Stay Clear of this dealership. Do not give them your hard earned money. They do not honor their warranties and the service center is just as bad. They literally installed parts inc More

Mr. Fernandez, you have purchased two (2) trucks from our dealership withing the past 18 months and your business is appreciated. There are many dealerships you can choose to give your business to and we are grateful you continue to choose our dealership especially due to your proximity to our store. On your purchase of the Ram 3500 Longhorn in October 2023, we agreed to pay for your first oil change if you were willing to make the trip back to Lake Wales, FL from Miami, FL (over 3+ hour trip). When you returned for service in March 2024, your Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) system needed a repair due to object that was hit while driving. The total cost of that repair was $462.05 which you paid for. On the same visit, we also completed a Warranty Safety Recall D5A for a Malfunctioning SCCM Expansion. This was completed under warranty and your rental vehicle you were provided was also covered under the warranty due to the recall. While we had every intention of completing your complimentary oil change during that visit, the oil change was never completed during your March 2024 service. During your most recent service on your truck in June 2024, we were able to perform your complimentary oil change as promised when you purchased the truck. We also performed a Warranty repair on the Break Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system. The rental vehicle you were provided was covered under the warranty while the repair was being performed. On Tuesday 6/25/2024 at approximately 1PM, we called to notify you your truck was complete and ready for pickup. You told us you would like to keep the rental car until Friday 6/28/2024 due to your schedule. We absolutely can accommodate your request, but the rental would no longer be covered by the warranty since the repair was complete, and the additional rental days would need to be paid for out of pocket. You then told us you would be able to return the rental by Wednesday 6/26/2024 at 9am and we agreed that if the vehicle was returned by that time that no additional rental charges would be incurred.

We are sorry we could not satisfy you. According to our records: Customer came in looking for pre owned gr Cherokee. They bought one that was traded the night before (hadn’t been cleaned or inspected). Gave them a FREE LOANER car to drive while we prepped the Grand Cherokee. The picked up grand Cherokee a couple days later and wanted to install Leather Seats in the vehicle. We arranged it with the vendor and provided another FREE LOANER car to them while the seats were installed. We had to delay transferring plates due to the trade being so fresh, previously liens/titlework had to be finalized before we could finalize their tag work. We informed them that no spare key was turned in but we would try and reach out to the previous owner to see if there was one. Also offered to have our vendor cut a key for them at a discounted rate from our shop. The loaner cars were front line ready vehicles and were not in poor condition at all. Customer lives on a dirt road and possibly picked up some road debris which caused a flat tire. Keeping the license plate at the dealership was a mistake because there was no reason for us to keep it. When they picked up their car after the leather install the tag was installed and registration was provided.

Obviously, the dealership is still not willing to take responsibility. The “free loaners” are absolutely in poor condition. Living on a dirt road does not cause the windshield wipers or the brake lights to malfunction -which both were broken in the first loaner. The low tire pressure light came on in the second loaner before I was even half a mile away from the dealership. I turned around and brought the car back to the dealership, in an effort to prevent being in a dangerous situation driving or replacing the tire on the side of the road, and was told by the dealership that it was a problem with the sensor and I should not expect the sensor to ever turn off. The tires had not touched the dirt road I live on at that time. There was obviously a problem with the tire already when they sent me away from the dealership.
