I wanted to add bluetooth to my 2010 Challenger. I was an auto mechanic and parts man many years ago so I am entitled to be a bit critical. I was evacuated due to the Wallow fire in eastern Arizona and while auto mechanic and parts man many years ago so I am entitled to be a bit critical. I was evacuated due to the Wallow fire in eastern Arizona and while I was in Phoenix I called the dealer closest to my hotel. They said 6 weeks for the part! I went online and found that Avondale Dodge had the part in stock. Being leery from the poor price and cluelessness from my local Dodge dealer in the White mountains, I researched the part number. The part Avondale had was the newest one and the parts man verified this. Big plus for Avondale parts. I purchased the part. I was ready to install it myself and pay my local clueless Dodge service department to program the ECM later. I figured they would have trouble screwing that up. I asked the Avondale Dodge service writer if they could install it. The new Chrysler system requires that the ECM be programmed or Uconnect (bluetooth), will not work, otherwise I would do it myself. This is not something anyone other than a Chrysler dealer can do. My unhappiness about this is another matter. I was told that they could install it right away. Another plus. I asked if the mechanic had done this before and he said many times. Another plus for Avondale Dodge. Less than an hour later, it was done! No pain, quicker than quoted and a better price than quoted. Another plus for Avondale Dodge. I do not know if this is common for Avondale Dodge, but being a mechanic years ago makes me critical. You all know that this level of service is not common. I believe that any company that under-promises and over-performs deserves a great review, so here it is. More
In short: I purchased an 07 Charger RT; worst thing I ever did... In service 12 times in 3 months and continues... I am discontinuing to pay for at this time... Horrible in every aspect.... Check engin ever did... In service 12 times in 3 months and continues... I am discontinuing to pay for at this time... Horrible in every aspect.... Check engine light twice; check gas cap twice; front end coming apart; brakes squeaking and continue still to this day with 80% left in life "they say".. Absolutely a bad decision all the way around.... Buy Chevrolet from Van Chevrolet if you wanna be treated right and get a long lasting vehicle.... More
Bought Journey 09, almost 2 1/2 years ago. Never told me that the car was assembled in Mexico and used 75% parts made from there as well. Problem after 3 weeks, engine light turns on. 1 week later winds that the car was assembled in Mexico and used 75% parts made from there as well. Problem after 3 weeks, engine light turns on. 1 week later windshield wiper malfunction, turns on with the switch being off! It took 2 weeks to fix it. They also had to replaced the black trimming on the car because it was getting bubbles from inside out. The brake pads had to be replaced under 25k miles by my choice and preference of mechanic (not the dealership)mechanic said it was a cheap brand. Now i had to leave the car at the service dept on Friday 9/10/10 because they couldnt fix the front passenger window (not working)! I got a call the next day 9/11/10 and told me to bring my remote lock key and also told me that hey have figured out the problem. But as soon as i got there, my service advisor told me that it was not fixed and had to leave the car till Monday. (Keep in mind that I live about 40+ miles from the dealership). Brad told me that the technician with 30+ experienced was working on it but still couldnt figure out the problem. They have to wait till Monday (9/13/10) to call the star coporate technical service support for help. The car has a little over 25k miles on it but yet it felt like an old used car after with all these problems occuring. One more thing, just found out that the battery is located underneath the wiring module and among other things in the way. You have to take the tire out to to replace the battery! This will be a pain and a lot of labor just to replace the battery!!! That's it for now until next time :-( More
My daughter and I went in to purchase vehicles. She choosed a brand new dodge ram and I choosed a Chrysler 300 used. To start..we had our discussion about price and interest rates. I thought we were ve choosed a brand new dodge ram and I choosed a Chrysler 300 used. To start..we had our discussion about price and interest rates. I thought we were very clear up front and they lead us to believe that what we said for was a done deal. After my Chrysler was damaged by salesman..I picked out another. They said everything would be the same price wise. My daughter and I drove off the lot with out new cars and happy with the payments. This was Sept 1, 2010. I get a call Sept 8, 2010 that there is a problem both me and my daughter had to come down to the dealership. I guess they have you drive the car a week and get you back in for the bait and switch finale. I was the worst experience I ever had with a dealership. Trust me..if you decide to do business with this dealership (avondale Dodge arizona) bring your own vaseline. My daughter and I left without our vehicles, after a week of loving our cars. Most people would buy the bait in switch after having the cars for a week. Sadly we didn't and left very very very unhappy. More
I went to this dealership with the intent of trading my 08 charger on a new 09 journey and was outraged at the rip off they were trying to pull. first of all i understand that only having my car for a year 08 charger on a new 09 journey and was outraged at the rip off they were trying to pull. first of all i understand that only having my car for a year, there will be some negative equity involved, but my car is a limited edition one of only 2300 produced by dodge and it books for $21,000 on KBB just counting the features not counted the special edition. they offered me $15,000 for my car and when i asked them why the value was so low and mentioned the KBB value they "raised" its value but said i would still have the same amount of negative to carry over. Do they think people are really that stupid? like i don't know how to do fifth grade math. i had called ahead of time and talked to one salesman on the phone and made an appointment with him to go look at a new car and had explained the whole trade to him and he said i would have no trouble trading for what i wanted. when i walked up this young kid asked if he could help me, when i told him i had an appointment with David Brueck, he acted like he didn't know a David like i must have gotten the name wrong even though i had wrote it down and the man on the phone had even spelled it for me! but he was willing to "help" i was there for a little over two hours, filled out a credit report they never ran, and got low balled on my car that they never looked up the value of and ended up walking out because they were completly unhelpful and not good sales people. right before i left, this other charicter who was a sales manager tried to come "help" us, and by help us i mean was trying to get us to put another more than $5000 down on top of what we were already putting down and our trade in value. this AJ kid, and i only know his name cause i saw it on the sales quote he handed me, not cause he introduced himself. He was more interested in telling me about his car and doing burn outs in the cars setting on the lot and his girlfriend then he was about helping us get into a new vehicle. i have bought several new cars over the last few years and this was the most rediculous joke of a dealership i had ever been two and to be honest will never go back, not ever, not even for service on my current vehicle- wich they overcharged for anyway. dodge should really consider taking away their five star rating because i have been to used car lots and have never been tried to be taken to the cleaners this bad. i like dodge but i will not go back to this dealership, i would rather drive farther to the next one down the road then to go back to these clowns. the other dodge dealership i deal with out of state, wich by the way i am not from here, is always more than eager to have you trade in and give you top dollar for your pre owned dodge, these people asked me if i really wanted to trade or if i wasn't sure if maybe i just wanted to but a second car and keep my old one. they are rediculous.

I had the worst car sales experience at Avondale Dodge that I have ever had. Think of a shady sales tactic, and this place used it! During my visit I had no less than FOUR salesmen try to work our sale. W that I have ever had. Think of a shady sales tactic, and this place used it! During my visit I had no less than FOUR salesmen try to work our sale. We had an opener, a negotiater, a closer, and then a "good guy" come in at the end to try and smooth over the mess that the "closer" made of the deal. Unfortunately for them, they just couldn't patch things up with us. These salesmen literally offer you things, allow you time to think it over and talk about it (we were there for 7 hours), and when you have finally reached your decision and decided to buy the car...the salesmen "suddenly" realize that they just can't give you the deal that they were originally promising you. Isn't this bait and switch? We sat down at the desk to tell them we would take the car, and the salesmen went back on the deal! They went back several stages in the price negotiating and blamed it on a miscommunication (higher price, less options). It's funny, too, because LITERALLY 2 minutes before they "SUDDENLY" realized that they were going to take back the deal, the salesman was up at the car pressuring us to take it, telling us what a great deal it was. Isn't this the age-old car salesman trick-- get the customer's heart set on the car, and then change the deal? I guess if this dealership is going to have "communication" problems, it shouldn't assign so many salesmen to a single sale. Our 3rd salesmen (a sales manager) raised his voice at us, was rude to us, and spoke to us in a very rude manner. We walked away from this sale and from this dealership because of the way we were treated and because of the dishonesty. We just felt like dirty deals were going on here and that nothing good would come from purchasing our car here. Luckily for us, we went to Performance Dudge in Glendale the next day and got the same car at a lower price from honest people! Yes! More
I took a trade that was valued at $17,900 they gave me 6,000 for it and turned around and sold it for $26,000 the following weekend. Do not go to them at all for anything, they will RIP YOU OFF! 6,000 for it and turned around and sold it for $26,000 the following weekend.
