When I call PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE ENTERING THIS DEALERSHIP! I received a 'recall' notice in the mail yesterday for our 2012 Jeep Patriot. When I called Rairdon's to inquire what the recall was for, it was suggested we come to the dealership to discuss our options with the recall specialist because our car could potentially be unsafe to drive. Today, my husband, one year old, and I went to the dealership for our appointment. There were already customers with the recall specialist, as well as more people waiting to speak with him after our appointment-- a steady flow of people coming in and out that had received recalls in the mail. Upon sitting down at the table, and handing the "specialist" our recall notice, he looked at the paper, pulled out his binder and told us, "THIS IS THE WORST RECALL I'VE SEEN...IF YOUR CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WOULD BE GAS EVERYWHERE AND IT WOULD BE LIKE THE MOVIES... FIRE EVERYWHERE". He then proceeded to tell us, while looking at our child, that since we have responsibilities as parents to keep her safe, we should no longer drive our car. He pulled out a contract to have us sign, which we didn't, that stated that we were not recommended to drive our car. The kicker-- the new parts for our car would take 3-4 months to get in, so rather than having an un-drivable car, we could have the option to trade it in for something better for little to no cost. We were then sent to talk to the "Jeep Specialist" to help us work out our options. This specialist confirmed with us, after going and getting our VIN number from our specific car, that our car was part of the recall and that we shouldn't drive our car. After going over our list of needs for a trade in, he came back and told us to come outside to see the car he found and that it was "perfect". It was, to say the least, the BIGGEST downgrade from our car possible. I don't know how he thought we would even consider trading our car for what he showed us. We would have been idiots to take the trade. After telling him we weren't interested, he took us inside and said that he didn't have a single other car for us, there were no other options. We asked what the cash trade in would be and he told us a price less than what the car was worth, and even admitted that our car was worth more than his offer. HERE'S THE PART YOU HAVE TO READ: After telling him we just wanted to wait for the recall parts instead of trading in our car, the Jeep specialist- who just so happens to be the Floor Manager as well, took us to the parts department and left. We were planning to set up an appointment and potentially finding a rental car for the time being, when this man tells us, "YOU'RE GOOD TO GO, THERE IS NOTHING NEEDING TO BE FIXED ON YOUR CAR"... WHAT?! We double checked and told him we had the recall notice and that we were JUST told not to drive our car because it was unsafe, and he insured us that our car was fine. I literally asked the man-- "So they were COMPLETELY LYING to us to try to get us to upgrade and give you our perfectly good car?!" His response, "YES". This is THE MOST UNETHICAL SCHEME...I am truly beside myself that a dealership could use fear tactics and could be so immoral. To tell us that we are putting our daughter at risk by driving our car, then to find out it was a complete lie?! I am truly appalled by what happened today, and you can be assured that I am going to do everything in my power to prevent anyone from going to this dealership-- for anything! More
Well your dealership managed, yet again, to fail me. On Saturday (Sept 7t) I returned to get the paint sealant redone. I was outside and witnessed my Jeep being recklessly driven (backed into while burnin Saturday (Sept 7t) I returned to get the paint sealant redone. I was outside and witnessed my Jeep being recklessly driven (backed into while burning out) into the detail building that also had another vehicle in it. I contacted the "Service Manager" Justin Reynolds whom I was informed that was just an acting manager because he was actually a service advisor but since there were no managers there he was standing in. He took my issue and attempted to contact the actual manager but that person was not answering their phone. I did get the privilege to speak with the only manager at the dealership the Sales Manager who when I went to determine the status of my vehicle, while I was upset at my treatment, would not come down from the sales perch to speak with me and became argumentative with me. I asked if the General Manager was called and apprised to which I was informed that it would not do any good and when I asked that he be called I was again informed of my futility. There were only two good employees that showed any concern with my issues and they were Justin and another one of the (I will call him a lot attendant, an older gentleman who apologized and even had me pull around to have tire dressing applied to the wheels and tires).

I went to the Rairdon's of Kirkland to have my brakes fixed. They took care of me although it was expensive to fix on a car that is less then 2 years old. Rich Regan gave me a follow up call to make sure fixed. They took care of me although it was expensive to fix on a car that is less then 2 years old. Rich Regan gave me a follow up call to make sure everything was okay. So far so good. About a month later turns out they are extending the parts warranty and they are going to pay for the repair now. Anyway, I went back in today and Rich took care of me and went out of his way to make me a priority. Raena More
