Kevin provided excellent customer service. I will never buy another vehicle. The sales staff is very incompetent and untrustworthy, especially the supervisor, the shaved haired guy who shoved More

Hello Cesar, Thank you for your feedback. We absolutely strive to provide our customers with an efficient and professional service experience; we are sorry that you did not feel that was the case. We are disappointed to hear of your experience, but understand police were called as you wanted to protest and were advised to take this outside of our business premises. We wish you all the best. Kind Regards, Elizabeth Reyes Customer Relations Manager

I purchased another truck from yall and come to find out yall never paid off my old truck as promised. Luckily i had auto pay so my credit was unaffected but i was paying 2 payments for 3 months. When yall finally paid off my other truck i tried for several months to recover my money from yall only to be given the run around. This went on for several months. It is now June, 6 months later because i caused a scene and police were calledI recoupped my money. I could have charged your manager, Sam Bitar your general manager with assault for putting his hands on me but thats not why I was there. DO NOT BUY VEHICLES FROM COASTAL CHEVROLET!

Thought I’d give this dealer another try. Last time I go to this place. 4 hours to do a simple maintenance is absurd. Ended up being late for work. I guess it was pointless to make an appoint More
