Title: Misleading Sales Tactics, Forced Warranties, and Poor Customer Service at Capital Chevrolet** **Review:** I purchased a 2025 Corvette Stingray from Capital Chevrolet in Austin, Texas, on Janua Poor Customer Service at Capital Chevrolet** **Review:** I purchased a 2025 Corvette Stingray from Capital Chevrolet in Austin, Texas, on January 20, 2025, and my experience has been deeply disappointing. What should have been an exciting milestone turned into a frustrating and costly ordeal due to the dealership’s unethical practices, lack of transparency, and poor communication. ### Key Issues: 1. **Forced and Unauthorized Warranties**: - **ZakTek Warranty ($995)**: I was told this is a mandatory add-on for every new vehicle sold at Capital Chevrolet, with no option to remove it. - **New Platinum Care Elite Warranty ($3,200)**: I was misled into believing that removing this warranty would increase my interest rate by 2 points. Finance Director Luis Chavez later confirmed this was false. - **Club Plus Warranty ($2,205.45)**: This warranty was added to my loan without my knowledge or consent. It was never mentioned during the purchase process, and the paperwork I received did not include it. 2. **$2,346.45 Discrepancy**: - The discrepancy on my sales contract was due to the unauthorized Club Plus warranty. The total amount financed should have been $61,203.65 after my $15,000 down payment, but the contract showed $63,550.10—a difference of $2,346.45. 3. **Impact on Loan Terms**: - The unwanted warranties increased my loan amount by $8,838.27, raised my monthly payments by $81.55, and extended my loan term from 72 to 75 months. These changes were not disclosed during the purchase process. 4. **Poor Communication and Resolution**: - After noticing the discrepancy and unauthorized charges, I contacted the dealership on February 10, 2025, but received no response for over a week. It wasn’t until I left a negative review online that management finally reached out. - Finance Director Luis Chavez admitted that the Platinum Care Elite warranty could be removed without affecting my interest rate, contradicting what I was told during the sale. - Because it took over 30 days to resolve these issues (due to the dealership’s delayed response), I am now being charged over $200 to cancel the unwanted warranties. 5. **Deceptive Practices**: - The dealership used scare tactics and misinformation to pressure me into keeping the warranties. - They failed to provide transparent explanations or timely resolutions, only acting after I escalated the issue publicly. ### Conclusion: This experience has been incredibly frustrating and unfair. I trusted Capital Chevrolet to provide transparent and ethical service, but instead, I was misled, pressured, and forced into unnecessary expenses. The lack of communication and accountability has left me feeling taken advantage of. I strongly advise anyone considering purchasing from Capital Chevrolet to thoroughly review all paperwork, question any additional charges, and be cautious of forced warranties. I will not be doing business with this dealership again and will continue to share my experience to inform others. More
