I frequent this location so overall I’m satisfied but my most recent experience was not the best. We have an older vehicle that required some repairs and unfortunately the vehicle came in performing better most recent experience was not the best. We have an older vehicle that required some repairs and unfortunately the vehicle came in performing better than when I left. We got motor mounts replaced that were supposed to absorb the shock but the car vibrates and never did before. The mechanic and advisor blamed it on the age of the vehicle. If I would have known the outcome, I would have chosen a different path. Although the outcome was not desirable, my service advisor was responsive and respectful during the process. More
I was quoted 1 hour for my service to be completed when I scheduled the appointment but upon checking was told it’d be 2 hours. That’s 100% error rate. I was told it’d be 40 minutes before someone could e scheduled the appointment but upon checking was told it’d be 2 hours. That’s 100% error rate.

The service was fine. As always, the work is professional and done according to industry best practices. The system for appointments was not fine. An appointment just mean As always, the work is professional and done according to industry best practices. The system for appointments was not fine. An appointment just means the car sits in their yard, waiting until a technician can get to it. Thus, a 24-hour job became a five day job. Most of those five days the car sat in the yard doing nothing. I asked to bring the car when there is a technician available, this couldn't be done. An appointment to get in line? This is a problem that was solved a hundred years ago in the restaurant industry, it's called a sing-in sheet. When your number is called, you come over and get service. Nowadays it's even better, they can call you when they're ready for you. Being without the car for an extra four days, for no reason at all except poor pipeline management, was a hardship for our family and overshadows the actual service. More
I really appreciate the attention and follow-up I have received from this service department. The service managers (especially Ted) listen to you and communicate via text and phone regularly. Overall, t received from this service department. The service managers (especially Ted) listen to you and communicate via text and phone regularly. Overall, this service department work hard to keep their promises too. Buying a car is more than just an initial investment, but rather a long term commitment and thus the service department is crucial to the overall customer experience a dealership should and is expected to provide.
