Sands Chevrolet - Glendale - Service Center

I'm new to the Phoenix area and needed to find a Chevrolet service center to do some scheduled maintenance on my certified used Malibu. After looking over some reviews of nearby dealer service, I c Chevrolet service center to do some scheduled maintenance on my certified used Malibu. After looking over some reviews of nearby dealer service, I chose Sands service dept. When I talked w John on the phone he did a great job letting me know how much time to expect the job to take and verified the work was covered by Chevy's certified maintenance program (= no cost to me). When I arrived Mike R quickly helped me get the info so they could enter my info in their system (since it was my first visit) and work on it. The waiting area was great and all the people were friendly. After an hour and a half, the car was ready in just about the same time John told me it would take when I talked w him on the phone. They also washed the car as part of their service (and did a great job since it was really dirty due to two long trips). I knew they were the right answer for service when they didn't try and 'sell' me 'extra' service that would cost me $$ (like the last dealer I used in HdG, MD). Overall, Sands Chevrolet service dept is highly recommended if you want straight forward, friendly people that do great work. More

Adam Shadley is one the best Service Consultants I've ever done business with. His attention-to-detail and professional demeaner really impressed me! He and his team 'bent-over-backwards' to honor my r ever done business with. His attention-to-detail and professional demeaner really impressed me! He and his team 'bent-over-backwards' to honor my request to have 'factory' foglights installed on my 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Extended Cab 4X4. The technician/mechanic who did the installation, did an outstanding job! Adam is friendly, patient and always helpful to explain every detail of the work being done to a customer's vehicle. He explained how my alarm system works, the foglights, and when I forgot how the daytime running lights functioned (and the headlights in general) he patiently explained to me how they work. He is definitely a valuable asset to your dealership and I look forward to having him for my Service Consultant in the future. More

This dealership did a service on my transmission. One month later I had to have the truck towed to another dealership because the transmission would not engage in any gear. The dealership it got towed t month later I had to have the truck towed to another dealership because the transmission would not engage in any gear. The dealership it got towed to found the transmission filter was in the bottom of the pan. They said the last person to service it did not install the filter properly and it was only luck that it lasted as long as it did. I called to get sands chevy to right the error. The service consultant was very apologetic and said that I need to speak to her manager. I called and left a message for him and he never returned my phone call. I called a week later when he told me to send the bill from the other dealership and he would get back to me. Three weeks later and 20 phone calls later he still has not responded. He does not answer his phone or return messages. This is bad customer service and not acceptable for a dealership claiming to have great customer services. I make sure to tell everyone about the crappy service. More

1. Dealership sold me a car for 5000 while saying it was worth 7500. Kelly Blue Book says it is worth 3600. 2. I was told that I needed to go on and rate their dealership right away and make it all fiv worth 7500. Kelly Blue Book says it is worth 3600. 2. I was told that I needed to go on and rate their dealership right away and make it all fives all the way down. Once the rating was done, they did not honor their warranty or even try to be of help. 3. Warranty was not honored. They lied when I returned it twice for repairs within the warranty period. They said there may be a plastic piece loose underneath but used is not going to tear it apart for that!~ 4. I did not know that they took it off the "not ready for sale" lot to show me. I returned to try to get a truck a few months later, and they told me what that lot was. 5. While trying to return it, I was shuffled around by both phone and appearing in person. More

I gave rey a great rating because he was always on top of everything making sure we were taken care off and doing his best. even if we were looking for parts. everything making sure we were taken care off and doing his best. even if we were looking for parts. More

I originally came in for repairs for old car. I pulled into the wrong area but Beau assisted me in finding service area for my car. I was already weighing if repairs may cost too much should I look into a into the wrong area but Beau assisted me in finding service area for my car. I was already weighing if repairs may cost too much should I look into another car? So I told Beau what I was looking for in a car and The 2012 Cruze was the first car I drove in and I found no need to look at any more. My car was fixable but the offer of a new car with a lower intrest rate coverage I didn't have before was awesome. Between Beau and Heston they both found me a deal i never knew was possible for me to have, a new car that only had 10 miles on it. Thank you everyone even Dean in financing who got me a awesome intrest rate. Jennifer S. More

I had originally purchased my 2011 Chevy Cruze from Power Chevrolet. I had received a recall in the mail for the Cruze. It just so happened that I had seen Mike Kalin at the grovery store and knowing he was Chevrolet. I had received a recall in the mail for the Cruze. It just so happened that I had seen Mike Kalin at the grovery store and knowing he was a sales rep at Sands he offered to take my car in and take care of the recall and also get the maintenance on the cruze. See, I had purchased (an extended warranty from Power Chevrolet that was explained to me and my daughter that we would get oil changes every 3,000 miles and a clear coat( that was to be hand polished and assured me that it would protect my car from any scratches, and normal wear and tear for five years. The finance manager and also salesman said my car would look the same in 5 years as it did today. I said Heck yes. This might be one of the last brand new cars that I get. After my first oil change I seen the car go thru the basic car wash, I asked when the clear coat was going to be applied and he said it already had. I was sitting inside the service area watching and at no time did anybody polish my new car for me. I voiced my concern to the service writer at Power Chevrolet and he said they had been having some problems with the sales department telling customers one thing and that's not exactly true.He also said they had had a weekly meeting and tried to tell the salespeople not to say that exact thing to the customers cause it was not true. I was a little angry when I left. I was a little upset but rather than say something I would regret later I walked out. When explaining to Mike that I had to get an oil change and the clear coat along with the recall, Mike Kalin offered to come and pick up my car and take it to Sands Chevrolet of Glendale to take care of the routine maintenance for me. Mike made a phone call to Mr. Tim Vinning and he said to bring the car right down and they would have it done by the end of the evening for me. After the oil change was completed, I was given a call by Sands and told me the cost. I was somewhat dumbfounded as I bought a maintenance policy that gave me unlimited oil changes FREE for 5 years as explained to me by Power chevrolet. He said it could be done at any Chevy dealership across the United States. This is not true. The service manager said this was only done at Power Chevrolet and could not be done anywhere else. We did explain that we traveled alot. Dont"t worry and Chevy Deealership can do this. I called and taled with Jimmy (Assistant Sales Manager) at Power and he said he would explain the situation to the General Manager) who did listen and said he could not help me. Frustrated, I told them I would never be back and would write a review on this site and he said go ahead we don"t care and don;t need the business.Excuse me. At this time when the economy is so bad you are in customer service and your goal is to help customers. Sure seems funny that Mike Kalin went over and beyond what I ever expected. I taled to their General Manager ( Glen Grobney) at Sands, he explained that clear coat comes as a courtsey as part of the detail area when getting service done and applied to every car. Glen did settle me down some but still very frustrated at Power. I am an elderly woman living on Social Security and paying the 600.00 extra for clear coat that does not exsist is pure rip off if you ask me. Fraud. And this is not the last time they will hear from me. My lawyer will be next. I personally want to first off Thank Mike, for going out of his way to accomidate me, and Glen and Tim for there prompt and excellent service. I would NOT recommend Power Chevrolet in Arrowhead to anybody. Unless you have money to pay for service contracts that do not exist. As a widowed woman who lives on a fixed income, I would recommend sands as they did not take advantage of me and this situation in any way. HEY ARIZONA GO TO SANDS AND SEE MIKE KALIN IN SALES AND TIM VINNING IN SERVICE. You will not be disappointed. More
