I bought a brand new Dodge Ram 1500 from Napleton in Clermont FL. I've had nothing but problems with their service department. IF you can actually talk to someone and actually get any answers or a appo Clermont FL. I've had nothing but problems with their service department. IF you can actually talk to someone and actually get any answers or a appointment consider yourself lucky! I've called 4 times today to get a pretty costly repair done, twice I was told I'd get a call back. I never did. Once call I was told :they're all standing out front, that's why they're not answering the phones " the final time I was on hold for what seemed like 30 minutes. I have never had a good experience with Napleton. I would rather drive 50 miles to another dealer. More

My pick up truck is more than 30 days away from a warranty repair and the mechanic simply crashed it in traffic while testing my car. The dealership didn't care about me, they simply turned their bac warranty repair and the mechanic simply crashed it in traffic while testing my car. The dealership didn't care about me, they simply turned their backs on me and I had to solve the problem they created. The loss from the carfax report (20% depreciation on the value of the car) is all mine. More

My husband and I were talking to the dealership about a dodge ram sport and made an appointment to see it, on Saturday morning we went on to show our daughter and then we realized the truck was sold. We we dodge ram sport and made an appointment to see it, on Saturday morning we went on to show our daughter and then we realized the truck was sold. We were never notified about it selling. Prior to finding out it was sold we did their preapproval process and were told that it was a soft credit check but while my husband was talking to Mike from Kissimmee we both got notifications of a hard inquiry on our credit report. Fast forward to today (Monday) we called and said we are on our way to look at another vehicle a Dodge RamLaramie that was on their Clermont lot, we got there and test drove the vehicle and started the paperwork to buy it. While they got our trade in appraised and information we were then notified that the truck was sold. This happened while we were in the office buying the truck. They allowed someone online to buy it out from under us. We drove 1.5 hours and took off work to get this vehicle. The only thing we were told was “sorry”. This dealership does not care about their customers. They simple will see a vehicle out from under you! Avoid this dealership! More

Sales department was great. Service department is awful. I made an appointment over the phone to have my U Connect device updated. Over the phone, the rep asked me if I would be Service department is awful. I made an appointment over the phone to have my U Connect device updated. Over the phone, the rep asked me if I would be dropping the car off or waiting on the car. I specifically told her I’d be waiting. I get to my appointment and was told I had to leave it for 24 to 48 hours. Okay, if that’s the policy, I get that, but when I made the appointment that information was not provided. Aside from that, a software glad on a U Connect is a 15 minute process. I live an hour away, so this was a major inconvenience. I talked to the service manager and have never encountered a ruder individual in a customer service position. Needless to say, they have lost a customer for life. Back to Bill Bryan Dodge where they are up front about service expectations and always polite. More

Purchased new 2022 Ram 1500. There have been several issues with the service. 1. The tire pressure sensor was causing an error message. I brought it to Napleton’s attention an There have been several issues with the service. 1. The tire pressure sensor was causing an error message. I brought it to Napleton’s attention and they said they would check the tire pressure. I explained that the pressure was good and they did nothing to fix it. 2. The rear window leaked and I made an appointment and took the truck in and dropped it off to get it replaced. I was told it would take about three hours. After about five hours I received a call saying that they did not have the time to fix it that day and to come get the truck. I was told I could schedule the repair person to come to my house and replace the window. I scheduled the repair and the repair person was 4 hours late and after the repair was completed I noticed scratches on the back of the cab on my brand new truck. 3. A paint touch up kit came with the truck when Ipurchased it. I later found out that the wrong color was provided. I asked if I could just bring in one they provided with the truck and swap it for the correct color. When I brought it to the attention of the dealer I was told that they didn’t have the correct color in stock and if I brought the paint that I had to them they would order the color I needed. It is a 30 mile round trip to Napleton. So I asked if they could have the paint delivered to my house and they told me no! They expect me to drive 60 miles to correct their mistake. I have had to make 4 trips to Napleton for service repair issues in the first year of ownership and they want me to make two more. That would make it 360 miles driven to Napleton to correct their issues. Napleton has done nothing right since the sale. On top of all that they send out surveys after the service and when I gave them honest feedback I received calls from the personnel blaming me for impacting their bonuses and reviews with my survey inputs.

¡¡¡DO NOT BUY FROM HERE! !! READ BELOW!!!! I arrived the dealership with a Pre-Approval letter from my Bank. I showed it to the Salesman (Oscar) and the Sales Manager (Carl !! READ BELOW!!!! I arrived the dealership with a Pre-Approval letter from my Bank. I showed it to the Salesman (Oscar) and the Sales Manager (Carlos Argenzio) and told him that I WAS ONLY APPROVING MY BANK TO BE CONTACTED FOR MY FINANCING. I WROTE THE BANK NAME IN THE PAPER SHEET I WAS PRESENTED WITH AND REPEATEDLY TOLD BOTH OF THEM THAT I WAS ONLY AUTHORIZING MY PERSONAL BANK TO BE CONTACTED FOR MY CREDIT INQUIRY AND APPLICATION. WE DID NOT REACH A DEAL WITH THE BMW I WAS INTERESTED IN AND THATS COMPLETELY FINE. I RESPECTFULLY LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND WENT HOME. A COUPLE DAYS AFTER, WHE N I REVIEWED MY CREDIT REPORTS, THEY CONTACTED 8 DIFFERENT BANKS AND PULLED MY CREDIT WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION. 8 DIFFERENT BANKS NOT INCLUDING THE BANK I AUTHORIZE AND REQUESTED TO ONLY BE USED FOR MY CASE. AFTER 3 WEEKS TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF A GENERAL MANAGER, the GSM ENDED UP CALLING ME AND THEIR ONLY EXCUSE WAS THAT AFTER YOU SIGN A CREDIT FORM THEY CAN REACH OUT TO PULL YOUR CREDIT TO ANY BANK!!!! BASICALLY MY REQUEST AND SIGNATURE WERE NOT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION AND THEY BASICALLY DID WHATEVER THEY WANTED. I WOULD RECOMMEND TO LOOK AT ANOTHER DEALER WERE SALESMAN AND SALES MANAGERS INCLUDING GM’S WERE STRAIGHT AND HONEST WHEN MANAGING SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS OUR CREDIT!!!! MY EXPERIENCE WAS HORRIBLE AND THE PROCESS TO GET AHOLD OF SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THE FOLLOW UP PROCESS WOULD BE THE WORST. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE!!! More

Editing to add: I took my car to another shop. They quickly found the issue was due to a faulty ignition switch. They repaired it, and the van runs perfectly. Napleton has refused to work with me They quickly found the issue was due to a faulty ignition switch. They repaired it, and the van runs perfectly. Napleton has refused to work with me in terms of reimbursement, so I’m out thousand due to their lousy work. Original: This place is a nightmare. I brought my car in because I had trouble getting it to start. I had an appointment for Tuesday at 9:30am. They didn't even start looking at it until Thursday. They told me they couldn't replicate the problem, but it was likely the fuel pump, and recommended it replaced. I asked if they were sure it was the fuel pump and not electrical, they said absolutely, so I okayed the $1800 repair. They told me to come pick it up, and literally as soon as I got it home, it wouldn't start again. I made another appointment, dropped it off on Tuesday. I showed them video and sent it to them via email of the problem. They didn't look at it until Thursday, and said they couldn't replicate the problem. This is where it gets fun. I asked them then if they'd buy it. They transferred me to sales, who said when they plugged it in, so many problems showed up that it would be too expensive to repair and sell, so the best they could do was offer me $1,000 and sell it at auction. Remember, the service department told me no codes were popping up and it was fine. At that point, the red flags were just waving around, so I said I would just pick the vehicle up. I drove it right to another shop. I emailed the dealer explaining the above and asking for a refund. Brian Hessler called me back and said I needed to bring it in for a third time. When I said I was uncomfortable because of the many reasons listed above, he said there was nothing he could do for me reimbursement wise since there's no proof of a problem. My husband and I were actually on the lot looking at a Dodge Challenger they had for sale, but now there is no way I'd ever do business with this dealer again. More
