Hill-Kelly Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram

My husband and I were shopping around for a Jeep Grand Cherokee when we stubbled upon Hill Kelley Dodge. They had the exact one we wanted online, and it seemed to be in excellent condition. My husband cal Cherokee when we stubbled upon Hill Kelley Dodge. They had the exact one we wanted online, and it seemed to be in excellent condition. My husband called on the Cherokee and spoke with the internet sales agent, Patty Hayles. She was very easy to work with and because we live 2 hours from Pensacola, she and her manager were able to work out our deal over the phone. The next day we traveled to Pensacola. When we got to Hill Kelley our Cherokee was sitting at the front of the building and as soon as we walked up to it we were greeted by Casey Chambers. He was very nice and professional and let us look the vehicle over. My husband notice there was a problem with the key (it did not have button for the push start) so he asked Mr. Chambers what the problem was. Mr. Chamber used his "charm" and basically blew him off by never really answering his question, but said he would check on it. My husband let it go and we went ahead and test drove the vehicle. On our test drive, Mr. Chambers made several comments about how much he knew about Jeep and Dodge, that he grew up around them and there wasn't a question about the Cherokee we could not ask him that he could not answer. This was our third Jeep purchase so we were pretty sure it was what we wanted and we had done our research, as well; therefore, we did not have any questions because we knew what to expect, and what we were getting from a Jeep product. Once we got back to the dealership, my husband told Mr. Chambers that we had already worked out the deal and we were ready to sign the paperwork. Mr. Chambers went and got the paperwork for us to sign. To make an extremely long story short, we did not want to finance through the dealership and Mr. Chambers became very upset over that. He kept trying to pressure us into it and we told him no about ten times. When we went to close the deal with the finance guy, Rick Rice, the experience was unbelievable. We told Rick that we were not interested in financing through the dealership, and he became very unprofessional. He used profanity towards us in his office, and my husband ended up getting the general manager and told him what was going on. Of course the GM did what he could to smooth things over so he wouldn't loose a sale. If the price would not have been so good on the Cherokee we would have left. To make things worse, Mr. Chambers never checked on the key problem and when we got home with the Cherokee we found that the entire key was broken. We ended up having to take the Cherokee to a local Jeep dealership and have it fixed. The key was not the correct key and the inside parts did not work. After two days in the shop, our 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee now works. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Rice tried to pull one over on us and I am very mad. I WILL NEVER BUY A VEHICLE FROM HILL KELLEY DODGE EVER AGAIN!!!! This was the worst experience we have ever had buying a vehicle. Everything seemed to be going fine until we said we did not want to finance. These guys were completely unprofessional and tried to take advantage of us. Please be careful when dealing with Casey Chambers and Rick Rice. Casey is arrogant and cocky and Rick is rude and a jerk. I have nothing for this dealership and hope I NEVER see these people again!

Overall, I had a fantastic experience with this dealership. I initiated an inquiry after seeing the car I wanted online. I spoke to Richard Manning at 7am CST and loved that he was available that dealership. I initiated an inquiry after seeing the car I wanted online. I spoke to Richard Manning at 7am CST and loved that he was available that early in the morning to field questions. He was very nice and courteous. He worked with me throughout the day to verify info about the car and ensure I was comfortable with initiating a purchase remotely. Couple points of feedback, though: Richard has been a car salesman for a long time which is both a good and bad quality. He's very knowledgeable, but sometimes forgets to put the "schpeel" on hold and have an actual two-way conversation with you. You can tell he is passionate about his job and employer, which are wonderful and commendable traits, but there were a few times I got frustrated because he kept overtalking me and not validating my concerns. The sale wandered into the next day and Richard had me work with Garner Lynch in his absence. Garner is *so* friendly and absolutely willing to go out of his way to ensure you are comfortable in every way. He was a lot of fun to work with and I'm glad we got to meet him. We eventually came to a fair agreement and I am very happy I purchased the car. I worked with Rick Rice to tidy up the deal. He has a great personality and made the "number-crunching" and paperwork minutia rather enjoyable. More

I have dealt with Dean McArthur and the Hill Kelly Body Shop before when someone hit and totaled out my 2005 Jeep Wrangler that I bought new from Hill Kelly Jeep. So, I bought my 2011 Jeep Liberty from Hil Shop before when someone hit and totaled out my 2005 Jeep Wrangler that I bought new from Hill Kelly Jeep. So, I bought my 2011 Jeep Liberty from Hill Kelly Jeep after that and thought of their body shop first when my Liberty received some damage from another vehicle. The estimate was fast, accurate, and the finished work was class A and done in a efficient time frame. I live in Daphne Alabama but feel the drive is well worth it over to Pensacola to have such a great all around team like Hill Kelly Dodge/Jeep help me with everything from new sales, to service, to repairs when needed. If I could rate them as a dealer I would give them 5 stars! Thanks to Dean and all of the Hill Kelly family. More

Casey Chambers, our Hill-Kelly salesperson, is knowledgeable re all types of JEEP vehicles and (based on our input re what we wanted in a new JEEP), he was able to match us quickly with the right knowledgeable re all types of JEEP vehicles and (based on our input re what we wanted in a new JEEP), he was able to match us quickly with the right car for us, which we purchased the same day. We had not intended to purchase our new car that day, but Casey convinced us that we would receive an optimal deal if we purchased the same day (i.e. due to July 4th sale still operative). The price we received for trade-in of our old JEEP and purchase of our new JEEP LIBERTY was good, given that the new car has a lot of "extra" features we had not intended to purchase. I would recommend Casey and Hill-Kelly to anyone interested in purchasing a new car and particularly a new JEEP. Casey has a pleasant, courteous, enthusiastic but non-pressuring presentation that we appreciated, and all the other Hill-Kelly employees we dealt with that day also were very courteous and helpful. In particular, I think Casey will go far in the career he has chosen and would be glad to repeat this very positive evaluation for him in order to help his advancement. I thank Casey and Hill-Kelly for all the help in trading in our old JEEP for our new JEEP LIBERTY, which we genuinely love! More

We purchased a new vehicle in October 2011. Due to the manufacture inadvertantly leaving out the insulation for the sunroof cover it rattled. When we found out what had to be done to fix it, we were not c manufacture inadvertantly leaving out the insulation for the sunroof cover it rattled. When we found out what had to be done to fix it, we were not comfortable keeping the vehicle. My husband spoke to Mr. Bill McGinnis who was very respectful and concerned about our problem. He reported the problem to Mr.Tony Gilbert who immediately contacted us and had us come to the dealership. He went to bat for us with the manufacture and got us out of that vehicle and into a new one without ANY hassles or aggravation and no loss of finances on our part. He was very respectful, concerned and caring. He had Mr. Brian Merritt show us the vehicles on the lot.He was very informed and spoke with us and found out exactly what we wanted and we loved the very first vehicle he showed us. He was very patient and resectful. We never felt rushed, pushed, or pressured. Mrs. Holmes did the paperwork for ua and she was also a gem. She is very knowledgeable and the process was a breeze. We have been buying vehicles for over 40 years, have shopped and bought at most of the major dealerships in Pensacola, Crestview, and Fort Walton and we have never been treated as courteously, respectfully and honestly as we were at this dealership. Customer satisfaction is very important to them and it shows. We will be buying all our future vehicles from this dealership from now on and will not hesitate to recommend them to all our family and friends. More
