overpriced service, car still broken, no call back The technician commented that the faulty exhaust sensor item had been "glued on" by a previous technician. However, the last place the car was worked The technician commented that the faulty exhaust sensor item had been "glued on" by a previous technician. However, the last place the car was worked on was Jim Ellis Chevrolet. The car has 61k miles and has only had two service visits other than regular oil changes. This repair resulted in a much larger bill than expected. While that can be disputed, when I got home last night the car is rattling while in idle. This should have been caught by Jim Ellis Chevrolet before releasing the vehicle to me yesterday. I called today and spoke to Nicole at the service desk. She promised they would help find an appointment to have it looked at, and would call me back in 15 minutes. Six hours later, no call back. I'm hoping there is a different authorized Saturn service provider that I can use. Stay away from these people. More
After the Sale, Still knocking it out of the Park I just bought a Suburban last December and brought it in for its first free maintenance. I didn't know you all stopped doing oil changes at three on I just bought a Suburban last December and brought it in for its first free maintenance. I didn't know you all stopped doing oil changes at three on Sunday's. I got there at 3:15 with my wife and you all took the vehicle with a smile, did the oil change and tire rotation in about 30 minutes, maybe less. On the face of it, its great customer service, but what you don't know [because i didn't have to explain it to anyone] I was on my way out of town heading to California for a week business trip. I didn't want the bride to have to deal with the maintenance on the Suburban while i was gone which is why we came Sunday. So, bottom line, you guys took some stress off my family and didn't even know it. Further, we have 9 kids, so its critical that the Suburban be available and operational. Way to go Jim Ellis Chevrolet. You have customer for life. More
Best service experience I've had in a long time. Brought my 2005 Equinox into Jim Ellis on Thursday March 26th for hatch latch problem (would not open, period) and vibration issue during braking. Da Brought my 2005 Equinox into Jim Ellis on Thursday March 26th for hatch latch problem (would not open, period) and vibration issue during braking. Danon was extremely professional and friendly. When he thought we may have to wait on a part from Charlotte, he began making arrangements for me to have a loaner car to drive over the weekend. As it turned out the part was found locally and the repair was able to be made the next day (on Friday). I asked if it was possible to have the repairs completed by 2pm on Friday to help me with arranging for a ride to the dealership. He said he would take care of it, no problem. Danon called me the next day (on Friday) at 10:30am to let me know the car was all ready for pickup. I was able to pick up my car around noon, and not only were the repairs completed but my car was washed and looked great (better than when I brought it in). The hatch opened perfectly. Then the true test - would the shaking/vibration braking be truly fixed? After things I had read on the internet, I had my doubts. It was totally fixed. The car drives as good as it did brand new - braking, steering, acceleration - everything works perfectly. Thank you to Jim Ellis and special thanks to my service consultant, Danon Henton. He did a great job. More

Wasn't an i My Experience: Had faulty rear ride control/suspension compressor,leaking air bladder(s) and shocks on my 2005 GMC Yukon Denali replaced. Wasn't an inexpensive service visit -- over $2300. That said, Jim Ellis service department is huge and they are extremely efficient. I had my truck back the same day. My service writer, Rick G. was great. He kept my informed and worked with me to make sure the needed repairs stayed within my maximum limit (hey, it was just a couple of days after Christmas). Thankfully, I have only had to take it Jim Ellis 5 or 6 times in the 8+years that I have owned my GMC -- but they always treat you as if you were frequent visitor. Jim Ellis Service shines as an example of "..your get what you pay for.." More

The vehicle is consuming oil due to AFM system. This is a know and fully documented issue with this model truck. The problem started at ~40K miles. Step-one service was authorized and performed. The service know and fully documented issue with this model truck. The problem started at ~40K miles. Step-one service was authorized and performed. The service adviser explained the ongoing oil consumption measurement procedure which I followed for the next 25K miles. Now at 65K miles oil consumption is as bad as initially seen. Yesterday, this same service adviser now says I had not followed the procedure and I probably didn't matter anyway since the vehicle is out of warranty. He mentioned that the although the problem occurred well within the warranty, GM would probably not cover any more repairs no matter how bad the problem got. From his mixed words and overall attitude he was basically indicating he would not go out of his way to help me resolve this issue. Throughout the last 2 years he lead me to believe I would be taken care of he would help make me whole. Now he has decided to get rid of me and my issue. He has definitely done that effectively. When you spend over $40,000 on a vehicle, you'd expect more than 40K miles without major oil consumption issues. It is also reasonable to expect that the dealership I purchased the vehicle from should help me resolve this issue with the factory. I hope to never have to deal with Jim Ellis again. Chances are, I will never purchase a GM product again. More
My brand new truck had a rattle that was in the shop 9 times to be fixed. The mechanis folded napkins up and shoved in the dash to try to resolve the problem. Instead of replacing parts they just kept try times to be fixed. The mechanis folded napkins up and shoved in the dash to try to resolve the problem.

Mr ellis the owner doesn't care at all about his customers!!! More
