I must edit this review. Obviously saying I was robbed is hyperbole. I am angry and every thing else stands as written, but I was not robbed.
I was robbed today at Griffis Motors, Philadelphia, MS.
I called yesterday (1/10/24) to ask about REMOTE START being added to my car. There’s supposedly a dealer code that will add it if you have push button start and the right remote. “What do I do for that to happen?" I asked. “We have one key fob here and it’s about $350 + tax” was the reply. I agreed to come in the next day (1/11/24).
When I walked in, I gave my name and said I had called yesterday about REMOTE START for my car. The person I talked to walked me back to the shop. When I spoke to the young man there, I said I had come to get REMOTE START added to my car. I gave him my insurance card so he could get the VIN. I said it was for the Jeep because the Suzuki already had REMOTE START. I only needed REMOTE START added to the Jeep. Still no statement from them that they couldn’t do REMOTE START for me, only give me a new key fob.
I waited less than an hour, paid my bill ($372.58) and left. On driving away, I realized I hadn’t asked how the REMOTE START worked, plus my radio was off and I didn’t know how to turn it back on. I went back to the dealership.
I went in and told them about the radio. When the young man from the shop came, he said it would just be a moment. Then I asked how the REMOTE START worked. He said that my car wasn’t programmed for REMOTE START. I knew then I had been duped. Actually, I think everyone made a silly mistake but I knew then they wouldn’t own up to it.
The usual xx started. “Who told you you could get REMOTE START?” Doesn’t matter – your dealership told me. “You must have said ‘key fob’ and we misunderstood.” No. I repeatedly said REMOTE START and nothing else. “We can do the REMOTE START for $1000 + labor. And I’ll even give you $150 refund for the key fob.” You know … the one I didn’t need that I had now.
Bottom line – they refuse to refund my money. I have a key fob I didn’t need and no REMOTE START which I did need.
I cannot in good conscience recommend Griffis Motors to anyone.
