I see in the reviews that I'm not the only one who experienced a low price, high discount vehicle but with hidden add-ons! Flow is a snake.
It took six days for someone at Flow Chevy to actually help me. The initial correspondence with Samuel was confusing and lacked attention. Alicia was polite and professional via email, The advertised price looked too good to be true—and it was. The online listing failed to disclose several Flow add-ons, including the Flow Shield Package, Flow Total Protection Package, and assist steps, all of which significantly inflated the final price. These were not optional, and none were clearly included in the advertised number, only after they put the numbers together. On top of that, my trade-in was valued below market. Carmax even understood that and offered me $7k more. When I questioned Flow the low offer, I was told: “You are getting $39k for your trade plus the $1,000 rebate for trade assistance and the $2,000 discount for upgrade assistance, so you are getting around $42k for your trade.” This explanation is misleading. Incentives are meant to benefit the customer—not be used to mask a lower trade-in value or make the numbers look better on paper. Using rebates to offset an underpriced trade is not transparent and is not how fair deals are done. Overall, the experience was slow, unclear, and disappointing. I expected straightforward pricing and honest communication—especially when buying a high-end truck—but instead got hidden add-ons and creative math.
