Avoid at all costs. - Jay W
Avoid at all costs. Service department is horrible at best.
First issue was with my first service appointment after buying a new truck from them. The dealership emailed a coupon for a free oil change that the service advisor tried their best not to honor. After way too much time and effort, the service manager honored the coupon as it was written. (What a concept.). Note - it wasn’t an ambiguously worded coupon… it was very clear and had an expiration date.
Second issue, when you call the service department they never answer. When you leave a message, they don’t return your call. This has occurred every time I’ve tried to contact them over the last year and a half. Frustrating when you have simple questions or try to schedule an appointment.
Third issue, and more importantly, I noticed a loose trim piece on the skid plate of my truck. It looked like a simple fix but I took it in for them to look at because I didn’t want to crawl under my truck. The service advisor then let me know that the technician said that there was no way to secure the loose piece and that if I wanted to fix it I would have to buy a new skid plate for $197. He did advise that it was just cosmetic and that he personally wouldn’t do anything.
When I got home I decided to take a look myself. I got under my truck and 90 seconds later the piece was secure. It was simple to align the four connectors with an assembly on the other side of the skid plate. The inside assembly was loose without the outer piece being in place but once lined up it snapped together and was very tight and secure.
The technician obviously is either 100% incompetent or did not even try. I have zero mechanical or technical skills. I fixed the issue in 90 seconds. Pictures attached.
The service advisor was incorrect as well. The loose piece was not merely cosmetic, it is required to hold the assembly on the other side in place. Without replacing it, it would have caused rattles at a minimum and potentially additional unintended damage from road debris. I will say that he didn’t push me to purchase the replacement skid plate, but that was due to his ignorance on the actual function of the loose piece.
I contacted the service center manager… as expected it was just “awww shucks, sorry about that.” No real concern that his employees are completely inept at best. Someone should be fired… most likely the manager as his employees are not well trained at all and the entire department is rife with constant issues.
I would not recommend having your vehicle serviced at this dealership. I will drive out of my way in the future for a service department that is more competent and trustworthy.
