Worse Service Dept! The Service Department is beyond subpar – absolute joke (especially service advisors). Will not give them my business ever again. Their speed and cour The Service Department is beyond subpar – absolute joke (especially service advisors). Will not give them my business ever again. Their speed and courtesy towards loyal and high paying customers (bought last 3 cars from them and have had all services at this dealership, always wanted to give them another chance). If you have ALL the time in the world, then it might be your kind of place (I don’t have 9-10 hours a day to wait around for a simple service), but nothing gets communicated or done quickly, efficiently, or respectfully. This dealership service department and service advisors do not value customers’ times, hard earned money, loyalty, and patience. Too many strikes against them. Listed in order of absurdity below: A few weeks ago I started hearing a rattling noise on my car, so I scheduled an appointment – had to be 3 weeks out as they’re that busy (later to find out the lies behind this as they overbook themselves too much) . Appointment was for Monday as they were busy that far out. Dropped off the car on Sunday night. Monday morning at 8am I get a call to go over details of problems (great start). At 11:30am (3.5 hours later) still haven’t heard anything from them, so we give them a call and are advised we’ll be called back -> 40 minutes go by, finally, the call back is made. It was determined that 2 sway bar links need replaced – awesome. I advise them to give me a call as soon as they’re done so we can go and pick it up. 3 pm (3 hours after the call back) rolls around – no call yet. I call them, and of course, am told that they will have to call me back. 4:40pm comes – still no call. So I call -> service advised tells me that he thought he called me, which he hadn’t. Tells me that car will be ready at 5:15-5:30 (10 hours after dealership opens). I advise him that I work until 5 and then at 5:30, so I need a loaner car. He proceeds to tell me there’s no loaner. I ask to speak to a manager. After 5 minutes on hold – manager answers, I explain the situation, and he immediately tells me that car keys and paperwork are in front of him and ready (what in the world was the service adviser telling me? Either lies or had no clue what he was talking about at that point). I advised the manager of the non existence of their communication towards the customers from their service advisors. At NO Point did he proceed to apologize, but rather just keep making excuses of how they go through 40 cars a day (overbooking, even after I scheduled appointment 3 weeks prior), how things take time, and to defend their practice. He didn’t even attempt to apologize, or to offer to make anything right or to do a courtesy discount. I advised the manager that my family will not purchase or service any vehicle any longer there in result of their incompetence (see below for other examples – short versions of those). A few years ago my car’s headlight burnt out, so we took it to get it replaced. As the car was new model, they didn’t even know how to change the lightbulb (Chrysler car at a Chrysler dealership?? Really?). We dropped off the car in the morning; didn’t hear anything from them until WE called them 4 hours later. At that point we were advised that they’re still looking into it. 3 hours after that – WE called them again, at which point they advised it was done and it was going to take another hour to get the courtesy shuttle to the house (we live 10 minutes away) so we can pick up the car. At no point did they initiate the call to us to advise of time expectations, status of repair, or anything. Last year took car for a recall and electrical issue. Scheduled an appointment Took over 2 hours to even diagnose (again, service advisors were nowhere to be found or to be in any kind of remote hurry to take care of waiting customers) and another 1 hour to push the update to the car, which in the end didn’t even push as my car wasn’t appropriate for that software update. I have used the Express Lane oil change quite often, and more often than not, it takes over 1.5 hours for that to get accomplished (not because it doesn’t get changed quickly, but rather because service advisors wait over 20-30 minutes after the car is done (I can see it sitting in parking lot washed and ready) to even find the customers to check them out). I cannot stress enough - this dealership service department and service advisors do not value customers’ time, hard earned money, loyalty, and patience. More
Avoid Their Service Department! I purchased my Jeep here 5 years ago, and the sales experience was good. Unfortunately that's the only good thing I have to say about this place. I ab I purchased my Jeep here 5 years ago, and the sales experience was good. Unfortunately that's the only good thing I have to say about this place. I absolutely love my Jeep and it's really unfortunate I can't trust the service department of the dealership where I purchased my vehicle. I recently brought my vehicle to the "Express Lane" for an oil change and tire rotation, two days in a row I was turned away because they were too busy. Finally, the third time I brought it back they were able to fit me in. While rotating my tires, someone came out to alert me that my brake pads and rotors, front and rear, were in need of immediate attention and needed to be replaced. The problem I had with this, is I had just had all of them replaced a year earlier, and again 8 months before that. When I asked how they could possibly be wearing out so quickly, the only answer I was given was "it's the way you drive." When I said I have NEVER had this issue with a vehicle before, I was met with "well this is a different car." I spoke with a Service Manager and he said he would look into the brake warranty and get back to me to let me know what they could do.....except he never bothered to call me. I can't help but wonder if they use crap parts that wear out quickly so you have to keep coming back to spend more money. On another visit, they recommended four new tires, even though I had just replaced them about 30,000 miles earlier. Maybe they assume that because I'm a woman who comes in alone I'm too stupid to ask questions? Shame on Falls Motor City for trying to take advantage of a loyal customer. I will never step foot into this dealership again. More

The highly-skilled staff showcase their capacity, patience, and heart to go above & beyond the call of duty when their tight schedules permit. The customer service team keeps me in the best possible position to have a safe & most enjoyable driving experience. An honorable mention must include salesman Dave McGraw (and supporting cast....finance, and Todd Dungan....we are all more capable with a strong team). I can confidently say the first-class care, advice, and genuine support are treasured. I consider Dave like a mentor and sometimes toss around ideas pertaining to my life goals. Cheers to “our” continued growth & ....Thanks a Million, Carise C. P.S. A special shout out to all who assist with meeting my extreme “car wash” demands! You are simply accommodating! More
Used car won’t run after 1000 miles I would strongly NOT recommend. Paid good money for a used 2013 Durango. Less than 1000 miles and it intermittently won’t run. Took the car to thei I would strongly NOT recommend. Paid good money for a used 2013 Durango. Less than 1000 miles and it intermittently won’t run. Took the car to their service department and they charged $400+ and did not fix. They diagnosed and said the problem was the battery. They have refused to look at it again without charging for another diagnostic fee. They acted like they really didn’t care if I was satisfied or they had previously tried to fix it. Really get the impression they don’t care about their reputation. More
They are the rip off service They screw you over. They say they fix your car but the don’t.

Sells parts, takes payment then cancels order Ordered a part paid in full then received an email stating order cancelled and refund coming in 7 days, no other explanation. Requested reason why and Ordered a part paid in full then received an email stating order cancelled and refund coming in 7 days, no other explanation. Requested reason why and stated no inventory. If that’s the case no order should have been confirmed or money taken. I now have to wait seven days for my refund not counting the three days they had my money in their bank. Excellent business model for going out of business More
Best dealer experience ever After having a great experience with my Jeep Grand Cherokee, I returned to have my pristine 2003 Ford F 250 Truck in for a wheel alignment, tire rotat After having a great experience with my Jeep Grand Cherokee, I returned to have my pristine 2003 Ford F 250 Truck in for a wheel alignment, tire rotation, and oil change, and again it was superb service and I was in and out in nothing flat. The service department swapped out my old head light bulbs with new HD bulbs that I had purchased at the auto parts store free of charge. Great job and kudos to Betsy and the service department for another great experience........Thank you........Craig More
