Car given back with no oil/gas smell in reservoir We purchased a used 2012 Chevrolet Equinox a year ago. Because we were buying a used car we also purchased an extended warranty just to be safe. I tak We purchased a used 2012 Chevrolet Equinox a year ago. Because we were buying a used car we also purchased an extended warranty just to be safe. I take the vehicle for its normal service maintenance on time and have never really had an issue with it until now. I brought it in to my certified mechanic on a Friday for its normal oil change where I was informed that they found what appeared to be water or coolant mixed in the oil. I contacted my warranty company right there and was instructed to take it to Lander's Mclarty Chevrolet for diagnostics. I arrived at the Chevy dealership and explained what was going on. I was informed that I would have to have someone pick me up because a loaner vehicle could not be supplied until the diagnostics were completed and it was proven that there was an issue covered by my warranty and they would not be able to do the diagnostics until Monday. The dealership called me on Tuesday to tell me that I could pick up my rental and they were done with diagnostics but they were waiting for the warranty company to send out their own tech to look at the car and it would be a few days. Not even 2 hours after I picked up the rental they called again to tell me that the warranty companies tech came and looked at the car. I was then told that the next step would be to do a tear down of the motor but if they did not find anything wrong with the car I would be responsible for paying $4000 for the tear down. I explained that I did not have that much money to pay and I would have to discuss it with my husband. I was then told to pick up my car. I went back to the dealership to pick up the car and noticed the check engine light was still on. I asked the dealership if they had changed the oil and was told that they did not do anything with the oil which I found strange since water in the oil was the whole reason I took it in. I took the car back to my certified mechanic as soon as I left the dealership to get the oil changed. My mechanic informed me that the dipstick was not registering any oil at all and it smelled like gas. We gave the car time to cool off and checked again and still no oil on the dipstick. The mechanic had to add almost 3 quarts of oil to my car. When I got home I checked the oil again and this time the level was exactly where it was when I left my mechanic. I contacted the dealership and informed them of what had happened but was told that my car was only a half a quart low when I picked it up and that I had not given the car the proper time to cool off before checking it and the gas smell was normal. I was also informed that my model has a well-known issue with water or coolant getting into the oil because of the fuel pump and pistons that were used are not the correct fit for my motor and even though the manufacturer knows about it they are not taking responsibility for it. For the next couple of days I kept a very close check on the oil and would check it when it was hot and when it had cooled down and still there was no change in the level so I find it hard to believe the car was only half a quart low when I left the dealership yet there was absolutely nothing on the dipstick. I find it ridiculous that the Chevy dealer made a mistake and did not own up to it or attempt to remedy it and could possibly have damaged my engine because of it. I also find it ridiculous that Chevy/GM know there is a major issue like this with these motors but are doing nothing to fix it and leaving it to their customer's to deal with. This was by far the worst treatment I have ever had with a dealership/manufacturer and their service department. More

Shady business practices Had a vehicle repaired here and the work was shotty to say the least. Had a printed quote and when I came in for the car they had charged me DOUBLE wh Had a vehicle repaired here and the work was shotty to say the least. Had a printed quote and when I came in for the car they had charged me DOUBLE what they had said. Ended up doing the rest of my catalytic converter work myself because of the discrepancy. With the exhaust backed up engine had trouble breathing and They left my pcv valve off which caused the vacuum seal to be Broken and run even worse until I found the issue. On their "safety check" they put a bunch of emergency needs that would cause serious engine damage... I literally had replaced less the items listed less than 500 miles before! When I told service manager that he told me and i quote. "The owners make us put that on every car that they dont have a vehicle history on..... Absolutely taking advantage of the average uneducated car owner. Stay away! More
Service Department Disreputable / Tire Rotation / Alignment I am an active duty Army officer from Huntsville National Arsenal. This dealer is disreputable and attempted to lie to me after incorrectly servicing I am an active duty Army officer from Huntsville National Arsenal. This dealer is disreputable and attempted to lie to me after incorrectly servicing my vehicle and introducing problems that didn't exist prior. have a brand new 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 4x4. After brining my vehicle in for its second oil change..and specifically telling the service department that I had marked the tires with different colored paint pens, the tire were not appropriately rotated and the vehicle pulled HEAVILY to the right. I drove back immediately after discovering the problem to see that my tires were not appropriately rotated either. I asked the service foreman in the presence of three other employees what was the correct way to rotate tires on my vehicle (a 4x4 vehicle). He stated that the X pattern was the approved way. After I told him that I had proof that this had not been done on my vehicle he then spent five minutes trying to convince me that it was not actually the X pattern tire rotation that I needed and it was somehow normal ("I see this in brand new vehicles that we sell here off the lot" in reference to my new vehicle with new tires pulling heavily to the right---only after I had the service done. The vehicle had perfect alignment and no issues prior to this second routine and free tire rotation and oil change. No oil change sticker was provided either, making me question if the oil was actually changed or not. This is clearly a disreputable dealer who attempted to lie and cheat a brand new customer...even after having been specifically warned that I had marked the tires to prevent this. I would not recommend ever coming to this dealer. More
