I had a terrible experience here at Lupient Chevrolet. Avoid avoid avoid! I needed a new key fob for my Cruze. I was able to order one through OnStar and get it from Lupient Chevrolet. I ordered it Sunday Avoid avoid avoid! I needed a new key fob for my Cruze. I was able to order one through OnStar and get it from Lupient Chevrolet. I ordered it Sunday evening and I received an email early on Monday morning from Rick Stewart, the parts manager in the Lupient Chevrolet parts department telling me that my order was ready. I then called Mr. Stewart and asked about getting the key fob programmed to my car. He told me that it could be programmed when I picked it up with a charge, which I expected. He said that I could stop by anytime and told me that I wouldn't need an appointment. I went to pick up the key fob and have it programmed the same day, yesterday afternoon. I pulled into the service center. I met Dana in Service. I told him that I was there to pick up a key fob and have it programmed to my car. He told me that I could go get the key fob from the parts department. I got it and brought it to Dana. He acted annoyed, like I was inconveniencing him. He said he'd try to find someone to program it... guilt tripping me. He said it would be about a half hour wait. I was going to go wait in the lounge before he asked if I'd ever been there before. No. So he'd have to put me in their system and he took my driver's license before saying it was going to add 15 minutes. Again saying it even more annoyingly. I finally go to the lounge and wait almost an hour before Dana comes to the lounge and tells me that they can't get it done. They've been trying and trying. Apparently Chevrolet's computer system is down everywhere, nationwide. He told me to come back the next day (today). He pointed to the parking lot and told me that my car was there. I went out there and didn't see it. I had to go get him and he came out to the parking to help me look for my car. He couldn't find it either. We finally found it, but not anywhere obvious. Also, the dealership sent me a text shortly after I got to the lounge with a link to keep track of my service. Well that only gave me an error. Worthless. I called before going back today. I wanted to make sure that Chevrolet's computer system was working. No one answered and I was sent to voicemail. I left a message expecting a call back. Then I received a text from Lupient Chevrolet: "This is Lupient Chevrolet. Did you have a question or need something? You can text us at this number." I waited for 40 minutes without a call back. I had replied to the text with no reply back. I called again and no one answered. I decided to just go there. It's about a half an hour drive for me. I got there and Dana acted surprised to see me. I asked if the computers were working today and said that they were. I gave him the key fobs and he begrudgingly told me he'd try to find someone to program the new key fob. The new key fob costs $200 alone by the way. Plus this programming. After another hour in the lounge Dana came to tell me that it was done. While I was waiting I was worrying about what the cost would be. I had called Mauer Chevrolet that is in Inver Grove Heights Minnesota and asked their service department how much they charge for my car and they told me $110. A little more than I expected. I go to the service counter with Dana and he presents me with a bill for $150. I told him that Mauer Chevrolet does it for $110 and I asked if they price match. He said no and asked me who told me that they charge that lower price. $40 lower. I said "they did. I just called them." He told me that they must have lower hourly rates for service and Lupient Chevrolet's hourly charge is $220. They must charge less and he can't help it. That's an excuse pulled out of thin air. Ridiculous. Mauer stated that it's a flat fee. I talked to Dana with this excuse. $40 is a lot of money. That's a big difference. Lupient Chevrolet charges 27% more for labor than Mauer Chevrolet I'm told. I explain that my time is valuable too. Having to wait the day before and go back today with a More
My vehicle was hit on the front passenger side corner by a woman who didn't even try to look before pulling out of a parking lot in November. I was told by Dan several times that the whole front end had shi a woman who didn't even try to look before pulling out of a parking lot in November. I was told by Dan several times that the whole front end had shifted after the collision and my plow mount was ruined. When I was able to take a closer look, there was NO damage to the frame, plow mount, or really anything that wasn't hit by that woman's car. I understand this was a busy time of year, but I'd rather a shop take a long time to tell me the truth than make something up and use being busy as an excuse. It took them until March to deem my vehicle "totaled". I had been on the phone between the insurance company and Dan many many times and he kept telling me they had to do something first and they said he did and when they finally made a decision the insurance company told me I have just a few more days with the rental . I bought a whole other truck after that thinking my other vehicle was undrivable, but once it was finally released to me I took it to the shop I usually go to, I can provide their info if anyone wants it, and they confirmed my observation that there was NO damage to the frame or plow and this vehicle was nowhere near totaled. When I shared this information with Dan he acted as if he was still correct and could not admit a mistake, very arrogant really. I'm honestly worried about how many other people the carelessness of this place ended up costing thousands of dollars. I wouldn't recommend this place to an enemy and anytime a conversation about vehicles longer than 10 seconds comes up I always always always warn people about this place. I wish there was a negative star option and I wish I could leave a negative star review about Dan specifically too. He replied to my review on another platform gaslighting the entire thing trying to save face. Never seen someone so bad at their job in my life. More
Issue: losing tire pressure. Had taken car to repair center was charged $20 labor could not find leak (1 1/2 hours later - submerged tire broke and reset bead checked tpms) however they could not find t center was charged $20 labor could not find leak (1 1/2 hours later - submerged tire broke and reset bead checked tpms) however they could not find the issue. Lupient Chev $173.00 (approx 2 1/2 hours changed tpms). Next morning tire pressure down from 36 to 32 psi. Had to leave town (from AL). Landers Mclarty Chev $68.00 (approx 1hour) repaired hole in tire. Now I can’t say that the tpms was good but it seems that they saw a quick possible solution and didn’t follow thru to ensure the problem was fixed. More
This is the worst dealer I have ever been to. I had my brake pads replace, the recommended I have the rotors also replaced but I refused and asked them to only do the pads . They installed the most expens brake pads replace, the recommended I have the rotors also replaced but I refused and asked them to only do the pads .
