This is the worst dealer service experience I have ever had. We asked to have a sun roof leak fixed and a tune up and an estimate for shocks and struts. We were told about $300. The next day they called had. We asked to have a sun roof leak fixed and a tune up and an estimate for shocks and struts. We were told about $300. The next day they called my husband and said they could fix my car for $3,200 because it needed all kinds of work. Now, the car is 7 years old and is probably only worth 6K. They offered to "knock off 1,200." Still a joke. Ends up we received what we originally asked for and still paid $500. I went to pick up my car after hours. When I started it up, the automatic headlights would not turn on, there was a "check gauges" warning on on the heads-up display, the brake light was on when the brake was not engaged, and the something-is-behind-you alarm kept bonging even though I had the car in drive (not reverse). I had to turn it off and on a few times, remove the key and re-insert it, and it finally acted normal again. That's fine, but didn't anyone test this stuff out before putting it outside to pick up? I will never go back to this dealer for anything ever again. More
The service manager (Dan) is very dishonest. He treats people in a demeaning way. He flat out lied to my face and got caught. He talks about things he obviously knows nothing about and then treats you a people in a demeaning way. He flat out lied to my face and got caught. He talks about things he obviously knows nothing about and then treats you as if you are a problem customer for asking simple questions. He gets irritated, defensive and treats the customer very poorly even raising his voice. When I asked who he reported to (after lying) he changed his attitude and became accommodating as if he didn't want anyone calling him out. In a two month period we had to have the vehicle - 2010 Acadia with 50 some thousand miles in for multiple issues - trans line, air conditioning, water pump, whole front steering gear, brake booster, missing wiper part. Thousands of dollars in service work. We honestly believe some of this is dealer caused however as he stated "think what you want" (cant prove it) and "this is wearing thin". There was no water pump issue, brake issue or missing wiper part when we brought it in however literally when we picked it up there was. In fact coolant was pouring on the floor of the service area when we picked it up - never had a problem with cooling system before - he said they filled it up and now the entire pump needs replacing. Their multipoint inspection on the service work order - oil didn't even register on the dipstick. His response to the issues was that GM was picking up most of the cost and he was doing us a favor by asking GM to help - we should be happy with that - poor GM. Type person that leaves you feeling like you need a shower after dealing with him. You will get even more than the stereotypical dealership service with this service manager. More
After not having great luck elsewhere, I was welcomed at the door and with a salesman in two seconds. I was treated with a level of courtesy, professionalism and respect I hadn't encounted in many years, i the door and with a salesman in two seconds. I was treated with a level of courtesy, professionalism and respect I hadn't encounted in many years, if ever, while buying a car. I'd gone on several websites to see the trade-in value of my car. For the very first time (of nearly 30 years of buying new cars), I got within the range (lower end, but within) that the "experts" say I should get--no hemming and hawing about mileage or flaws like they normally do to excuse the fact that they're offering half of what you know the trade-in value is and trying to make you feel grateful for that. I also went on-line to see what I should be charged if the salesman was charging (in correlation with the invoice price) what he said. This was the amount I was charged--no surprises, no hard sell for insurance and warranties I didn't want to buy. For the first time in my life, I've walked away certain that I was treated with 100% honesty and that there was no dithering on pricing--and that was with taking exactly what they offered without bargaining. The delivery was great too. Steve ensured that everything (from the first moment on) went smoothly, pleasantly, honorably and that I drove away knowing what I was doing with all this new technology I was surrounded by. More
Tom was a pleasure to work with, went out of his way to get the car I wanted. Dealt with Al in the body shop many times, one of the few guys in the industry that will tell it like it is and truly go out of get the car I wanted. Dealt with Al in the body shop many times, one of the few guys in the industry that will tell it like it is and truly go out of his way to make sure you're satisfied. Buy with confidence, in my opinion, the other poor ratings are simply from naive people who are looking for scapegoats for unrelated problems. More
I baught a new Regal Turbo had it for 3 weeks and was not impressed with the vehicle. I tried for a WEEK to contact my salesman , with no call EVER returned. After finally getting in touch with him we made p impressed with the vehicle. I tried for a WEEK to contact my salesman , with no call EVER returned. After finally getting in touch with him we made plans for me to come in and work something out I was planning on purchasing a new Lacross which is more expensive than the Regal. I expected to lose a few thousand dollars because of the miles I had put on, 2000 miles. But instead I sat and watched as my salesman try to convince me that in 3 weeks and 2000 miles resulted in a loss of $7000 dollars which long behold was the money I put down on the vehicle surprise surprise. I was totally shocked and needless to say walked out. If all American Dealerships are like this company they them selves will have destroyed the U.S. Automakers. I now know why so many people are going to Japanese carmakers because when you spend 30k on a car and your salesman can not even call you back that's a problem. It's not only about the sale its about taking care of your client after the sale to! Then to top this whole thing off I asked him to look up the price to extend my bumper to bumper which would be once again more money but I'm still waiting on a price its been over a week now. this company has no idea how to treat its customer before and not a clue in after the sale.

Similar to what a previous customer reported, I also had a vehicle under warranty where the vehicle engine powered down at highway speeds--twice!!! I took this vehicle to Bob Jeannotte to repair the fi a vehicle under warranty where the vehicle engine powered down at highway speeds--twice!!! I took this vehicle to Bob Jeannotte to repair the first time and the throttle valve was replaced. This did not fix the problem, because a month later the same thing happened. Thus, I returned the vehicle to Bob jeannotte to repair. This time because the dealer could not recreate the problem, the SOLE "repair" offered was that the electrical connectors to the vehicle were cleaned. Given the serious nature of the defect, I requested that the traction module be replaced at a minimum. The service manager, Dan, declined to do so, stating that it was limited to performing the remedy prescribed by GM, which is to clean the connections. There is no evidence to demonstrate that merely cleaning the contacts resolves the problem, and given the serious nature of the problem and the fact that its recurrence cannot be predicted, the more reasonable solution is to replace the traction computer module, at a minimum. Again Dan declined. I asked if I could get an estimate to replace the traction computer and suggested that we split the cost difference or in the alternative I get a good trade in value towards buying a new car. Dan not only declined both options, but responded by threatening to charge me rental fees for the courtesy vehicle loaned to me while my car was being serviced if I did not return the rental car by 6pm. Needless to say, I'm certainly disappointed that my vehicle is not operating properly and that the dealer will not reasonably address the issue. I'm also quite taken aback at Dan's rude manner and the complete unwillingness to attempt to meet the customer half way or even a quarter of the way. The vehicle I purchased 2.5 years ago from Jeannotte was higher end [approx 40K] and I expect better service at this level. I can appreciate that this is a tough situation for the dealer to be in in that on one hand you have a dissatisfied customer, but on the other hand there is a very serious issue with the car that the dealer would have to fight with GM to be reimbursed for "unapproved" warranty work. Either GM would be upset or the customer, and in this case, it was easiest and most cost effective for Bob Jeannotte to have an upset customer. More
Ordered new truck. Explained that I will be driving it till the wheels fell off. Had the truck serviced only at dealership. Some thing even anal. Well when the truck finally came out of warrenty. I had to till the wheels fell off. Had the truck serviced only at dealership. Some thing even anal. Well when the truck finally came out of warrenty. I had to replace the window motor/regulator myself. Upon opening up the door panel I noticed that they had broken the door switch unit (this because they had been inside this door under warrenty 4 times). Being mechanically inclined, I replaced the window motor/regulator myself. I then took the door panel to them and asked if they thought that I would never find this. They said they would make it right. The first time they said that they tried to glue my part in but it would not take. So they drilled a hole into my speaker grill metal and attached it with a zip tie. Well that did not work. I then contacted GM customer service. I also found that I could by the part on the internet for $12.00. They informed me that they cannot get the part unless they order a whole new door panel and that they would not do that. After weeks of the delays in getting it fixed they called and asked me to look at a used truck on the lot. The plan was to remove that good part from the used truck and swap the damaged part in my truck. On the day of the swap I placed a quarter into the front right tire tread of the used truck to se if it would be moved. They said they would have the door parts swapped in an hour. At the end of the day ~7 hours after being dropped off I called them. They said that the other part was damaged too. So they glued my part into my door panel of which it can never be removed again. Upset? Sure, but what are you going to do when somebody does their best. Well I went over to the used truck and the quarter was still there in the place where I stuck it. The used truck was parked in the front row next to their sign which would not allow the drivers door to open far enough to even get to the part. They lied through this process till the end. FYI Gm has to keep manufacturing parts for all vehicles they make for 10 years. My rear tail gate was damaged and needed to be replaced so I took the truck into them to have it repaired/replaced. When I got the truck back the tailgate was a different color then the rest of the truck. I asked if they could paint it again. They did but now they painted the area around the tail gate to blend the color. I asked why they could not match the color when the truck was infront of them. They informed me that this is the best anyone can do. I asked why then is my cap on my truck a perfect match in color. My cap was painted 3 states away and they never even seen the truck. Because they give you a satifaction warrenty on insurance repairs, I took the tail gate in again when it stopped working correctly. They did repair it but now the handle trim is sticking out from the tail gate. They left it this way. More
