If you want painless, go see Chris Wanted to trade in my old car & get into a 4x4 before the snow started.

Stopped in for a test drive, liked it, took my car back in to get appraised & went for a second test drive, and then stopped back in the next day to fill out paperwork & take delivery. Chris worked with my budget & got me into a great Renegade without being pushy or making me feel rushed like other car dealerships did. The best part was that he stayed on top of communication via email and phone & had everything ready to go when I showed up, no games or making me wait around. Easiest car-buying experience ever, would definitely recommend Chris & Gengras Jeep! More

He assist me through the entire process spending with me almost six hours. Time with him flew away, like I had been there just for a hour or two. I really made me feel pretty comfortable with my buying experience. He never pressed me or tried to force my decision. It was like we were two great friends who met each other after a long time. He is an excellent dealerships and an outstanding person. When my daughter will be ready to buy her first car, for sure I will introduce Chris to her. Thank you very much again. Luca More

Loved Gengras and Chris! I hated the car buying process until I met with Chris Hansen at Gengras. Unlike other dealerships I went to, Chris was friendly and genuine. He took t I hated the car buying process until I met with Chris Hansen at Gengras. Unlike other dealerships I went to, Chris was friendly and genuine. He took the time to form a relationship with my boyfriend and I, which I really valued during this process. He talked to my boyfriend about sports which was all it took to get him hooked! Another reason I liked Chris was that he explained everything thoroughly as we were going through the process. He knew it was my first new car buying experience and took that to heart. He made sure I had the best experience possible and myself and my boyfriend will never want to work with anyone else again! I also am IN LOVE with my 2016 Jeep Compass! Thanks Chris! More

Extremely Poor Service Brought in Jeep for a small issue (key getting stuck in lock). Customer Service Advisor (Mike) extremely poor in response, pushed a repair that c Brought in Jeep for a small issue (key getting stuck in lock). Customer Service Advisor (Mike) extremely poor in response, pushed a repair that cost 3X what a local non-OEM mechanic charged me. His attitude was very shady in my opinion with no sense of empathy for obviously calling me back 5-6 hours after he could have called (I needed to call the dealership multiple times and escalate to finally get a call back). BTW, I scheduled my car to come in first thing in the morning so that it could be addressed in a timely fashion as I need it for work. I got that call back after all the mechanics left for the day. When I asked why the small fix would cost over $1000 and need 3 days for a part to come in, Mike told me the mechanic left for the day and he could not answer the question himself. I told them I would be taking the care elsewhere. Final icing on the cake: When I picked the car up, they left all the wiring undone. I needed to clean up the work they started (in the dark outside their lot at 8PM). Sent a much more detailed letter to the GM (Evan Newmark) and never received a response. I will never take my Jeep to this dealer again and suggest you do the same. More

It is always an arduous task to buy a car; one that I quite frankly dread for months in advance. However, Chris Hansen was professional, personable and genuine. We told him our parameters and he found exactly what we were looking for, no haggling or BS. I would return in a minute and I recommend him highly. As a matter of fact everyone we encountered from our initial phone call through signing the papers was pleasurable. We walked out with a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Sport and couldn't be more satisfied. More

Chris was a total professional from the introduction to waving as we drove off the lot in our new 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. He asked several questions to understand what we were looking for in a car and what our budget was, he was even able to find a great program that was offered through my employer that I knew nothing about that saved us quiet a bit of money, not to mention time trying to negotiate a better price. My wife and I we very happy with the dealership and especially with the way Chris handled the entire deal. I will be looking to work with Chris when it is time to buy our next vehicle. More

Poorly organized. Too busy. Once the salesman makes a sale, he won't return your call. I had ordered a backup camera from sales dept when I purchased the vehicle new. Salesman w Once the salesman makes a sale, he won't return your call. I had ordered a backup camera from sales dept when I purchased the vehicle new. Salesman would not call me back to arrange for it's installation. I left messages for him for 3 straight days. And I know he was working those days. As soon as I asked for the sales manager, the salesman came to the phone. Scheduled with the service dept the installation of backup camera. Had an appt on a Wednesday morning at 9am. Was told will be ready in 4hrs. Received a call at 3pm stating the car was not going to be serviced that day. They actually told me that there were 20 cars ahead of me that were still left over from Monday. Installation was finally completed by Friday. However, I had to make multiple phone calls daily and even speak to the manager to get it accomplished. They also lost my license plates within the dealership for 2 days. Their service dept is extremely busy and they have a skeleton crew working. My car came with 2 yrs of free oil changes and free car washes. I don't know if I will be going back there. I will gladly pay more just to be treated with a little respect. More

He immediately established trust with my wife and I, and found us the right vehicle with the right options for the right price. Chris was very knowledgeable about both the vehicle and the whole car buying process. He was very respectful of our time and we were able to take the vehicle home the same day. Can't say enough good things here, if you're looking for a Jeep you should go here and ask for Chris. Thank you, More

Awful! On Thursday, September 3, I brought my 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee to CDJ for recalls. One of the recalls was to replace the rotors. When I picked up t On Thursday, September 3, I brought my 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee to CDJ for recalls. One of the recalls was to replace the rotors. When I picked up the car, there was a thumping noise and pulsation when applying the brakes and a horrible order was coming from the vehicle. I called immediately to let the service department know there was a problem. I was told to bring it back the next day. I brought it back the next day and was told it wasn't a rotor problem but something to do with the hubs. To fix the problem, it would cost $1800. They replaced the rotors and the same noise and smell were still there. When I brought the vehicle in, there were no problems at all. I find it hard to believe that once I take it for service, there is a problem and it will cost $1800 for the repairs. Again, there were no issues prior to me taking the vehicle in. I have to wonder if someone made a mistake with the repair. While the vehicle was at CDJ for the recalls, the shifter was replaced due to one of the recalls. Now the lights don't illuminate so that you can see what gear the car is in. So, to sum it up, I now need to make a 3rd appointment to get the shifter light fixed. I am very unhappy with CDJ. I own a Chevy which I bought from the Chevy store and have never had this kind of problem. Regarding the shuttle - I had a horrible experience. I told 3 people at CDJ that I would need a ride to and from work. Someone forgot and it took an hour to pick me up. I understand that it is not my personal shuttle, however I should have been told it would take that long. Again, never have I had this problem at Chevy. The shuttle drivers were always prompt. The shuttle driver would have you complete a form with your name, address, and time you would like to be picked up. This did not happen at CDJ. CDJ could learn a lot from the Chevy store. When I had to bring the vehicle back on Friday, I had to take a 1/2 day off from work because of the unreliable shuttle experience. To say I am frustrated is an understatement. It is very inconvenient to have to bring the vehicle back an additional 2 times. I will bring back the jeep for you to fix the light on the shifter so that it illuminates. Other than than, I will have the vehicle serviced elsewhere. If someone happens to ask my opinion about CDJ, it will not be favorable. More
