Any will give you up front pricing and better service then here. I've gone here twice. Tried to make a deal on a new 2014, no progress. $21,600 is not reasonable for a nearly two year old car when I just bought a new 2015 Jeep for thousands less. This was for a Jeep Patriot. Contacted them the next day with specifics for what I wanted on a 2015, I was told to go online, look at inventory, and pick one, but remember there is no negotiations on Internet pricing. There are two dealer fees that's one for the deal and one for financing. The dealer fee is over $1,000 ($800 dealer, $50, and $200 doc fee). They give you the run around go somewhere else. More

Worst Customer Service Ever! Don't EVER go to this dealership. The customer service experience we had was terrible. No handshakes no information about prices no hellos or goodbyes Don't EVER go to this dealership. The customer service experience we had was terrible. No handshakes no information about prices no hellos or goodbyes. Told us he could get us the bottom price, the bottom price was way over what we wanted to pay. We asked for negotiation, but apparently he didn't have time to negotiate. Such a waste of a Sunday evening! More

Run Away From This Place Stopped by there to check out what they had and prices. I was told they could get me in a car with no money down. After picking out a car I wanted, I Stopped by there to check out what they had and prices. I was told they could get me in a car with no money down. After picking out a car I wanted, I signed all the usual paperwork and drove off. 2 weeks later they called me and asked where my $1500 down payment was. I go back to this dealership, and the finance guy wants to argue with me that I knew about the down payment. If this was the case why did they let me drive off without handing them the money for the down payment? Also why was this not in the contract I signed? They proceeded to tell me that I needed to give them the cash or the keys back to the car. I gave them the keys back. This is the most untruthful, untrusting, and con artists that I have ever dealt with. Do not believe a word from these people. Apparently I am not the only one that this has happened to. I have talked to several people, and the same thing has happened to them. More

Showed them prices at other dealerships for same vehicle and they said there ads are a joke. sales manager said this is the lowest price in the state. Well joke is on them.

Liars who sell Unsafe Cars My husband purchased a car from them at the beginning of January. Just two days later the car wouldn't start. We brought the car back to them, and at My husband purchased a car from them at the beginning of January. Just two days later the car wouldn't start. We brought the car back to them, and at first they seemed nice enough and told us we had a 2,000 mile/60 day warranty. Well, then they took over TWO WEEKS to fix it, avoiding my husband's calls the entire time, trying to run down our 60 day window. The only way to get any answers on the car were to call repeatedly, no one ever called my husband back. If he ever did actually manage to talk to his salesperson, it was evasive answers about having to order parts. Finally we were told that they had replaced the entire fuel pump system and that we could pick up the car. We got the car back and within a day the Check Engine Light came on. We took it to our trusted mechanic who ran a diagnostic and the error code came back as a faulty sensor with the fuel pump system, so it was very clearly something LCDJ did wrong when "fixing" our car. Our mechanic also said that the condition of the shocks and struts were deplorable and that it was very unlikely this car actually passed inspection. My husband again called repeatedly to see about bringing the car back, and if he actually could get his salesperson on the phone he was discouraged time and time again from bringing it in because they "don't have any loaner cars available." Again, clearly trying to run down our warranty window. My husband took it upon himself to just bring the car in anyway, and told his salesperson when he would be there. He pulled up and the salesperson looked right at him, then walked away. My husband asked several people if he could talk to the salesperson and after a long time was told to just speak to a service center employee instead. Miraculously a loaner car appeared and they said they'd look at the car. Over a week went by with of course ZERO phone calls and zero returned phone calls. Finally late on Friday my husband got a hold of the salesperson again who actually had the nerve to say he had no idea the car was even in their shop. (1) My husband told him he was bringing the car in. (2) He looked right at my husband when got there. (3) His coworkers told him my husband was waiting to speak to him and he was too cowardly to come out. This man clearly has no problem lying through his teeth. He of course could not provide any sort of information about what was going on with the car, either, and claimed that the one and only person who would know anything had been out all week. They only have one employee in the service center?? Finally yesterday LCDJ basically told us to go screw ourselves, and that they are doing absolutely NOTHING to fix their error that caused the check engine light to come on. My husband asked if he could speak to the service center tech when he came in and he was told he could. When he got there that employee had of course conveniently "left for the day." He looked at the paperwork to see what the error code would be, since we already knew darn well what it was after our local mechanic ran a diagnostic. This piece of information was of course conveniently left off the paperwork. He had to ask and ask to speak to ANYONE, and finally a customer service rep spoke to him. He asked why the error code was missing, and she did some research and finally admitted that the error code did in fact reflect that there was something wrong with the fuel pump system. My husband asked why they weren't fixing it then, and even she agreed with him that they should fix it, but could offer no explanation as to why they weren't. How very convenient for them that the one person who can ever explain ANYTHING apparently is NEVER EVER THERE. These people are the lowest of the low, they are every stereotype of the shady used car salespeople. They do not care that they lied about this car passing inspection, and they do not care that they messed up when installing the fuel pump. They honestly expect us to pay out of pocket to fix their negligence. Avoid this dealership like the plague. More

service department We took our minivan there for some gas mileage issues, they told us it was something that we already had fixed somewhere else. They insisted it must We took our minivan there for some gas mileage issues, they told us it was something that we already had fixed somewhere else. They insisted it must be the wrong part, we checked serial # after they replaced it, and it was the exact same thing. (Firestone was amazing and ATE the costs!!). Then they said they didn't notice the problem anymore when it ran exactly the same as when we originally brought it in. We now go to the Bartow Chrysler and they are amazing. Not only the scamming service department, but we waited on hold and we're hung up on multiple times, and the manager was very condescending to me! Horrible, horrible experiences More

Worst experience ever! I got something in the mail from them about a tent sale. I went up to just take a look at some cars when they sucked me into seeing if I would qualify I got something in the mail from them about a tent sale. I went up to just take a look at some cars when they sucked me into seeing if I would qualify for a loan. After test driving the car they said they found a lender. On their website for a 2013 Chrysler 200 they had the listing price for $10,000 . Come to find out the car is actually $16,000 and then when you ask them they say its all taxes and fees. I made the horrible decision of purchasing a car from them. The even better part is I bought the car Oct 11 and my birthday was the 30th of November so when I went to try to get my tag renewed they said that Lakeland Chrysler was supposed to deal with all that. I called several times and their tag lady was not in the office, when I finally got a hold of her she wants to tell me that my finance company put funds into their account and they were unsure who it was for but now they know who its for. I had bought the car over a month before my birthday and they could not contact me to let me know this was going on. I had to drive for a few days with an expired tag before she sent me a temp tag. I still have the temp tag on my car!!!!!! I called them about this 3 weeks ago! They have had almost 2 months to send me a xxxx sticker for my tag, this is just ridiculous, it should not take 2 months to send someone a sticker! Also when I bought the car the alignment was off and they offered to do nothing about it. This dealership sucks!!!!! Don't waste your time or money buying a car from here unless you like getting ripped off! More

Check BBB for history of complaints before you buy I was in the market for a new car and was attracted by their advertised prices. I did meet with them and discuss a new car purchase, but eventually l I was in the market for a new car and was attracted by their advertised prices. I did meet with them and discuss a new car purchase, but eventually left without buying. Later, in researching the background of the company with online reviews and then checking the BBB for any complaints, I was shocked at the number of complaints they have had. Do your homework before you go there if you insist on buying with them. More

Terrible Service Department Waited 2 1/2 hours for simple oil change and low tire pressure indicator. Finally received van and tire pressure light not fixed and oil change neede Waited 2 1/2 hours for simple oil change and low tire pressure indicator. Finally received van and tire pressure light not fixed and oil change needed light not turned off. Service manager Tim did not seem too interested in the poor service complaints of his department. Blamed too much business as the reason. Will not return to dealership for any reason, not purchase or service. More
