The one time I contacted someone on the phone I was transferred to their voice mail. I took my van in on a Thursday afternoon, received a notice they were requesting warranty approval on Friday. Friday afternoon I received a text saying it was approved but too late in the day to complete the work. So no transport for my wife for the weekend. Monday no one would return my calls. Yes, I finally got my van back and the work appears to be very satisfactory but the communication was very frustrating. More

Everybody at the dealership treated me pretty well. My dealer salesman was George and he was pretty nice. The only problem was his product knowledge on a Chevrolet was very minimal. The manager, Bob, w My dealer salesman was George and he was pretty nice. The only problem was his product knowledge on a Chevrolet was very minimal. The manager, Bob, was pretty nice to me also. The problem I had with the dealership was they bought a auction vehicle and apparently they did not check it out before they put it on the floor. The second day I had it I had to take it to a Chevy dealer near my home because it would not run right. It turned out it needed almost $5,500 worth of work to make it decent again. Whoever put in the head gasket put it in backwards and it was running like crap. I just think they should check their vehicles out a little better than they do before they sell them on them market. It took me 3 days of running around and I still was not satisfied. I spent hours at the dealership waiting for them to figure out what was wrong. I'm not sure if the guys in the back were very honest to me. I finally got fed up and took the vehicle and traded it in for a Ford truck which is very beautiful and perfectly maintained. I probably lost a few thousand dollars on this deal but I'm very glad to get rid of the vehicle that I bought from thunder. It just was not a very good experience for me and I've never been one to give a bad review unless it was necessary. This review is kind of in the middle. The people were nice but the vehicle was not. It makes me hesitant to deal here again. More
