Against my better judgement I attempted to purchase a vehicle from this dealership that I saw online. The online Manager Les was fantastic! Knowledgeable, helpful and honest. The problem came from I be vehicle from this dealership that I saw online. The online Manager Les was fantastic! Knowledgeable, helpful and honest. The problem came from I believe a finance Manager named Frank Bayer. I called Frank several times for 3 days prior to my scheduled arrival date with concerns after a put $250.00 down on the vehicle I intended to buy. Frank never returned any of my phone calls. During that 3 day period I received calls from no less then 5 different people attempting help me find a vehicle after I had already found one ( I received info from a sales associated indicating someone had altered my file in an attempt to receive the commission from my sale). I decided to not do business with Kingdom Chevy as a result of the shady actions I was made aware of. After I didn't show up on my scheduled arrival date I finally received a call from Frank. I expressed my displeasure with his services and he stated he would refund my deposit. I have been attempting to get my deposit back from Frank since Novemeber of 2011. To date I haven't received any returned calls, emails or my $250 bucks! Stay away from this place if you value your hard earned money. More
Called about car posted online. They had photos of the car in their showroom inside and out. The photos were not just stock photos, they took them there. The car in the photo was solid black. They sai car in their showroom inside and out. The photos were not just stock photos, they took them there. The car in the photo was solid black. They said it was in excellent condition and the reason for low price was because it had been on the lot too long. After a2 hr drive there, they showed us a hideous car that was spray painted black and yellow. False advertising to say the least. Don't waste your time with their bait and switch tactics. More

Kingdom Chevy has some of the best prices on used cars around. If the staff wasn’t aware of all their inventory I might not of gotten my car. It was in the back in some cage they have and they said it was around. If the staff wasn’t aware of all their inventory I might not of gotten my car. It was in the back in some cage they have and they said it was just released for the lot but hasn’t been cleaned yet. it was a 2 yr old truck in great shape and I got it at a great deal. They even still cleaned it for and shampooed the carpets without me asking. They really do try to make you a happy customer at Kingdom Chevy. More
Advertised a 2011 Camaro with 432 miles, at a very low price, but I was not allowed to see. Even though I made arrangements and was assured the car was there. After driving for over an hour, I was put i price, but I was not allowed to see. Even though I made arrangements and was assured the car was there. After driving for over an hour, I was put in an office for a long time. When Frank finally came in, he was more interested in discussing financing than selling the car. Even after I told him that I was pre-approved, he continued to push me for information on who I was financing with and what they were offering. I finally asked him if I could just see the car. He proceeded to tell me that the car was just scratched, not bad, on an earlier test drive. I asked him if I could see the car anyway, first he said yes then he said he would go see if I could see it. After waiting some more, Frank introduced me to someone he said was the shop manager. This individual proceeded to tell me that the car was still wet and it would not be ready for viewing until following day, maybe. After driving over an hour and being assured that the car was there, I left never seeing the car and feeling as though I had just been taken for a ride. I do not believe there was ever a car and it was only a gimmick to get people in. I do not recommend this dealer to anyone, nor do I trust them. STAY AWAY!!! Giovanna More

I have had pickup trucks my whole life. I would say I have driven everything under the sun from Ford, Dodge and Chevy to even foreign trucks like the Titan and Tundra. I know a thing or 2 about trucks an have driven everything under the sun from Ford, Dodge and Chevy to even foreign trucks like the Titan and Tundra. I know a thing or 2 about trucks and there capabilities. I work in construction so I need a good, strong running truck to get what I need done. I have had the best luck with my Duramax diesel. It will pull anything and get me out of anywhere. I was able to make my most recent purchase at kingdom Chevy. They were able to get me a awesome deal and a great running truck. They were very friendly and have great customer service. Thank You. More
Ive searched and searched for the right Camaro. I just couldn’t find the right color with the right interior, or if I did like the whole package it didn’t have the V8. Something was just always off. I did couldn’t find the right color with the right interior, or if I did like the whole package it didn’t have the V8. Something was just always off. I didn’t want to order it because then my imagination would get away from me and before I knew it I would be getting a car that cost over 80k. I did a general Search within my area and I got on Kingdom Chevy’s site. I saw a camaro that looked like the one I have been dreaming about. I drove down and took it for a drive. I knew I had to have it. We did make a great deal and I got it for about 5k less than all the others I have been looking at in the same category. Kingdom Chevy made my dream come true. More
