I bought a car that they did the minimum service on. I knew that the AC needed charging and didn't mind if it was added to the price of the car. They didn't even try to fix the problem or offer to servi I knew that the AC needed charging and didn't mind if it was added to the price of the car. They didn't even try to fix the problem or offer to service it. I'm a 65 year old disabled man with a heart condition and AC in Georgia is a necessity. The front tires have punctures on the sides and they didn't say if they checked the coolant. I have bought a car from John Thornton before so this is why I came back....... big mistake. No even contacted me from my calls to get service that I am willing to pay for. I know the car was bought"as is" but I expected better from John Thornton. I can't recommend anyone to purchase from John Thornton because I'm not satisfied with my purchase and no one seems to care. The name is Vance Thomas and I'm at 5997@comcast.net or 404 933 6560......... I'll be waiting and waiting and waiting and............ waiting. More

Unprofessional, unorganized, dishonesty, awful communication and more. We purchased a camaro from them and it was delivered but the oil was not changed yet the oil life was reset. Also after the s communication and more. We purchased a camaro from them and it was delivered but the oil was not changed yet the oil life was reset. Also after the sell, Tyler communication nearly ceased when addressed about the follow up status on the reimbursement check sent out via USPS regular mail that ended up being lost yet the dealership saw more urgency in sending out two documents for signatures that they forgot about they sent it ups overnight. The service department reset the engine oil life on an almost $50,000 Camaro and did not perform the actual oil change service that's not good at all it's very untrustworthy thing to do and shows how much they actually care about a customer post sell for things they neglected. They could have easily gotten away with the wrongdoing if we didn't know about it but we are a family with many Chevy including previous Camaros. They should have sent the check overnight just the same as they did the other documents but it shows their true colors. There will be reviews and a video warning other potential customers to simply beware of this. That is unacceptable to reset oil life and not actually do the service on someone's almost $50,000 vehicle or even if it was a $2,000 vehicle, don't reset oil life without changing the fluids just to try to save time and money when they still were caught up in this situation. It's not right. So we are still awaiting the reissue of the check which should be even more than the $139 reimbursement just for the inconvenience and awaiting for a small minor piece that was missing from over the strut which has no reason to have been missing from a car with only 1k miles at the time. Mr. Derrick Strickland and Mr. Tyler were our points of contact and things changed after they received our money and delivered the car. Will not be letting my Corvette and Camaro and Silverado loving friends do business here as I previously thought I would. Was even planning to buy another vehicle from them but after what they did to us, we will not be recommending them. Losing documents on a remote deal and needing more documents signed two weeks after the deal was done and bank check was cashed is ridiculous. Then to have Tyler tell me if a $5 dust cover for strut tower will keep them from getting a negative review they will do it is unacceptable when u should be motivated to get the part because it's the right thing to do. The biggest problem is resetting engine oil life and not performing the work makes us wander how many times this dealership has done this which is why we are going to share this info on social media because nobody deserves to have this happen to them especially how expensive things are these days.

Whole experience was great and I was in and out in 30 minutes. Derek, Cody, and Tyler made sure everything was done before I arrived as I was coming in after work all the way from Alpharetta. My Honda minutes. Derek, Cody, and Tyler made sure everything was done before I arrived as I was coming in after work all the way from Alpharetta. My Honda was giving me troubles and they couldn't resolve them, so I decided to join the Chevrolet family. Thank you for the easy process and I'll be back!!! More
