Ferman Chevrolet - Tampa in Brandon and Ferman Collision Centers (they blocked me to remove their tag) please tell me what is going on with my truck. It was dropped off at the Collision Center on July 11th Centers (they blocked me to remove their tag) please tell me what is going on with my truck. It was dropped off at the Collision Center on July 11th 2024 for a job I was told would take 1.5-2 months. The truck has gone back and forth between the Collision Center and the dealership for mechanical work. Communication is horrible at best. I can't get a straight answer from anyone as to when my truck will be done or where it stands. The new bed showed up at the end of July and then the day after Christmas I get an email stating the wrong bed was put on my truck. I was told by the Collision manager that the correct bed was there Jan 17th and truck would hopefully be ready by the 24th. Service writer then tells me on the 21st my bed was delivered and they were checking it in. So which is it? I had to call today about 12 times to finally get to talk to someone about my truck. I was told my truck was with the mechanic to make sure nothing else was needed after the bed was completed. I was also told they were going to get started prepping the bed... It's been there over a week and nothing has been done??? They said give them another week and a half and hopefully it will be done. Also, I've tracked my truck all month via the Chevrolet app and it has not moved from the parking lot on Crater Lane. Ferman likes to post all the good reviews they get, let's see you share this one. We are quickly coming up on 7 months that you've had my truck. 7 MONTHS. That's 7 months of making payments, making insurance payments, making Onstar payments, all for a truck I can't even see.....xxx are we doing? I've reached out to WFLA Shannon Behnken to hopefully make this known to the public. This is getting ridiculous. GM Customer Service is proving to be about as helpful as an ice scraper in Miami. I would not recommend this place at all. More

Another garbage Chevy dealership, this time, they refused work on the Chevy Truck, because it was worked on by another dealer within the last 2 months. They are unwilling to fix it , and its under warranty. work on the Chevy Truck, because it was worked on by another dealer within the last 2 months. They are unwilling to fix it , and its under warranty. Never had this problem with other car makers, Ford, BMW, Audi, Toyota, Honda, all had no problems working on vehicles under warranty, even if it was touched by another Chevy dealer. They basically wasted my time, and refused to fix it. Their answer below this post only assures you that you will be lead down a dustry trail of tears with them. Their answer was for me to pay for the repairs, not the dealership, they aren't willing to rectify this situation. They will make you take your car elsewhere and refuse the warranty work working it out with the dealership themselves. It also goes to show you that Chevy won't standby their product and they will pass the buck the minute they have to work on it either from other CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALERS. Dealers should have to work with Chevy and not the customer to Negotiate warranty claims . Jeep doesnt do this, BMW doesnt do this, Audi doesnt do this, Toyota doesn't do this, I can go on. So before you buy a Chevy, understand that they will make you take it back to the original dealer where it was worked on, tell you to call their Customer Service (who is very rude and echos the same unprofessional behavior) and then tell you that even if you were out of state, that you are SOL on that and you would need to go to the original DEALER lol . They are out of their minds, both the Dealers and the CHEVY in general. So think about this before you buy another Chevy from not only this dealer but in general from GM. More

Ferman Chevrolet Poor Customer Service, First and Last Visit....Our appontment was for 0930. Arrived at 925. Informed the individual that I had a service appointment at 0930 and my representative was Gato Visit....Our appontment was for 0930. Arrived at 925. Informed the individual that I had a service appointment at 0930 and my representative was Gator. We were informed that Gator was out and Francheso would assist us. We at in the car waiting for Franchesco. Sat there and sat there. Someone would stop by momentarily and stated they were getting someone to help us. Other representatives were attending to other customers but no one would sign us in. No one would log in the car for service. All the cars went around us. Talked to the Service Manager, Brian. He seemed not to care. We waited over 20 minutes to be logged in for our appt. In the meantime we were behind cars that arrived after us. Once the service rep Mike came to talk to us...we were told it would be a 3 hour wait. Unacceptable. Numerous cars went ahead of us...because no one wanted to fill in for GATOR...This should not be their first rodeo of filling in for a service rep. Poor Customer Service...NOT going back...First and Last visit. Ferman Chevrolet is the Worst! More
