We are very sorry that you have had such poor experiences with our service department. We would really like to opportunity to see if there is anything we can do to help turn things around. Would it help to have our service director reach out to discuss further? He can answer any lingering questions or concerns you may have. If you would like him to contact you, please just respond to this review with what phone number and time/day works for you, and I will make sure you are contacted. Thank you for the feedback, and I hope we have the chance to speak with you to address your concerns. Have a great holiday.

Thx but no thanks it shouldn't happen in the the first place. In 2009 had a real bad experiance they recomand changing the fuel injectors because the engien light was on. And this didnt worked out had my truck there for a week paid money for nothing. The real problem was there diagnostic was totally of. Found out if they would ran the smoke test they havent, they would found out it was the fuel pump. Insted they sold me fuel injectors for 100reds of dollars. How soemthing like that happen in a dealership. An independent repairshop did the smoke test and replaced the fuel pump. I trusted you guys diagnostic, but it was just lip service. Why i came back was to purchase a truck thats all. Even this after all them years turned into an issiue. They installed a bed liner chupped up with out meaushering the fold over lip on the backwindow has a gab on one side of 1.5". They reinstalled the hardcover back, after the first rain my bad was flooded ruined my tools worse $750. They try to fix it again they had no clue. Had the hardcover from another company re installed now just a little water which is normal. When i ask how about my tools was told take it up with insurence. What an insult. Im in customer service for 47 years havent seen anything like that. The part department is awsome no doubt. The rest all i had was discerisfaction.

Scranton was quick to diagnose and fix my car. They were able to get my car in sooner than another other auto body shop in town. The car was even done sooner than the original appointment! More
