Everything has been very good and also very smooth. Things were done for me that I didn’t expect to be done. Very happy and would suggest them to everyone. Things were done for me that I didn’t expect to be done. Very happy and would suggest them to everyone. More
I initially stopped at service to show them what was going on but was told I had to schedule an appt, tech wouldn’t look at problem. Made an appt, problem was not resolved! Was told if it happens again going on but was told I had to schedule an appt, tech wouldn’t look at problem. Made an appt, problem was not resolved! Was told if it happens again to bring it in, which is what I initially did but no one would look at it. I complained and the tech looked for an update and found something, this should have been done at the first appt!! More
I had an issue with my radiator, namely the water pump had a metal tube that had a hole in it. This was seen by me and diagnosed by a radiator shop in PA where I live. The problem was that I work in Ohio had a metal tube that had a hole in it. This was seen by me and diagnosed by a radiator shop in PA where I live. The problem was that I work in Ohio and needed a local dealership to do the repair. I called into Parkway and the lovely person taking appts. set me up for a diagnosis. I gave her all of the infor she needed, but most of that was not relayed to the service dept. I was told this would take an hour, maybe 2 to get this diagnosis complete and call the warranty company to get approval for the repair. Then when I came in, I showed the guy at the desk the issue and explained it. Of course that was not explained correctly to the tech. This should have been a 1/2 hr. diagnosis. Instead, it took over 6 1/2 hours for the tech to run a full diagnostic and inspection. Mind you the vehicle was inspected in December. So after 6 1/2 hours the tech came back with a laundry list of things that I was not there to discuss, nor were they going to be covered by my warranty. Mostly, 2 filters ($150) and 2 burnt out lights ($1800 bc instead of replacing the bulb in the mirror they were going to replace the entire mirror (WTH). Then he wanted to change all of the hoses on the radiator and the thermostat bc the fluid in the radiator was cruddy. That is nice, but not covered and would have cost me over a grand out of pocket. So by the time I left they had not contacted the warranty company and gave me an estimated a bit of over 3 grand. Plus, I lost an entire day of work bc this is my only vehicle in Ohio. Then, once they figured out what was and was not covered they got back to me. Remember, I only went in for the radiator. They are great at trying to upsell you stuff that is not necessary to pass inspection and not what you came in for. I missed my appt on Tuesday and set an appt for thursday at 8:30. I was told it should take 4 hours. At 2:27 I got a text that the tech just now got to my vehicle but it would be ready at the end of the day between 5-6, so another whole day with out my truck. I could not get there and told them I would get it first thing in the morning. Got there at 8:45 and my vehicle was not ready for pick up, so again had to wait. Luckily only a half hour, bc the tech had not tested it out so it needed a road test. The issue was a radiator water pump. They can test them with a pressure pump to make sure no leaks, and if they needed to see if the thermostat was working it just needed to run til it was hot enough to engage the thermostat. If I ever have issues again, I guess I will have to drive out to Canton. If I had to buy another vehicle, it would not be here. If the service department can't give you good to excellent service, you can't expect the vehicle to be all that great. More
I have been purchasing cars from Parkway for many years. Always a great experience and am treated right. My salesman Tim Bickford does an exceptional job! Always a great experience and am treated right. My salesman Tim Bickford does an exceptional job! More
