A Refreshing Change of More Than Just the Oil! After a series of bad experiences at Jeep dealerships, today I decided to risk further service dept. disrespect for me and my fortunately trusty Jeep After a series of bad experiences at Jeep dealerships, today I decided to risk further service dept. disrespect for me and my fortunately trusty Jeep in order to give my beloved Jeep a long-needed oil change. And change is really the key word here! I drove to Marysville for the last change year ago to avoid the dealer from whom I had bought the car since that dealer lost the car and couldn't assure me that the oil change had actually been done! Online reviews of that dealer are still bad, so I decided to try Rairdon's Kirkland Jeep because they now have good reviews although three years ago I was very unhappy with the classic hard sell they gave me when I was looking to buy the Jeep. These.dealers change fast so check current online reviews. Today in Kirkland I received respectful, courteous, friendly, and competent service at a fairly reasonable price. I will return , but I will read online reviews first. They change! More
Terrible service advise They recommended we get a new radiator For $1500 on a jeep that was barely out of warranty And they want to clean our fuel injector throttle plat They recommended we get a new radiator For $1500 on a jeep that was barely out of warranty And they want to clean our fuel injector throttle plate which Chrysler which says cannot be done They are absolutely trying to milk us for money knowing our car is just out of warranty. There was no leak in the radiator we had a pressure check to prove it. More

The line mechanics are extremely knowledgeable and take the upmost pride in the worksmanship the do. I have never seen them stumped when it comes to repairing my complex dodge ram 6.7 Lee who is an extremely knowledgeable service writer and Tom a mechanic with over 30 years experience on Chrysler and ram trucks is an outstanding tech. If you want it done corectly these are the people to see. More
Its more than a dealership We helped my mom purchase a brand new jeep at Barton/Lithia Jeep in Spokane just before the holidays.

Shortly after the purchase, my mom had to take her jeep back to the dealership 4 separate times to try and solve a reoccurring problem. Just when we thought we would have to get rid of the jeep, we took a chance and brought it to the service department at Rairdon of Kirkland. Grant C., our service advisor, was simply amazing throughout the entire process. Not only was he able to quickly and accurately diagnose the problem with the jeep, he went above and beyond by providing daily updates, including pictures of the damage they found. Grant’s team performed the repairs quickly and accurately, and their work was impeccable. Grant, and the service manager, Janell, even helped coordinate with Barton/Lithia in Spokane for payment on the repairs. The customer service we received from Grant at Rairdon of Kirkland was simply the best, and my mom says she will be driving over from Spokane for all repairs she needs on her jeep; even oil changes!

TERRIBLE Experience I bought a brand new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee in Late 2013. It broke 25 months later. They couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the car, I have to I bought a brand new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee in Late 2013. It broke 25 months later. They couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the car, I have to bring it in 4 times and leave it with them for at least 4 days each time. They don’t return message, don’t call back, no updates…just terrible service. What really added salt to injury, is that they called the rental car, that I had to pay for every time they work on my car, they call it a “loaner” !! I couldn’t take it anywhere else, because the issue had to do with the computer which only dealerships have the equipment’s to work on. The only people was happy to call me was the sale dept. to convince me to trade it in for a new one. Out of desperation, I tried that. They gave me $13000 trade in value for it. $6000 less than recommended. I’ll spare you the details of the agony I went though for 2 months, and I’ll just say I’LL NEVER GET A JEEP AGAIN. The happiest day was when I trade it in for $17,000 and I got a brand new car, another brand of course. More
And you thought their sales dept was bad Another terrible experience at Rairdon's Jeep of Kirkland, but this will at least be the last time... I've been a sales and service customer here sinc Another terrible experience at Rairdon's Jeep of Kirkland, but this will at least be the last time... I've been a sales and service customer here since I purchased my 2012 Jeep here new. The vehicle has had ongoing issues with squealing coming from the engine since its first oil change. After replacing multiple components numerous times for the same issue, they have now decided it needs an alternator (the one thing that wasn't replaced during all of the other attempted repairs) and refuse to cover it under warranty. Now if this was caused by abuse or neglect I would completely expect to have to pay out of pocket for the repairs... same for maintenance, but absolutely not for an ongoing warranty issue. After reminding them of the ongoing issues they still completely refused to help. The manager (with the authority to resolve the issue) was busy all morning and couldn't be bothered. I guess I'll have to find a new (non-Rairdon's) dealer for all my maintenance and service and I guess they'll have to find another sucker to take advantage of... Be warned this dealer, will NOT stand behind their product or services. *UPDATE* Rairdon's service manager called me back to discuss the situation. She said that she reviewed my service history as well as this review. After lecturing me a bit about "how things work", she explained that they would NOT be willing to assist me further. So here's what you get to look forward to here at Rairdon's... Terrible service followed by more terrible service after you complain. Do yourself a favor and find a good, reputable Jeep dealer. There's plenty of them out there, just make sure Rairdon's is not in the name. More
Service Department has been great I took my 2009 Dodge Ram in for service for "check engine" light. It was determined that turbo needed to be replaced, which is covered under the ext I took my 2009 Dodge Ram in for service for "check engine" light. It was determined that turbo needed to be replaced, which is covered under the extended warranty I purchased. Due to the cost of the repair, a warranty adjuster would first have to authorize it. It took four days for adjuster to go to dealership at which time the adjuster reset the code and said it was fixed, denied any repair. In addition my rental car expense was not covered. When I went to pick up truck, John my service rep informed me that the light would come back on and to bring it back when it does and start all over. Before I was able to drive off lot, the check engine light came back on. Scheduled appointment for the following Monday, took another four days for adjuster to show up and finally got warranty work approved. John in service also got me an additional 4 days rental due to delay of adjuster and weekend coming up. I highly recommend Rairdon. John and the service department has been there for me. Now the adjuster for the extended warranty is another issue. Unethical if you ask me. I have made two calls to Dodge regarding warranty adjuster and the rental expense I incurred due to adjuster denying warranty work even though it is covered. More
Great Dealership - Fast Service, Friendly Staff I've been a customer of Rairdon's for a few years now and have never had a bad experience. The staff is always friendly, willing to go the "extra mile I've been a customer of Rairdon's for a few years now and have never had a bad experience. The staff is always friendly, willing to go the "extra mile" for you, knowledgable, and never tries to "up sell" you on products you don't need. I've had everything from the routine oil change, to tires, and everything in-between. I've also looked at buying a vehicle, and while I haven't yet, they always make an amazing offer. The only note - there is no $10 oil change like you get at the corner service stores. But, I've always found it better to pay the little extra even for the small services, in return for the overall experience and quality that Rairdon's provides. I always find it a good time to go in and it's easy - free coffee, free wifi, TV, everything. More
Recall notices being used for slimy sales tactics Describe my experience today: SLIMY! Called to inquire about a recall notice received in the mail, told that I'd need an appointment with a Kevin Gr Describe my experience today: SLIMY! Called to inquire about a recall notice received in the mail, told that I'd need an appointment with a Kevin Graham. Once there for the appointment I was directed to a desk where a guy was calling himself the Chrysler recall specialist, I was then told how my 2011 Jeep Overland Summit was possibly unsafe to drive due to possible brake failure. Because the parts needed for the repair are currently unavailable they wouldn't be able to perform the inspection or repair at that time but they would be able to put my vehicle on the waiting list if I signed a recall form he put in front of me. I refused to sign it, and was told I couldn't be put on the waiting list until I did so. But I had a few options, drive a possibly unsafe car that the brakes could fail at anytime, or I should consider all the improvements that have been made to the 2012 and newer years, or, just park it until the parts are available. Any car dealership that would allow this man, whoever he was, to set up a temporary desk in middle of the showroom floor, and refer to himself as a recall specialist who works for Chrysler. This was all done in front of other sales staff and management. Wow! What other kind of sleazy, slimy sales tactics go on at this place mid day, mid week and in the middle of the dealership floor. I am still in disbelief that this happened to me today. A few calls to other dealerships confirmed my suspicion that this was just bull crap pulled at this Kirkland dealership. I will gladly be driving a few extra miles to Monroe or Bellevue for any future service or sales from now on ~ Maria 7/10/2014 More
