Great service, great people and the only thing I'll add is your best bet is to be ready to leave your vehicle with them. Times are thin with people working in the garages everywhere, but they get it handle is your best bet is to be ready to leave your vehicle with them. Times are thin with people working in the garages everywhere, but they get it handled. I was able to leave my vehicle with them, and they were supportive of having it their for a few days until I could retrieve, and for that I am grateful. A+ to their team managing it all right now.

Disappointing Service Experience at Southern GMC I had a very frustrating experience with Southern GMC’s service department. From the start, communication was lacking. I was contacted by the Service repre a very frustrating experience with Southern GMC’s service department. From the start, communication was lacking. I was contacted by the Service representative a month prior to my appointment that the parts for the recall on my pickup were in and I could come up to have them installed. I made the appointment at the time with the Service rep a month out because I live over 2 hours away and I would be staying in a hotel in the area overnight in order to make my appointment in the early morning. On the morning of the appointment I brought my vehicle in expecting the recall update and 2 other services I included in my appointment when I booked with the representative, I ended up waiting far longer than anticipated with no updates from the staff. My appointment was at 9:00. I attempted to follow up multiple times just to get an update about the status of my vehicle and no one answer the phone or return my messages. I finally had to take an Uber across town to the dealership and at 4:00pm I found that my vehicle had not been serviced. To make matters worse, I was told that the parts needed for the repair were not even in stock. Which I was told over a month ago that they had the part for my specifically which was the reason I made the appointment in the first place. This resulted in even more delays, and no one reached out to let me know what was going on—I was left completely in the dark. Overall, the long wait times, poor communication, and lack of preparation made this a disappointing and stressful experience. I expected a much higher level of professionalism and customer care from a dealership service center. I traveled from a far distance when I purchased my truck from this dealership 3 years ago. It is disappointing and unacceptable. More

Service Advisor looks overwhelmed and cannot handle his duties. He has an extreme lack of customer service, is dismissive and does not value the customer. He completely ignored me while busy typing at the duties. He has an extreme lack of customer service, is dismissive and does not value the customer.
