Champion Chevrolet

I recently took in my 20+ year old suburban for possible warranty repairs. I have a new crate motor from GM in the vehicle and it began leaking oil heavily. The engine was installed elsewhere, but I had no warranty repairs. I have a new crate motor from GM in the vehicle and it began leaking oil heavily. The engine was installed elsewhere, but I had no problems getting warranty service for it (something a lot of dealers balk at doing if they didnt install it) Champion looked it over and inspected it very throughly and determined the leaks were not part of the warranty covered by GM but would be the responsibility of the shop that installed the engine itself. They detailed out what was wrong and even offered to help me with the other shop should they give me the run around about fixing it under warranty. My service tech Danny Price was helpful in every way during this process. I was very pleased at how well they treated a new customer that was not one of their own...however after this experience, I will be a customer of this dealership. More

My wife and I were in the market for two full sized 2008 trucks, and we were interested in taking advantage of Chevrolet's excellent rebates/cash back offers that were available at the time. We walked into trucks, and we were interested in taking advantage of Chevrolet's excellent rebates/cash back offers that were available at the time. We walked into the dealer and were treated nicely by the sales people that greeted us outside. We viewed a few trucks and decided to try and get a bottom-line price on one of them. We were escorted into an office and asked to take a seat. We had brought details of the offers Chevrolet was advertising on its website with us. This is where the service got bad. In walked a pacific-islander looking gentleman, slightly balding, if I remember correctly. He brought in pricing information on the truck 1st truck we were looking at but it did not match the offers Chevrolet was advertising. We questioned this and that's when this guy went haywire. He told us that the dealership could do what they wanted to, and they wouldn't honor the cash back/rebate price advertised. We were astounded at his delivery (very rude and condescending). Disappointed at the situation (we really liked the truck) we asked if we could be shown something else. He told us "We have nothing for YOU here". I said "excuse me", and he made it obvious that we wouldn't be shown any other vehicles. My wife and I were flabergasted and just looked at each other. I'm still amazed when I think about it. If the boss knew how customers were being treated I'm sure the guy would be looking for another job. Anyway, we walked right across the street to Winkel GMC (the trucks are almost identical) and bought our two trucks. They were great and we recommend them to everyone. More

I'm shopping for a new corvett (c6) they won't allow a test drive? My household income is 200k+ and I owe on nothing except for my house. I said If I like the car then criteria for selection is lowest pri test drive? My household income is 200k+ and I owe on nothing except for my house. I said If I like the car then criteria for selection is lowest price. Thats when the salesdweeb got the stupid expression. <br><br>I guess their overhead prevents them from being competative!<br> More

The following review is in my opinion. This was several years ago but I had my car in for service and the technician put the wrong transaxle fluid in and i later had to have the car towed back to the deale years ago but I had my car in for service and the technician put the wrong transaxle fluid in and i later had to have the car towed back to the dealership for the right fluid. More recently I called to schedule a recall repair done for a chevy car that I bought out of state. The first questions they asked me was if I bought my car from them. Why does that matter? Am I going to get poor service now because I did not buy my car from them? Champion also wanted my car for at least a day for a 30 minute repair job. Anyway I ended up driving the 300 mile round trip to Winnemucca Bosch motors to get the work done. Took them 30 minutes with no hassle whatsoever. Very pleased. More
