beware bait and switch in service department I wish I could post less than a star. Over a month ago I took my 2009 Jeep Patriot with the lifetime powertain warranty here for a check engine light. I wish I could post less than a star. Over a month ago I took my 2009 Jeep Patriot with the lifetime powertain warranty here for a check engine light. I had already pulled the code and knew the issue to be with my Intake manifold. I was told they needed to diagnose it anyways. OK no big deal. So I make an appointment and drop it off. About an hour and a half later I get a call from the service department. Yes there is a problem with the intake manifold and they will get it fixed. It is covered under my Lifetime warranty and no problems there. He then proceeds to try and sell me a new radiator cap, Fuel injector cleaning, spark plugs, and a new battery for $700.00. I politely declined as I do my own plugs, a radiator cap is 10 dollars and I had a battery on order already. Just fix the main problem please. Again told no problem. About 2 hours later they call me again. I figure my Jeep is ready. They inform me oh by the way now it is not covered under warranty and it is going to cost me over $300 to repair it. At this point I have been woken up twice and my vehicle isn't even done. Also I need it to be done by 4pm so I can go to work. I work nights and that is why I made an appointment for when they open and dropped it off as they opened. I tell him just fix it so I can go to work in a couple hours. I return to Perkins at 4pm I pay the fees and get my truck back. 2 Days later I receive an email survey. I convey this entire story on it and am told by their online system I will get a call back to discuss why I am unhappy. Yeah I never heard a thing from them. So now I am posting my reviews online to get the word out. Perkins will pull a bait and switch in their service department. From now on I will take the Jeep to Pueblo or Denver. Maybe there I will get true honest service from a dealer who actually cares about their customers. More
Terrible Experience The funny thing about customer service is that you can mandate all the automatic emails and follow-up phone calls that attempt to show that you care a The funny thing about customer service is that you can mandate all the automatic emails and follow-up phone calls that attempt to show that you care about the customer, but in the end, they mean nothing unless each and every one of your employees understands and actually believes in its purpose. The employees at this dealership could clearly care less about the customer, and I'm not sure if that is a result of the high volume of sales that give them a perception that it doesn't matter or if the management is simply very poor. Perkins needs to realize that although they sell products, a majority of what they do is provide a service, and If they don't provide that service well, they will lose customers. In our experience, they lost the potential for a lifetime customer because they failed miserably in servicing our vehicle, displaying any sense of urgency in fixing the problem, and after threatening to leave the dealer and sell the vehicle, they did absolutely nothing to show that they wanted to retain our business and prevent a total loss. If I ever choose to get back into one of the brands they sell, it will undoubtedly be with another dealer! If you are writing a positive review about them, wait until you have an issue with your vehicle. I believe that there is a strong possibility that you will retract your review. You have been warned... More
Execellent Customer Service with Scott Matela My Jeep was acting up again and just happened to dump into Scott Matela and told him how I was "just thinking" about buying a new car; Scott was so su My Jeep was acting up again and just happened to dump into Scott Matela and told him how I was "just thinking" about buying a new car; Scott was so supportive in helping me find the right vehicle for my needs and income. Drove off with a new car and completely happy with my choice. Thank you Scott for all your time and effort in helping me make the right choice. I will refer all my friends and family to Perkins Motor Dealership and make sure they request Scott Matela. Gloria A Rooth More

Incompetence The staff is very unprofessional and way below average on customer service for a service department. I'll never, ever, ever take my 2014 Dodge Charger The staff is very unprofessional and way below average on customer service for a service department. I'll never, ever, ever take my 2014 Dodge Charger there again. Daniella and Jared were the best they have along with Jack the shuttle driver. They will loose your keys and paperwork. BEWARE!! More
Overall experience with purchase and repair of 07 ram 2500 Initially I called and spoke with "Robert Perkins" on a warranty repair for a throwout bearing, he stated several times that the repair was covered un Initially I called and spoke with "Robert Perkins" on a warranty repair for a throwout bearing, he stated several times that the repair was covered under my warranty. Get the truck up there and they get it tore apart and he says it is not covered under warranty, and the repair is going to cost $2,000 at the very max. He calls back again in 2 days and says the repair is now at $3,200 because of other parts being bad supposedly. He then calls for a 3rd time the day after and says the total is $3,700. So i go to get the truck and the staff wasn't very friendly at all, and I was told that "Robert Perkins" hadn't been at the dealership for 2 weeks so apparently I was speaking with a ghost. Overall the experience with this dealership has been awful. Their "inspections" aren't worth two cents because the truck broke down the same night i bought it about an hour off the lot. They haven't treated me, as a customer returning my business, with any respect since I left the lot with this truck. I would advise anyone and everyone looking for vehicles or repairs to steer clear of this dealership. They are liars. More
Wow My intial interaction with Perkins Service department was good, they were courteous and quick and did a good job getting me in and out. However my las My intial interaction with Perkins Service department was good, they were courteous and quick and did a good job getting me in and out. However my last three times haven't been as good. My 2012 Grand Cherokee had a slow leak in one of the tires, and by slow it lost 20 psi when sitting for a month, and also would drop 10 psi overnight whenever the weather would get cold. The first visit to address the problem they checked the wrong tire, second visit for an oil change, recall work and for the same problem they "checked" and found no leaks, I decided to change two tires, one of which was the one with the leak. I request they change the back two tires and rotate them up front and put the front ones in the back.In the middle of my +4 hour wait, I was informed that one of my wheels was bent. They completed the work and showed me the service report which showed the bent wheel being on the left front, I asked if that's where it was orginally but the technician had left for lunch so the service rep (Kristi Allen, who was the only bright point in my whole experience, she was quick and always managed to relay info when it was needed) said she would email me when the tech came back. She did so promptly when she found the answer, which according to the tech was that it was taken off from the left front position and put back on the left front position...yet somehow it had a new tire on it which I find interesting since how can you rotate the tire and wheel from the back to the front when it supposedly never left the front. Called back the next day and magically now tech said the wheel moved from the left rear to the left front. Will not be returning to the Service center nor will I recommend this location to anyone else. More
Service was good parts was good, sales person was a bit pushy on the truck trying get the truck sold as soon as possible not thinking the bank works only so fast. After we told it would a few days possibly pushy on the truck trying get the truck sold as soon as possible not thinking the bank works only so fast. After we told it would a few days possibly longer depending on how fast the paper would go threw. Was more concerned with dealer rater after the sale, called 3 to 4 times not sure exact number of times on the truck trying to get sold as fast as possible. Called the bank and they wouldn't pick up the phone on it from the dealer only me or my dad. Other than that the process was easy the staff was nice helpful and such just need get the truck finished with the extra stuff. More

I went in to service my Jeep, after being towed in and talked to Darryl Champion about used pick up trucks. Darryl went out of his way to ensure that I had my needs met in what my price, wants, requireme talked to Darryl Champion about used pick up trucks. Darryl went out of his way to ensure that I had my needs met in what my price, wants, requirements were (he really listened). Darryl showed me used pickups and new pick ups, knowing my situation, he did everything he could to work with me and to make sure that I was getting the best deal possible. I ended up buying a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 pick up truck. Darryl also went above and beyond to make sure my requirements were met, and my wants. Darryl set up the truck to get the tow package, and worked with me in getting the best financing available. Perkins Dodge/Jeep has earned my business, and referrals. Again, thank You Darryl for your Outstanding Customer Service, and you patience, and commitment to getting me the best deal! I love my Dodge Truck!! More
