Worst Customer Service I've ever experienced! Worst dealership for customer service. Bought a brand new truck, broke down twice within 4,000 miles.

Didn't get a response from anyone until a Better Business complaint was filed. Jim Shorkey promised a $500 gift card for parts/service & when I tried to contact him to use it, he would not return my phone call. Stay away!! More
No negotiation in overpriced used car We 1st looked to purchase a new car under lease- a Dart that had been on the lot for months.

Was told that "Buy" was currently less expensive than "Lease" and the paperwork to show lease payment was too time consuming. ( Previous day we looked at a Ford model car from the same dealership's Ford location- in which they provided both Buy and Lease payment options in minutes- lease being less). Since a new car Buy was out of our price range, we then looked at 2-3 yr old cars instead. Salesman found a 2012 Avenger that we researched (Web via phone) as a "Fair Buy" and had been on the lot for 2 months. Ran out of time & said would return next morning to test drive. Car was sold overnight. Then looked at a similar Avenger (2011, higher mileage, more options- higher price) Researched and showed salesman that it was overpriced by $700 and on the lot even longer. He called the Manager: he didn't even offer to negotiate, stating is was a good price as is. Before leaving, he looked for another car to fit our price range- which of course the 2 found were not anywhere near our type/model selections- a subcompact and a Jeep. Too bad- they could have had a sale if they would have negotiated a little, or even shown the costing on the car to justify the price. We purchased a 2013 Avenger for same money as the sold 2012 at another dealership the same day. Do your research up front on price/value and don't expect any negotiation if you shop there for a used car. More
All around terrible Our experience started out good it seemed like they really cared and wanted us to get into a good car, but after we bought our car they have ignored u Our experience started out good it seemed like they really cared and wanted us to get into a good car, but after we bought our car they have ignored us ever since. The car came without an owners manual and no one would get us one after calling our dealer and the dealership. They never gave us the spare tire they promised us, this place is terrible do not spend your hard working money here. They treat you like an inconvenience! I will never buy a car here again nor will I recommend I wish I would of read the reviews! More
This place is a JOKE Brought my Jeep in because it's was not starting occasionally, they said nothing was wrong with it. Told them I had a noise coming from my tire.. Repl Brought my Jeep in because it's was not starting occasionally, they said nothing was wrong with it. Told them I had a noise coming from my tire.. Replaced parts I didn't need . Left dealership with same noise. If they test drove it they would of seen it wasn't fixed. Took it to my mechanic and said parts put in were defective. Now I'm back a week later to have it corrected and same run around. Worse place I ever dealt with. More
Dont do it! Buying a vehicle from *Jim Shorkey has been nothing but trouble from day 1. First of all the individual that handled the purchase andpaperwork didn't Buying a vehicle from *Jim Shorkey has been nothing but trouble from day 1. First of all the individual that handled the purchase andpaperwork didn't know what he was doing and turned into a 2 day procedure due to his inabilities. Next it's vehicle has numerous problems.radio will turn on and off over and over. When radio goes off, dash lights go off also. There's a rattle in the vehicle and they say it was Sun roof and that's not it. Then try calling service or parts and all you ever get is voicemails. Try to call any other dealership and I gurantee you will get a human on the line first and every time in parts or service. I do not recommend Shorkeys. BTW it is a 2015 Jeep Trailhawk that there are so many problems with. More
Horrible My fiancé and I chose to buy new vehicle, we look at a car we liked it we wanted it. I asked to have a car in black they brought out a different car t My fiancé and I chose to buy new vehicle, we look at a car we liked it we wanted it. I asked to have a car in black they brought out a different car told me it was exactly the same car except for the computer screen was smaller. We went ahead we purchased the car once home I realized the screen was not just smaller but it was lacking a lot of features that the other car had.we called many times and did not get a return call finally we put a call into Mr. Shorkey himself and he returned the call. We offered to pay for a GPS to be put in the car he looked into it said it cannot be done you bought it you're stuck with it or trade it in and lose $4000 on it because it is now a used car or keep it. My car was not detailed when we left, it was late. Nobody ever called back to have my car detailed it has surface scratches that need buffed out the stickers are from January I bought my car in April. We have several more phone calls and about getting it detailed and we are once again being told all cars are detailed before they leave.. Dealerships are in business because of people like us. Please do your research on any vehicle that you want before you buy.. You cannot rely on a salesman to be honest! They just want the sale! Good luck! More

My time at the dealers Went to Jim Shorkey just to look! Left the dealership that night with my first new car! My salesman Robert Walker was THE BEST! My time at the dealership was like I've known him for years! I've dealt with plenty of car salesmen, Robert was BY FAR THE BEST!! When you go to Jim Shorkey trust me and ask for Robert Walker!! More
Not Worthy compared to the Competition I have had nothing but a series of disappointments after the sale with this dealership. I got a great deal on the vehicle, but the service after the s I have had nothing but a series of disappointments after the sale with this dealership. I got a great deal on the vehicle, but the service after the sale has been disappointing. Anytime I ask about warranty issues I am told I have to start a claim with Chrysler Customer Service first, if they deem it is something worth checking into, then they will take care of it. The service appointments are always scheduled 3 to 4 weeks out, nothing is ever available on a Saturday. If I call a local competing dealer and explain the problems I am having with Shorkey, they always do their best to get me in the next day. That tells me who wants my business going forward, I think I;ll pay a little more for my vehicle the next time I'm shopping. More
Didn't Care!! This dealer could have sold the 2012 White Convertible Camaro that is still on their website at another one of their dealerships. Drove an hour for t This dealer could have sold the 2012 White Convertible Camaro that is still on their website at another one of their dealerships. Drove an hour for them to tell me they could give me $5k less than my trade in was worth because "We already came down on the price of this car." Not my fault YOU cannot sell this car- now I see why! Not even a call to see what they could do to sell the car (it really wasn't much). You did me a favor, we found a nicer 2011 Camaro with 1000 miles at a dealership that knows how to treat customers instead of Katie making fancy commercials!! More
Disappointing - Don't be fooled by the free cookies I visited the Jim Shorkey Jeep dealership in Irwin, PA (an hour and 20 mins away from where I live) after doing research and reading mostly positive r I visited the Jim Shorkey Jeep dealership in Irwin, PA (an hour and 20 mins away from where I live) after doing research and reading mostly positive reviews. The reviews could not have been more wrong. After exchanging emails with the dealership for a couple days, I was feeling pretty good going into the ordeal. Upon arrival at the dealership, I was introduced to the salesman Matt Kramer after waiting approximately 15 minutes. After telling Matt which Jeep I was interested in, he left to start the appraisal on my trade-in. He then returned to tell me that they could not locate the exact Jeep I was interested in and that we could test drive another Jeep that was basically the same. The test drive went fine. Once we returned to the dealership, Matt gave me the results of my appraisal, which was almost $5K below the blue book value. He then informed me that I was upside down on my current loan (this should not have been a surprise, I was upfront about this from my very first conversation with the dealership). He then told me what the price of the Jeep was, which was $3K more than advertised on the dealership website. The explanation he provided was that I didn’t qualify for any of the rebates because I wasn’t a recent graduate or veteran. He then placed an absurd set of numbers in front of me to demonstrate what he anticipated my monthly payment would be. After I told him that those numbers were absurd and would not work for me, that is when things started to change. He then had me complete a credit application to see what the actual numbers would be. After waiting approximately an hour, he came back to tell me that no bank would finance me without $5K down. Again, I was upfront from the beginning that I was not prepared to make a large down payment on a vehicle. I then asked him to run the numbers on another vehicle that was approximately $10K less than the first vehicle. Again, he disappeared. This time he was gone for approximately 1.5 hours. While I waited in his cubicle for news, I could see my salesman and the finance guy sitting in the finance office laughing and playing on their phones. There was no attempt to keep me apprised of the status of the deal or to discuss what other options were available. Finally, after being at the dealership for a total of almost 4 hours, Matt came to me and simply handed me the keys to my current vehicle and told me they couldn’t get the deal to work. No further explanation and absolutely no attempt to offer me additional options. This was not my first vehicle purchase and I have never seen a dealership/salesman that was uninterested in making the deal work. Although completely dumbfounded at what had just occurred, while I was still in the dealership parking lot, I completed a credit application for a nearby Chevy dealership and immediately received a phone call asking me to stop by. An hour and a half later (including test driving 2 vehicles), I was pulling off the Chevy dealership in a brand new SUV. The real kicker is that my new Chevy was more expensive than the second Jeep that the Jeep dealership couldn’t make work and the Chevy was financed through the exact same bank that Jeep claimed would not offer me financing. The Chevy dealership also offered me full blue book value for my trade-in. While I certainly appreciate the free cookies and coffee offered by Jim Shorkey, the snacks are apparently a distraction from the poor customer service. This dealership definitely lost me as a customer. While I fully understand that the purchase and financing of a vehicle is complicated and sometimes just doesn’t work, the lack of interest showed by this dealership and the salesman was astounding to me. Thank god for Kenny Ross Chevy! More
