I am incredibly disappointed with the service I received - Deianeiras
I am incredibly disappointed with the service I received from the service department. My husband and I dropped off our brand-new 2025 Chevrolet Equinox for a scheduled 8:00 AM appointment to address serious issues, including shaking at speeds over 60 mph and alignment problems. We’d had the vehicle for less than two weeks at the time, so we expected prompt and professional service.
We specifically asked our advisor to keep us updated, but no one reached out to either of us the entire day. I finally called around 4:30 PM, only to be given the runaround. I was transferred multiple times and sent to voicemail repeatedly. This lack of communication and accountability is unacceptable, especially for a brand-new vehicle and at a dealership we trusted.
The dealership’s service department kept the car for an additional day and performed an alignment. They claimed the alignment fixed the problem and even noted in their service report that the issue was resolved after a test drive. However, when we reviewed the paperwork, we noticed that the mileage in and out was exactly the same. When questioned later, they admitted that no one had driven the vehicle, contradicting the service report. How could the dealership’s service department fail to identify such a basic issue with their own vehicle? This blatant lack of transparency and accountability is beyond frustrating and completely unacceptable.
When we picked the vehicle back up and noticed it was still shaking, we brought it right back. The Sales Manager, James Russo, gave us a loaner vehicle and assured us he would personally make sure the issue was handled. Despite this, they kept our vehicle for an entire week, and during that time, no one called to update us. I had to reach out myself, and they finally told me the car was ready. However, when I picked it up again, the shaking issue was still unresolved.
Frustrated, we took the car to Firestone to have them diagnose the issue. It took them less than an hour to determine that the problem was due to two bad tires—an issue that Capital Chevrolet’s service department failed to identify despite having the vehicle in their possession for over a week with no real solution. How is it that another company was able to identify the issue so quickly, while Capital Chevrolet’s service department completely failed to do so?
Now, it’s time for me to make my first payment on a vehicle I haven’t even had for a full week since purchasing it. This entire experience has left a sour taste in my mouth and completely shattered my trust in this dealership. After dealing with the service department, I will NEVER buy another vehicle from this dealership, nor will I refer anyone to come here. Clear communication, basic accountability, and proper diagnosis of a vehicle’s issues should be standard practice, and yet, none of these expectations were met.
It’s disappointing because my initial experience with the sales department was phenomenal. On 11/14/24, I decided to trade in my 2024 Honda HR-V and purchased the Chevrolet Equinox. Both Frankie Reyes and Finance Manager Will Perry provided excellent service, making the process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. Frankie went above and beyond to make the process seamless, while Will Perry ensured we felt supported and valued throughout the entire transaction. Their professionalism and dedication to exceptional service left me feeling confident and reassured in my decision.
Unfortunately, the service department’s complete lack of communication, transparency, and failure to resolve such a critical issue has erased any positive feelings I once had about this dealership. I hope this feedback encourages serious improvements, but as of now, I cannot recommend this dealership to anyone.
