They pretend they care but then they ghost you. Every negative review on here has the standard “we care, call us to make it better”, but it’s all lies. They don’t want to make it better they want t More

My husband and I have both sent, you personally, messages, As I said our concerns have been ignored completely. We have now reached out to main office in Medford. I realize there is no written warranty on a used vehicle but when you sell a vehicle that you say has been gone over by your mechanic and all is good and it then has catastrophic failure in less than 30 days, I think you should really address that fact and take responsibility for putting us in a dangerous situation.

Hello, I appreciate you both taking the time to reach out to me regarding your 2004 Ford purchase and mechanical difficulties. I do want to assure you our service team works diligently to provide thorough inspections to all pre-owned vehicles. However, with an older vehicle accompanied by higher miles such as this, it is difficult to know what maintenance or repairs may be needed in the future. Further, I did reach out to you on 4/15/25 and look forward to hearing back from you. Best, Chris Wilson General Sales Manager

Bought a used ford F350 and was told the engine had been bulletproofed and that there was a ton of paperwork to support that. When I asked for the paperwork, it couldn’t be found, and after 2 months owning More

It's concerning to hear about your experience with the F-350 motor, Mark. Please know we strive for transparency surrounding each sale and it's disappointing to hear you feel this wasn't the case. I want to ensure you are taken care of, so when you have a moment, please reach out so we can discuss how best to address these issues and find a resolution together. Thank you, Chris Wilson - General Sales Manager - cwilson@lithia.com

Well, as I see it there are 2 choices. Refund me the money I have spent on this truck from initial purchase, to parts, and labor which would be over 15k, or take the truck in and fix it completely. Not by rebuilding the junkyard engine, but by having a decent bullet proofed engine put in with a warranty.

Chevrolet of Bend responded

Hi Mark, Thanks for your feedback and thoughts on reaching a resolution on your truck repairs. I would be happy to speak with you at your earliest convenience to see what we can do. Please reach out to me through cwilson@lithia.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Chris Wilson General Sales Manager

I did e mail you, with the same response I put here on this public forum. With no response. Also, my email is right there in the first part of this post. It’s like when i reached out to your salesman ‘Mark Schmid’, I was ghosted then also! I will add, it was purchased November 7th and broke down December 8th… so it wasn’t 2 months, it was just a month and a day from purchase. I have the screen shots of the conversation I had with the salesman, but this forum doesn’t seem to alow attachments.

I am as surprised, I missed a call yesterday and got an e mail this morning from Chris Wilson, I will be returning his call shortly! Who knows, maybe this WILL get resolved?

I had a terrible experience with one of their sales associates. He was rude, arrogant, and dismissive. I emailed their General Manger, General Sales Manager, Business Manger, and Used Car Manager two w More

I emailed all four managers twice, January 22nd and February 5th, with my phone number and email address. If you really wanted to respond directly to me you could have.

The correspondence with Bend Chevrolet was excellent. I requested information on a vehicle I was interested. They were prompt in letting me know the status of that vehicle. More

Charles, just called Chevrolet of Bend and I'm told you are no longer the service manager and have not been service manager for over 6 weeks. Why would you respond to my review and want to discuss if this is the case?

Terry L in the service department is a liar and crook. Did the work on my vehicle without my approval. Illegal! Then they keep your car unless you pay them what they say! More
