Terrible Dealership - Avoid like the plague I scheduled an appointment for 2pm to get an oil change. I arrived 5 minutes early, but the service advisor didn't come out until 2:15 and then infor I scheduled an appointment for 2pm to get an oil change. I arrived 5 minutes early, but the service advisor didn't come out until 2:15 and then informed me that the appointment was for them and not for the oil change. After meeting with them, my truck would be placed in line. What good is an appointment???? I could have driven in and gotten the same service. I thought after the terrible experience with them when I bought the truck, I thought that I would give their service a shot. Not any more. I will drive 100 miles to avoid this dealership if I have too and I suggest that you do the same!! More

Poor Service! I made an appointment to bring in one of my vehicles for tire service on Saturday Feb. 27th 2016. After talking to the manger and Rashad about what wa I made an appointment to bring in one of my vehicles for tire service on Saturday Feb. 27th 2016. After talking to the manger and Rashad about what was covered under my tire guarantee I purchased when I bought two sets of tires. That Service Department talked me into buying from them instead of purchasing them at Discount Tire like I normally do. I told Rashad to please have them inspect the tires because I had one go low almost flat the week prior. I also informed him I volunteer with a youth group and did not want to get stranded when we were traveling. I left my vehicle with the Service Department for several hours. After I picked up the vehicle I noticed they had not removed screw from a tire. I have called and left messages with NO reply to schedule another appointment. What a waste of time! So much for Dale Earnhart Jr. Tallahassee Chevrolet “World Class Inspection”. More

bait & switch I found a used vehicle at another Hendricks dealership and Dale Jr Chevrolet had it picked up and brought to their location. I agreed to the transport I found a used vehicle at another Hendricks dealership and Dale Jr Chevrolet had it picked up and brought to their location. I agreed to the transport fee. When the car came in Justin Caraway called and kept telling we what a clean nice vehicle. When I inquired about picking it up I was told there was some minor issue and it was in the service dept. I was put off several weeks and finally told the motor was bad and they were sending it back to the dealer it had come from. When I asked if they were keeping it for them selves I was assured it was going back. I had asked this because I saw it listed on there Web site but was told every vehicle that comes to them is automatically listed and it was a mistake. Well two months later I see it on the lot and on there web site for sale at nearly double the price I found it for. I know it is the same vehicle because I verified the vin#. If you plan to make a purchase there be careful because you sure can't believe what they tell you. More

Frustrating Had an "appointment" for an oil change and tire rotation. Was told "based on the number of cars that came in ahead of you, it will be about 2 hours". Had an "appointment" for an oil change and tire rotation. Was told "based on the number of cars that came in ahead of you, it will be about 2 hours". Huh? Why does it matter how many cars were ahead of me, I had an appointment? (And it was early; 7:30 am, not like it was late in the afternoon!). OK, so I waited 2 hours for my "free" oil change and tire rotation, not ideal but whatever. The icing on the cake came the next morning when I woke up and discovered 2 quarts of oil spread across my garage floor. I took my truck to SuperLube and let them fix Chevy's screwup. They only charged me for the 2 quarts of oil they added. I then went home and cleaned up a nasty mess on my garage floor. Needless to say I will not be heading back to Dale E. for service on my Silverado ever again! More

poor customer service; worst experience ever! I completed the online credit application on 10/14/15and within minutes received a call from Bri Burns who informed me that the application would be p I completed the online credit application on 10/14/15and within minutes received a call from Bri Burns who informed me that the application would be processed by the end of the date and she even scheduled an appointment for me to meet with her the over weekend so that I could check out the inventory. However, when I didn't hear from her by the close of business, I naturally expected that she would call me the following morning. By 2pm on Thursday, I still had not heard from her so I called to check the status and she informed that the application "got lost in the shuffle" and that she would get it taken care of and give me a call before closing; I never heard back from her. But on Friday, I received a call from the Sales Manager, Mr. Baker, who contacted me to confirm my appointment with Ms. Burns. I explained to him the I had not heard from Ms. Burns and therefore, have no update on my application status. He assured me that he would look into this situation and give me a call back; never heard back from him either. So I called this morning and had the pleasure (please note the sarcasm) of speaking with Mr. Shaw who sound like he had just rolled out of bed and was pissed that he had to be at work! It was in that moment that I realize that I realized that I had unrealistic expectations for this dealership because customer service is clearly not their specialty. If they offered me a car for free, I wouldn't take it; and no I am not angry, just disappointment in the manner in which they treat their potential customers. It was their lost and Kraft's gain :) More

Unpleasant Visit Dale Earnhardt Jr. Chevrolet Tallahassee I would like to take a moment and tell you about a very unpleasant and unprofessional visit to your dealership that wasted 3 hours of mine, my wife an I would like to take a moment and tell you about a very unpleasant and unprofessional visit to your dealership that wasted 3 hours of mine, my wife and my daughter's time yesterday, Wednesday evening, 8/12/15... I work 6 days a week, and Wednesday is my only day off each week, therefore I must make the best use of that one day off. My family has been looking at the all new 2016 Chevy Cruze advertisements as my daughter currently drives a 2012 silver Cruze and has been wanting a new red one. I have been looking at the dealer websites looking for one. I even received a mailing awhile back telling me that your dealership could probably get me into a new vehicle for less monthly payments and I told them at that time what we were looking for. On Wednesday, 8-12-15, at approximately 5 PM, I called your dealership and asked to speak to new car sales. I was connected to "Sam". I proceeded to tell her that we were looking for the all-new 2016 Cruze and I had seen on the website that you only had one in stock, but I know that inventories change daily, and since this was my only day off, I was wondering if you had any others in the color red hot. I explained to her that we live in Crawfordville and I don't want to drive all the way into Tallahassee if you do not have more than that one. She informed me that you currently had 16 Cruze's and had 4 in red hot. I explained that I know that there are two red colors, red hot and siren red and that I was specifically looking for the "red hot" color. She informed me that yes, 4 are the red hot color. (Later we discovered that this was untrue). She asked me how soon we could be there and I told her within the hour so we made the appointment to come in. Please feel free to review the recorded telephone conversation if you do not believe that I was lied to by your emplyee. When we arrived at your dealership, Sam introduced us to Clayton Bell. For the first two hours, we did not even get to look at the new Cruze's. We were filling out applications and applying for a loan on a vehicle that we had not even seen nor picked out. When I asked Mr. Bell about this procedure, he told me. " You told me what you want. I already know what vehicle you want". In purchasing new vehicles previously, I have always looked at the vehicles that I was interested in, picked out the want that I wanted to apply for, then do the paperwork. I explained to Mr. Bell, that I understood that there are 4 new Cruze's and that I would like to see than all and pick the one that we are interested in. That never happened. Then things began to get worse. After two hours, we were finally "allowed" to go look at the new Cruze's, only to be walked right past them and never shown them and for Mr. Bell to pull out a key and go get a 2015 red hot Sonic over to us and proceed to impress us with that. We were not impressed, although my daughter did drive it to appease Mr. Bell. He also attempted to talk us into a Spark, I explained to Mr. Bell that we are not going to accept something else just because that is the vehicle that your dealership can get us into when we want the Cruze. If we can't get into the Cruze that we want, then so be it. At this point I was not happy. When then parked the Sonic at the front door and went back inside for Mr. Bell to see what he could do. He then brought out a purchase order and started filling it out for the 2015 Sonic and wrote a statement to the tune of "I agree to purchase this vehicle if all terms are agreed upon".... My wife and I both said "No, we do not want to buy the Sonic. We are not interested in the Sonic". I do not know if this is standard procedure at Dale Earnhardt Jr. Chevrolet or not, but I have never seen a tactic like this, and I don't believe that Mr. Dale Earnhardt Jr. would have his name on a dealership that practices tactics such as this.... And it continued.... After we emphatically stated that we did not want any other car than the 2016 Cruze. I told Mr. Bell, how about this, you show us the four red hot 2016 Cruze's, you let us pick out the one that we want to apply for, then you tell us what we need to do to get into that one.... He agreed to go ask the Sales Manager. He then came back with "Good News". They had located a new 2015 red hot Cruze that they could have at the dealership tomorrow.... I asked for more info about that one and where was it coming from and was told, "I don't know." We then walked out to "look" at the Cruze's. We were only allowed to look through the windows, not once was a single door opened... Again, I ask, what type of procedure is this? I did manage to get the vehicles VIN. Mr. Bell explained that we would be leaving my daughter's Cruze there and he would put her into another vehicle for the night and that we could come back today and pick up the new Cruze. My wife and I both said absolutely not, that we were not making any deals or signing anything without seeing the vehicle in person. Mr. Bell then brought out keys to a new 2015 Cruze that he was going to show us that was the same as the one they were bringing in, only this one was champagne in color. We walked the entire lot with Mr. Bell "clicking" the key FOB attempting to get a chirp from the car to find it's location. That car was never located.... We then left the dealership after approximately three hours of very unethical and unprofessional treatment. When I got home, it took me all of 30 seconds with the vehicle's VIN to see that the Cruze was in Bainbridge, Georgia. Now, I ask, why is that such a big secret when I asked for that information at the dealership? After seeing the photos of that Cruze and the options that are on it (or not on it), we have no interest in that Cruze. Also, upon further research, I find on the GM website that the 2016 Cruze is very similar to the 2015 Cruze, but that the All-New redesigned Chevy Cruze will be available in early 2016..... And that's the one that we were inquiring about in the first place. Is your dealership not informed of this? Do the salesmen not know that there are actually two designs of the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze? If they would have informed us that the all new, redesigned Cruze won't be available until early 2016, we would have not wasted three hours of my family's time. Also, if Sam would not have lied to me on the phone that you currently have four all-new 2016 Chevrolet Cruze's in red hot in stock, I would not have come in and would not have wasted three hours of my family's time. I realize that I can't pay cash for one of your vehicles, I can't put $3000 down on one of your vehicles, that I don't have a great credit rating, but I feel that I should have been treated more professionally than my family was and should never have been lied to in order to get me to come into your dealership...... I am confident that Mr. Dale Earnhardt Jr. does not endorse this or these practices and I intend to forward this correspondence to him and/or his people. My family had a very unpleasant visit to your and his dealership. We will be waiting for the All-New, redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Cruze when it is available in early 2016. We will be saving until then and will be able to put a sizeable cash down payment. We will get that new 2016 red hot Cruze, but it will not come from Tallahassee. I would rather drive to Quincy, Panama City, or even Georgia to be treated professionally. Please inform your employees to not telephone me or my family any more. I am hereby notifying you in writing that your personnel are not authorized to call me or my family on any of the telephone numbers you may have. More
