Purchased a used 2011 GMC Acadia SLT2, went to pick it up six days after trying it out and making down payment (they said that was the soonest they could have it ready- they were going to put new brakes and six days after trying it out and making down payment (they said that was the soonest they could have it ready- they were going to put new brakes and tires on it). When we arrived to sign documents we were told the vehicle was in having the brakes and tires put on so couldn't see it while waiting. We were taken in over an hour after our scheduled time to sign the paperwork and by the time we finished, they were closed. We were kind of rushed to change our things over from our old car and it was almost dark so we didn't get to look the vehicle over at all. We get on the highway to go home (about an hour away) and hear a horrible noise and the vehicle has a vibration. We pull over once we get off the highway at a gas station where we have light and see that the front mud flap is broke and just hanging on one side. The next morning in better light (vehicle is black) I see a dent in the trim that runs along the bottom of front fender (same side as broken mud flap) and a gouge in the paint as well as some other scratches. Obviously, something had happened to cause this damage to the front end but nobody seemed to know what. I also now feel they knew and that is the reason we were not shown the vehicle while waiting over an hour to sign paperwork. The vehicle had not been detailed (only vacuumed), there was dust and dirt over entire interior, and the windows had streaks and prints all over them. They took the vehicle back the next week fixed the dent, the paint and the mud flap but the vibration remained. Long story short, the vehicle goes back a total of five times, they change a couple wheels, front hub, u-joint (rear drive shaft) and one tire but the vehicle still had a vibration/shake. They tell me it's the low profile tires and I am feeling the road surface. I do understand that with low profile tires you do feel the road and I do know when I am feeling road surface. I did get another call stating they would like for Bob to go for a ride with me and see if we can get it resolved. I drove back to Westbrook (sixth time vehicle has gone back), we took a drive in my car (he drove since I feel it most in the driver's seat), said he didn't feel anything that didn't seem normal. I then drove a 2014 Acadia with similar tires and though I did feel a slight vibration at higher speeds I still feel that it isn't the same type of jumping/shake that I feel in my car. I felt the vibration in the new vehicle was an even, all over type whereas, I don't feel that way in my car. I feel that mine is somethign to do with a front tire (not necessarily the tire itself but something that moves it). I have had other's drive my vehicle (some who have low profile tires) and all agree with me, it doesn't seem normal. I will say the vibration is not nearly as bad as it originally was but though they say they don't feel anything out the ordinary for and AWD with low profile tires, I still feel that something isn't as it should be. I have agreed to drive it for a while and see how things go (what else am I going to do?) but still am not happy with the way the vehicle rides at highway speed. I can't imagine anyone would like feeling a vibration or feeling like your front tire is shaking so I don't know if all who own an Acadia with 20" tires just deal with this if it is normal. I have kind of received different stories from service manager, mechanic that worked on it and Bob as to what was actually changed and what was wrong. I will say that Nick, Eric and Bob have all been very nice overall and I agree they have tried but I still feel that at some point it will be found that something that was not as it should be. It has been alot of frustration, time off work and trips back and forth and I just wish I could fully enjot the vehicle. The last note, if you have any doubt that you might not want your extended warranty, don't buy, because that was a lot of frustration, unreturned calls and emails to Damien that took over two months to finally get it cancelled. I am told that if something goes wrong they will fix it. More

July 26 2013 The Service Deptment at Bill Dodge Used Auto group Checked out My 2000 Beige Buick LeSabre That I purchased on July 13 2013 at Bill Dodge. After My Mechanic looked over the Vehical He questioned group Checked out My 2000 Beige Buick LeSabre That I purchased on July 13 2013 at Bill Dodge. After My Mechanic looked over the Vehical He questioned a couple Items he found ie leaking valve cover and worn tie rod. He stated that the valve cover leak could cause a Fire and I should bring the car back to Bill Dodge and have it repaired. He also stated that for those reasons the car should not have had Passed a State Inspection.On July 24 2013 I contacted the service deptment and after some back and forth discussion they set me up with a July 26 2013 appoinment. I Met with Bob Murphy he took the car in and after awhile came out and told me that the tie rod end was okay and the front end was soild. They could not duplicate the engine mmiss fire cylinder 3 but did see the P0300 #3 miss fire code also they saw no valve cover oil leak. So I explained that my mechanic show me and it was located between the firewall and the engine. When Bob returned he located some weaping but not a oil LEAK at the valve cover. further Bob stated that cars 2 years old and newer have oil leaks. also stated they did not want to tighten the valve covers cause it could make the LEAK worse. I questioned hime and tried to get him to be proactive that the Leak would only get worse and feared an engine fire Bob said he would talk with the Sales Manager for a fianal decision. Bob also stated that if the Average Customer were to come in off the road and wanted the valve covers gasket replaced. that he would talk the customer out of doing the $245.00 repair cause it just is not worth it. I told Bob That I am concerned about a enging fire on my WIFES car the 30 day Warrenty should apply I should not have to bring the car back under the extended service plan which I bought and have to fork out more money especially when the ITEMS should have kept the Vehical from recieving STATE INSPECTIONS STICKERS in the first place.. and I did not consider myself an Average Customer just off the street . I Had BOUGHT 2 Buicks LeSabre here on July 13 2013 CASH and I did not beat anybody up on the price when I bought them and would hope they would do the right thing and do the REPAIRS. My Last hope was the sales MANAGER of the DAY who I did not met and there was no attempt by him to come out and talk with me at all. OUR GREATEST RECOGNITION IS YOUR SATISACTION !!! are you sure about that. So it only gets better from here I also had brought the other Buick in because of Items that my Mechanic found that should have kept that car from having a STicker to. But I will do another Dealer Review on 2005 Buick LeSabre More

I was very pleasantly surprised with the way he approached my needs ( I told him I am just checking things out, so he new i am not buying at this time).

Car shopping had been such a stressful experience for us, pushy salesmen with no knowledge of the vehicles they were selling, and customer service seemed non-existent. We stopped in late on a Friday evening pushy salesmen with no knowledge of the vehicles they were selling, and customer service seemed non-existent. We stopped in late on a Friday evening at the Bill Dodge Nissan dealership in Saco, looking for a Murano. What a difference! Everyone there was very friendly and pleasant to work with. They didn't try to put us in a vehicle we didn't want, they were knowledgeable, and customer satisfaction seemed to be their priority. We left there that night with a beautiful 2010 Murano, and with a great experience! Thank you Josh, Derek, Dave, and Joe! You all were wonderful to deal with, and we appreciate all you did for us. We will definitely be returning customers, and will refer all our family and friends. More

Went to the BMW new car owners night. Set up to answer questions and learn more about the vehicle. It was a great informal gathering of like minded people who enjoy their ultimate driving cars. The Meat H questions and learn more about the vehicle. It was a great informal gathering of like minded people who enjoy their ultimate driving cars. The Meat House provided outdoor barbecue of steak, pulled pork and chicken and sides and of so tasty. A raffle with great gifts was done and than we went into the shop to get time with the technicians and get to see our car from a different perspective. Found this informative and we have the Bill Dodge version of Click and Clack! Would definitely come to another event like this. More

I am writing to let you know that the experience I had while visiting the Pleasant Street Dealership was amazing! The people in your organization are very well trained and have great attitudes, and it sho while visiting the Pleasant Street Dealership was amazing! The people in your organization are very well trained and have great attitudes, and it shows in their performance. We have been buying from Bill Dodge Auto for years and would not even think of going elsewhere. Eventhough I owned an infinity I was able to get it serviced at the Bill Dodge Dealership on Pleasant Street. Carl Leiter, Pete and the others in the Service Department are very good at what they do and I would highly recommend them for servicing your vehicle. I traded my Infinity for a Kia Sorrento (used), however, it is in very good shape and I enjoy it. I really cannot say enough about the Bill Dodge Auto Group and the employees who work for them. They make buying a vehicle a good experience! Thank You for being there for us!!! More
