Tim Lally charges for items that don DECEIT & FRAUD – BUYER BEWARE Tim Lally Chevrolet has a foundation based on deceit, incompetence, and fraud. Tim Lally charges for items that don’t need to be replaced and surreptitiously increase the bill for services that are based on incompetence and deceit. In addition, their supervisor Mark Rigby, will be sure to scream at you and denigrate you in front of other employees. Caught red-handed, Tim Lally is unwilling to resolve their mistakes, and invites you to take them to court. Before buying or taking your vehicle to Tim Lally, look up how many lawsuits they’ve been involved in (its public record) and consider my story below. I recently took my vehicle to Tim Lally because my check engine light was on and my vehicle wasn’t running correctly. After a diagnostic, I was initially told that replacing a sensor (costing nearly $750) would completely resolve the problem. In addition, the service manager convinced me to also replace a solenoid that ostensibly would go bad in the future. So, I agreed to the $1,600 in repairs based on the promise, and diagnostic, that I would be on my merry little way once the repairs were completed. Unfortunately, the repairs did nothing, and I’m in the same position as I was when I brought the vehicle in. After paying for parts and services that were ultimately superfluous, Tim Lally then claimed that the problem was due to some other mechanical problem - an additional $4,200. What! At this point, they had my vehicle for a week, and no way was I going to spend another $4,200 for something that should have been diagnosed from the start. So, I did what anyone else would do, I asked for a refund for the unneeded services that were already performed and planned on taking my vehicle to a more competent repair shop. I took off work to pick up my vehicle and figured they would be apologetic about the situation. Boy was I wrong. After talking to the service manager, I was quickly taken back into an office away from other customers. Supervisor Mark Rigby immediately closed the door and began to yell and scream demanding payment for repairs. He said “I don’t care what you do or what your story is, pay the money or take me to small claims.” I realized that it was Mark’s conscious effort to try and get me to yell back, but I wasn’t going to bring myself down to that level. Every time I spoke, I was interrupted and yelled at some more. He even went as far as making denigrating comments about my reputation – but this is the first time I met the guy. (By the way, I realized quickly that Mark Rigby was unwilling to resolve the issue so I quickly started to record the conversation. A blog and recording will be linked to this complaint) Instead of refunding me for repairs that supposedly would solve my problem, I was given only one choice – pay the bill or we keep your vehicle hostage. And that’s where it stands. I write this letter, as my vehicle sits in the cold, unrepaired, and $1,600 in the hole. But this isn’t the first time Tim Lally has treated customers this way. Three months ago I brought my truck in because the wheels were shaking. Just 15 days before I brought it in, I had the brake pads replaced by another mechanic. Yet, Tim Lally called to say that I needed an entire brake job, pads and all. Just to be sure, I snuck back into the garage, crawled under the truck, and to no surprise the pads I had replace 15 days prior still had bar code on them. To no surprise, I would not recommend Tim Lally. I’m told that in situations like these, there are consumer protection laws that allow for complete recovery. I’m not sure on the laws, but I’m also told that customers can actually get up to triple damages if certain guidelines are not followed by mechanics. In any event, my vehicle sits at Tim Lally as I write this complaint. My face is still soaked from the wet breath of Mark Rigby yelling in my face. And Tim Lally has a brand new facility that they need to pay for – bilking consumers to cover the bill. More

Great Service/Awesome Experience I have had nothing but positive experiences at Tim Lally. I have been a customer since 2007 when I leased my first (and only) car. Most of my interact I have had nothing but positive experiences at Tim Lally. I have been a customer since 2007 when I leased my first (and only) car. Most of my interactions have since been with the service staff (routine oil changes and repairs) and they are GREAT (especially Matt and Curtis). They are timely, friendly, polite, and respectable. They address any concerns I may have about my car and take the time to answer the many questions I sometime have. Scheduling a service appointment is easy. The waiting area is comfortable. Overall, great place and great customer service. More

We talk to a service professional Matt Nagy who helped me along the process in determined that it was the transmission computer inside the transmission itself. Since the car had over 100000 miles Matt called Chevrolet corporation and try to find out if they were willing to cover the expense of the transmission computer. Matt called me back with the good news that despite being over 100,000 miles Chevrolet corporation was willing to pay 75% of the expense and I only had to pay the deductible. I would like to personally thank Matt for everything that he did and recommend Tim Lally Chevrolet for service in the future. Respectfully, Brian Thelen :) More
