Extremely slow service dept They gave me a 09:15 am appt. I arrived before 9. They told me it would be about 2 hours to fix the airbag recall. Well they finally fixed it 5 and a They gave me a 09:15 am appt. I arrived before 9. They told me it would be about 2 hours to fix the airbag recall. Well they finally fixed it 5 and a half hours later. What good is an appt? Also everytime I asked how much longer I was told " should just be a little longer" Place is way too slow and won't give you a straight answer or apologize. More
Released recalled death trap onto road...TWICE! Jeep stopped in traffic full loss of power. Towed to wonderful Five Star Auto who diagnosed for free and said loss of communication system only Jee Jeep stopped in traffic full loss of power. Towed to wonderful Five Star Auto who diagnosed for free and said loss of communication system only Jeep can fully diagnose and fix. Towed into AutoNation. After a 5 day wait I had to call in to Jeep myself only to be told it was a loose battery cable and was ready to go. Despite informing them that was impossible, had personally checked cables, Five Star Auto also, technician Dave Larrabee insisted battery cable. Also despite my telling him the car never lost battery power through lights radio Windows console readout and displayed an error message about shifting to park that if you Google it is common in 2014-15 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Easy to find issue. Still insisted battery cable. Picked up car. Made it two blocks down the road. Car lost power again while driving. Nearly caused accident in front of dealership. Management did show good impression of being concerned and offered loaner car. Discovered on my own this Jeep had recall that service technician had failed to bring up. Called to inform recall match car failure exactly. Recall was for transaxle wiring repair. Recall stated loss of motility power while driving. Read out error will show shift to park. Identical to issue my car was experiencing. Called Dave Larrabee and went into dealer in person with recall notice in hand. Left after very condescending experience. Informed him recall notice said should dealer refuse replacement for any reason contact National Auto Safety Hotline in mediately as this defect can cause a crash. He said he would have to talk to his boss. To discuss a federal recall mandatory repair? Called several days later and was informed car was simply low on oil?! Low on oil does not cause car to come to screeching halt while driving. Nor explains readout error on dash. And regardless recall repair is Federal mandate so even if this experienced service technician actually thinks a car will stop dead in its tracks from being low on oil, recall is still in place and he failed to repair. Wants to put me back in a vehicle that is federally mandated as unsafe to drive. And not that it matters, but latest Jiffy Lube was early December on nearly new 2014 vehicle. Low on oil not likely, doesn't cause that kind of vehicle behavior nor does loose battery cable! And recall is mandatory so no place for debate. This driver's safety on the road as well as the safety of all those who encounter my unrepaired car apparently of no interest two service technician Dave Larrabee. Only reason for posting this review is I'm having a hard time going over his head and Jeep at least seems to care about publicly poor reviews. If not death traps being released to drivers in federally mandated undriveable condition, but hey at least the oil's topped off a little. One last item. Despite a letter showing dealer responsibility for all costs, Dave Larrabee also refused reimbursement for $170 diagnostic once recall was discovered. Letter states plain as day if dealer refuses to cover costs please contact immediately. Showed it to Dave. His response was, "well how am I supposed to cover the cost of my diagnostic?" Take it up with Jeep Dave. When the company you work for itself issues correspondence saying repairs are covered, the technician doesn't revoke coverage. Summary. Important safety recall describes exact error experienced in car. Loss of motility power. Read out shift to park. Technician insists it is loose battery cable then low oil causing car to come to screeching halt? Refuses recall repair or recall repair cost coverage issued by Jeep. Sends deathtrap back onto road unless management gets involved. Anyone concerned? Perhaps just waiting for the future lawsuit after double negligence causes fatal accident? Or we could back up and do this the right way, repair the recalled malfunctioning systems, cover the cost as Jeep and the federal government require and show a little concern for Jeep drivers and anyone near them staying alive.

Service department representative was great! My experience was good, the quality of services was excellent and my representative was very helpful. I had purchased a 2016 Challenger Scat Pack an My experience was good, the quality of services was excellent and my representative was very helpful. I had purchased a 2016 Challenger Scat Pack and required it's first oil change and service. I notified them I was concerned about the brakes making noise during lightly applied braking. They looked at them and after some discussion decided to replace them. I now have a quiet braking new car and am pleased with my purchase and service experience. More
Poor Customer Service I had taken my car in for service at AutoNation Dodge-Jeep on July 18th 2016 because the engine would not turn OFF, I drove the car into the service a I had taken my car in for service at AutoNation Dodge-Jeep on July 18th 2016 because the engine would not turn OFF, I drove the car into the service area and the car was written up by the service advisor Toby on that morning, I was called later that day by the service advisor Toby and was told they could not recreate the problem and they just flashed the ECU "Software Update" and maybe that would have fixed it. I took the car that evening and the next day the same problem happened again so I drove back to the same dealer and a different service advisor took my car in and said he would inform Toby that the car was back in doing the same thing, I was able to demonstrate the "NO Shutdown" problem to both service advisors on both days. This second time I brought the car in for this problem the service advisor Toby had called the FCA Star Care engineers to help troubleshoot this problem because the mechanics at the dealership could not find the solution. After 15 days in their shop waiting for approval for repair authorization, I was told by a case manager from FCA that was assigned to my case, that they cannot recreate the problem and so they could not run any further diagnosis so they told me to pick up the car and bring it back again the next time I could not turn the car OFF. After a few days I was sent a survey from FCA asking about my repair experience, I filled this out honestly and fairly based on my experience. About a month after this my car failed to turn OFF again, this time it was a Sunday and the dealer was not open so the car ran 9 hours idle until it ran out of gas. The next day I had the car towed back to AutoNation Dodge-Jeep and spoke to Toby the service advisor and he said to me "I do not know what I can do for you!?" "I worked 5 hours last time with FCA corporate for you and you gave me a 6 out of 10 on the review!!" "I lost $600.00 because of that review so I am NOT going to take your car in, I am not going to write you up!" I was directed to the Service manager Brian Morrow. More
We bought a new 2007 Caliber there in 2006. We bought a 6 year warranty and all this extra care stuff that they will do for free. I brought the car in to the service dept in 2008 to have the $4,000 rims and year warranty and all this extra care stuff that they will do for free. I brought the car in to the service dept in 2008 to have the $4,000 rims and tires that we bought with the car for a balance and rotate. I waited for about 2 hours and then someone came out and said they bent the front driver side rim and that they had to order a new one. Come to find out, they discontinued our rims, so they said that there was 1 car left on the lot with our exact rims. So, I waited another 2 hours and finally someone comes out and says that they sold the car on the the lot and now we will have to order 4 new rims. They said they would pay for the rims, so I was cool with what happened, except for the fact that I had waited for 4 hours. So, a week goes by and they finally replaced the rims on the car. When we got the car, it pulled to the left and the steering wheel began to shake as soon as I hit 60 mphs. I took it back and they said nothing was wrong with it. After a couple days, I call back pissed asking to speak with my service rep, and he didn't work there anymore and no one knew anything about my car. I tell them to check the computer, and all that is written is that they replaced the rims! So, I just drop it cause it is getting me nowhere. Today, I take it in to have my free oil change and I ask them to balance and rotate the tires, and check the transmission because it was shifting a bit weird. The rep says "ok that will be $150!!!! I was done! I told him to just give me my damn free oil change! DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE!!!! More
I bought my first two Chryler 300's (2000, 2006) from this dealership and have always been very pleased. Because I wanted a blue car this year and another dealership actually had the perfect car in stoc this dealership and have always been very pleased. Because I wanted a blue car this year and another dealership actually had the perfect car in stock I went with the other dealer. WHAT A MISTAKE. I had a safety recall(brakes) and attempted to get an appointment with the other dealer. The first three times I called I was left on hold and I hung up. The forth time somebody offered to take a message and have my call returned. The call was not returned for five hours and by that time I had left to go shopping. My husband gave me a number to call back but that just got me another offer to leave a message. The next day again started out with me being put on hold. So, I called Roseville Autowest. The phone was answered immediately. She asked if I had a day I preferred and when I gave her two, she offered me an appointment for either day at the time I had specified. When I was finished I realized I have always had this great service from Autowest Roseville -- I just didn't know until now how great that experience was. I actually drove the car an extra three days with that Recall because I did not want to face calling the first dealer again. The people at Autowest Roseville completely turned a sour experience around. Guess I'll stop thinking about how pretty the Lexus is. More
Rick put my faith back into dealership service. He went above and beyond the call to assist me with getting the required services done and advising me on future services so that I could budget the cost. He above and beyond the call to assist me with getting the required services done and advising me on future services so that I could budget the cost. He arranged transportation for me and basically treated me like family. In the past, I have always disdained the poor customer service provided by other dealerships (Folsom, are you listening???). However, I will now go out of my way to tell many of the positive and pleasant experience I had with AutoWest Chrysler and, especially Rick's customer service skills. He sets the standard that all service advisers should be held accountable to meet. The service was completed when promised, done as promised and I have had no issues with the vehicle. This speaks volumes about the mechanics and their commitment to doing the job right the first time. Thanks to the management for ensuring they only hire the best people to work at AutoWest Chrysler Jeep! More
I pulled in to the dealership to have a bumper replaced or so I thought. Tobey looked at it for a second and got underneath the front bumper and took a look. When he got up I got the best news I had heard or so I thought. Tobey looked at it for a second and got underneath the front bumper and took a look. When he got up I got the best news I had heard in a month of Sundays - No new bumper necessary!!! He said they could fix the bumper like new and just repaint it for me. I picked up the car late the next day and I couldn't be more happy, it looked like the day I drove it off the dealership!!!! More
I took my Dodge Ram pickup to this dealership to have a transmission problem diagnosed, the trucks computer had generated an engine code of P0740, which has to do with the torque converter no engaging prop transmission problem diagnosed, the trucks computer had generated an engine code of P0740, which has to do with the torque converter no engaging properly. I am a pretty decent mechanic but admittedly know very little about transmissions. When you arrive at the dealership you'll immediately wonder why it took you so long to get someone on the phone to make the appointment as there are no less than 4 service writers sitting in a room. As soon as I walked in I felt like I was being surrounded by four very hungry sales people. Nonetheless, I dropped the truck off for the $99.00 diagnostics. The next day the dealership called and said they had determined that the truck would require a new Torque Converter, New Pump, seals and shaft and that the Differential Fluids were bad as well as the transfer case fluid.....Total cost was just shy of $4,000.00. They somehow figured all this out by doing an electronic examination only. The truth of the matter is that they could not determine what was actually wrong unless they dropped the transmission (strike 1). The service writer said that the front and rear differentials needed servicing which was completely bogus as I had just serviced them myself (Strike 2). The service writer also said the transfer case needed servicing and the transmission fluid was very dirty and I had just flushed those as well (strike 3). The service writer then tried to go even further and suggested that I consider a complete transmission rebuild, about $5,000.00 worth. They made all these assessments without ever dropping the transmission pan....Unbelievable. So, I went to a reputable ASE certified mechanic. I paid the money to have him drop the transmission and evaluate the different components. The Torque Converter was shot but the Pump, seals, shaft, transfer case fluid and both differentials checked out great. I still spent $1,400.00 but that's a far cry from $4,000.00 and my truck is running great. If you go to this dealership and feel like your service writer is being pushy and / or it seems like the quote for services is high.....IT PROBABLY IS. These guys are just selling up and up and up and I ain't buying and neither should you. I spoke to the service manager about this and my experience. Like I said, I'm pretty knowledgeable and I didn't get taken by these shysters but if someone were to go there that didn't have as much experience you could have a very bad experience. I looked at my experience in this way....I knew I needed some work to get done on my truck and I figured it wouldn't be cheap. By going to this terrible dealership first and getting the outrageously high and totally bogus quote, I felt much better when I went to a real mechanic and got the work done for 1/3 the cost. It was worth the $99.00 just to make myself feel better....if that makes sense. Don't go to this dealer...I'm sure there are others out there which would do much better for you. More
