had an appointment in the morning. When arrived, I was told that truck was sold. It can happen, sure! But, I asked why wasn't I informed about it, so that I would not have made the trip to the dealership told that truck was sold. It can happen, sure! But, I asked why wasn't I informed about it, so that I would not have made the trip to the dealership. well, surely that question was not welcomed. The salesperson asked: what do you want? I said well, I just said, but an apology would go a long way, and he responded, hold tight, "I am not going to apologize for selling a truck" Extremely rude and inappropriate. More
They are not up front with their service pricing. My wife dropped off our Jeep to have them look at our rear hatch that was displaying it wasn’t latched when it actually was - and was setting off the car ala dropped off our Jeep to have them look at our rear hatch that was displaying it wasn’t latched when it actually was - and was setting off the car alarm. While it was there she asked them if they could look at why the fan was making a noise, and let them know our key fob battery had been dying quickly lately. While we know there is ‘diagnostic fee’ they never told her there was one, how much it was, or that they would charge $120 for each thing they looked at. They called her back and told her that we needed a new key, a new fan, and a new latch. And that it would cost $250, $480, and $275 respectively. We didn’t do the key because it didn’t make sense that we needed a new key, didn’t want to spend $480 on a fan right before we put it into long term storage for two years before we PCSed to Japan, and decided to fix the latch. I went and picked up the car and the total came to $380. I looked at the bill and they charged a separate diagnostic fee of $120 to look at the fan that would of decreased the replacement cost of the fan by the diagnostic fee. Couple things here 1) if they told us it was going to cost $120 diagnostic for each discrepancy we would of never had them look at it and 2) if we would of known we already dropped $120 to look at the fan, we may have actually fixed it. Lastly I looked at the key fob description and it didn’t say we ‘needed a new key fob’, it said to troubleshoot we need to start with ordering a new key fob. They never asked us if we had a second one or told us that in order to troubleshoot they needed a different key fob - just that we ‘needed’ one. I talked to them in service about how they weren’t upfront with their service prices and that if they had we would of made different decisions and then called them after talking to my wife to see if she was told about the fees, that the fan cost included a fee we were paying already, and if they said we ‘needed’ a new key fob or if that was a troubleshooting step. She wasn’t notified of any of that and was told she needed a new key. They’re response to me was ‘sorry you feel that way but those are our policies’. That’s fine those are policies but tell your customers before the fact. Not after the fact. More
Useless 30-day warranty I bought a used truck that started off as a fair deal. Toward the end of the 30-day warranty the brake lines failed, bled out at the bottom of my dri I bought a used truck that started off as a fair deal. Toward the end of the 30-day warranty the brake lines failed, bled out at the bottom of my driveway. I barely made it to Midas down the street where I have taken my cars for many years. Anyway, the deal is that if you bring it to Newport Chrysler they will repair whatever and you pay for half. I didn't think my truck was going to make it over to Newport. I guess I was supposed to somehow know they have a tow truck to bring it to them. Wouldn't even consider giving me just some of the money to pay the bill. Very unhappy. More
Very disappointed and I wish I had read reviews prior to stopping here. I bought a Jeep a couple months back and had a few issues that could’ve been overlooked but now I’m angry. First, after deciding I kne stopping here. I bought a Jeep a couple months back and had a few issues that could’ve been overlooked but now I’m angry. First, after deciding I knew I wanted the vehicle, I asked if they would be fixing the scratch and a few scuffs. They told me yes absolutely, it’s going to the shop tomorrow! Then I asked for a final price I’d be looking at. They told me a number that I agreed to. The next day, I go with my bank check and a different guy tells me a number $2000 higher than the previous guy. I had my mom with me the day prior too, so she heard our whole conversation about how I had a number in my head that I didn’t want to go above and he told me a number I could work with. Which was inaccurate. Whatever. Still purchased the vehicle...at night. I realize the next day that they never had fixed the marks. Again, whatever. Then a week later I get a call from my insurance company saying the dealership had registered my car under some random guy. Beautiful. Then, my check engine light comes on!!! I get it to the dealership a day prior to my warranty ending and what do they do? They shut the light off and tell me if it comes back on they’d fix it...... why on earth wouldn’t it come on again if you never fixed the problem? So as anyone with a brain would expect, the light comes back on, I contact them asking to order the faulty part. I get a “no problem I’ll check when I get in”. And never any call back. The people were “nice” but how is this how you run a business? And to add, I paid full price for the vehicle because “we don’t negotiate used vehicles anymore”, which was obviously a lie considering other people had an easier experience than I did. Thanks a lot!! More
Very unprofessional dealership We were looking for a leftover Wrangler with certain options, and Newport CDJR had exactly what we were looking for in stock. We arrive at the dealers We were looking for a leftover Wrangler with certain options, and Newport CDJR had exactly what we were looking for in stock. We arrive at the dealership to take a look at the Jeep and take a test drive. Up to this point it seemed to be a typical dealer experience, and then we went out on the test drive. The Jeep engine seemed to surge when it was in drive and at a stop. You could hear it, and feel it when in the Jeep. We drove back to the dealership to have the Service team look at it, and they rebooted the computer (PCM, ECM, ECU)? We took it back out for a drive and it was fine for a few minutes, and then the surging returned. We went back to the dealership as we didn't have interest in the Jeep in its current condition. Upon returning to the dealership the dealership owner asks if I had ever driven a Wrangler before, as if to say we're the issue not the Jeep. The Jeep ended up needing the ECM flashed to resolve the issue, and we did purchase the Jeep from Newport CDJR as it was a very good price. The overall experience was far less than good, and it would take receiving a free vehicle for us to return there. We will not be returning the Newport CDJR for any reason whether it be for service, parts, sales, etc. We do not recommend this dealer for anything. More
BUYER BEWARE I placed a deposit on a car Saturday with Angela. I spoke with her at 8:42 and she told me the manager would be sending me the contract (I am out of t I placed a deposit on a car Saturday with Angela. I spoke with her at 8:42 and she told me the manager would be sending me the contract (I am out of town). I offered what they asked. "The Manager" got finally got back with me Monday after 5:00PM telling me the car was sold Saturday. Angela told me Saturday the sales manager approved the deal and "pulled the keys". They even sent me a credit app today to fill. I told them I could place it on my credit card, wire the money, e-check, whatever they wanted, but I did not want to loose the car. The "manager" told me after they closed today that the car was really sold Saturday. Really? Then why did they send me an app? Angela told me not to worry at noon due to the deposit. Five hours later the "manager" called me. Do not do business with them unless you enjoyed being lied to and jacked around. I am filing a complaint with the BBB and the Attorney General. These are not good people to do business with. More
Worst dealership around After almost 2 weeks of negotiations on a 2016 ram 2500 mega cab I finally I Drove 4 hrs to pick up a truck from them. Was told truck was in mint cond After almost 2 weeks of negotiations on a 2016 ram 2500 mega cab I finally I Drove 4 hrs to pick up a truck from them. Was told truck was in mint condition by Charly there Salesmen. They did have pictures of the truck but it was filthy. I was told 1 week ago that the truck was in the detail shop getting Ready for pick up. I get there yesterday to find out that the truck is the biggest piece of xxxx that I ever seen. Loaded with rust underneath, a oil leak and the front bumper and hood looked like a it was hit repeatedly with rocks. Chips all over the place that started to rust. When I pointed it out to Charley he blamed his prep department for not fixing it. Not only was there lack of professionalism unacceptable but the owner didn’t even have the decency to offer me any sort of compensation for taking the trip. Instead he told me he could sell that truck 10 times over. This dealership is the worst dealership I ever dealt with. After 9 hrs of driving and spending 200 dollars I came home with nothing.
