LIES LIES and TERRIBLE WORK
I would give -5 if that was an option.
Were to begin with the terrible misuse of the word Customer Service at Byway Chevrolet. I’m going to lead this with, I have worked in the auto industry for over 18 years and have purchased 22+ vehicles in my lifetime. 15 of them dealer experiences. And I have to say, my transaction at Bayway Chevrolet was far from curious and respectful.
So I see a vehicle there I am interested in purchasing, so I begin my interest. The truck I was buying was overpriced by far and had several issues. In speaking with the salesman, we came up with a plan to get all the items repaired to make this a deal. There was a lot of back and forth, mainly because he didn’t pay attention. So I decided to get the used sales manager involved. After much debate, they agreed to replace shocks, brakes, driveshaft and CV shafts. There was also huge scratches down the side of the truck that they said they would have repainted.
3 weeks go by, and mind you, I have already paid for the truck and did all the paperwork. I actually had to drive over there several times to remind them that the work needed to be done on the truck. Nothing was happening, so I involved the main sales manager from the big building. He tried to go back on the word, but after much debate, they agreed to replace what we agreed to get replaced in the first place. The truck is a Toyota, so I specifically asked to have the parts replaced with OEM Toyota parts, and the GM agreed.
Fast forward a few days, the repairs were made and the truck was ready for pickup. When I went to pick up finally, the left side had not been repainted yet. So I said to them, “hey, you guys forgot to paint this side of the truck with all the scratches”. They again tried to fight me on this and we had already agreed on that over 3 weeks ago. Not to mention when I went to pick up the truck, everyone I asked for help was rude and pretty much ignored me. So I fought with the GM of sales for a bit and finally he agreed to hold up his deal and get the left side repainted.
Now on to the paint job. I am pretty sure my 3 year old daughter could have done a better job. There was overspray all over the truck, fish eye and here’s the best part…. The paint shop painted over the TRD sticker and rock chip protectors. I mean, SEROIUSLY?! At that point I had already made my first payment on the truck and was just getting it that same day. Pathetic, I know. With the crappy paint job, I went on my way, just happy to finally get the truck.
Fast forward 3 months, the new “OEM” CV shafts they said there were putting in were not OEM, they were auto zone or Oreilly parts. All the CV boots had already cracked after just 3 months and the dealership would not honor their work. So it ended up costing me $4,500.00 out of pocked to fix their mistakes and LIES.
Long story short, avoid this dealership at all costs unless you like getting ripped off, lied to, overpriced vehicles, poor work and poor communication. Now I am trying to save up money to get the paint fixed.
