Rainier Dodge

So I purchased a truck from Rainer Dodge three years ago and had custom heated seats installed. Something, I am not sure what occurred with my husband and his friend while buying an additional car. From the and had custom heated seats installed. Something, I am not sure what occurred with my husband and his friend while buying an additional car. From the jest of it, upset expectations and false hope. Blah Blah Blah. My husband received a very nice letter from Gene Johnson apologizing for the incident. Done right? Not even close, after years of receiving letters and phone calls from Casey Johnson ( the wonderful Mr. Gene's son) my seats stopped working after a friend vacuumed my truck. o on Tuesday this week an appointment was made, the seats were after market and an interesting install according to the wonderful mechanic that installed them. Today, which is Friday I received a phone call from service stating they would not service my truck and to contact management. I called in and after a bit of run around and a second phone call I was able to speak with Casey Johnson. He informed me that he would not service my truck or do any business with my family. This was most confusing after receiving at least monthly requests for business and a letter requesting my husbands Challenger with the included offer of a steak dinner to do business again. It seemed to me that the events of the past were water under the bridge considering the numerous mailings and phone calls. I just wanted my seats fixed, I was in a bad accident and it is agony to drive without heat. Not to mention my husband, a combat wounded veteran of the armed forces recently had his spine fused and sustained a cord injury as a result. With numerous trips to the Seattle VA, heat for the trip is a must. Yeah I could drive his Challenger and I have, however my beast makes me feel safe and is far easier for him to get in. I thought about the mailings, phone calls and letter from Gene and decided to call back and speak with him. Gene that is, I had waited with my info on the books all week and did not understand why I was not contacted earlier in the week if there was in fact an issue. I spoke with the receptionist Josie and asked for Gene Johnson, I was transferred back to Casey who pretended to be his father. Really!? I had to simply hang up. How pathetic. We had referred numerous friends and family members to purchase vehicles from Rainer Dodge, not cheap ones either. My friend bought two Chargers from them and had expensive amenities added. Another purchased two vehicles with cash outright, the third a Charger. Love for Mopar is contagious. I had continued to refer people their way. I was happy with my truck and believe in giving credit where credit is due. I cannot even recall the number of random dudes that admired my truck and asked where they could get one like it. I have no choice but to stop that today, I am appalled at Casey's behavior and I feel bad for his father. I had nothing to do with whatever went down, didn't even truly know what happened. If it was anything like the sorry impersonation that Casey did of his father today and the attached phone games and antics I now understand my husbands anger. I used to be that voice saying, we bought a lot from Rainer Dodge and let's give them another chance. WOW, not sure what else to say. More

in 2012 took my truck in for a/c repair. was told by gillis dodge in Shelton that evaporator was bad. after talking to a friend about gillis ,decided to take it to rainier. told them to replace broken d gillis dodge in Shelton that evaporator was bad. after talking to a friend about gillis ,decided to take it to rainier. told them to replace broken door also since they had to pull dash out to get to evap coil. they called and said I had a bad compressor also. i authorized the repair. but the first compressor the installed was bad and had to be replaced. had no need for a/c for many months. summer gets here and go on vacation to glacier national park.as soon as we get over to eastern wa turned on a/c and nothing happens. temp in 90s and no a/c. stopped and purchased 134 kit and added .lasted less than 2 days. returned to dealer upon return and told it had a leak at the compressor, but they didn't have the parts (o rings) and to return in 2 days. returned they repaired it no charge. we went to moses lake for family reunion the following week.

WE BEGAN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS DEALERSHIP BY LEAVING OUR 2000 DODGE DAKOTA TRUCK HERE WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION. THEY CALLED TO TELL US THAT OUR TRUCK NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHEN WE RETURNED FROM VA OUR 2000 DODGE DAKOTA TRUCK HERE WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION. THEY CALLED TO TELL US THAT OUR TRUCK NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHEN WE RETURNED FROM VACATION TO PICK UP THE TRUCK, WE DECIDED TO BUY A NEW ONE AND KEEP OUR OLD ONE FOR OUR DAUGHTER. FIRST THE DODGE DAKOTA, DID NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AS WE WERE TOLD BUT WHEN WE FOUND THIS OUT, WE HAD ALREADY BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE RAM 1500. WE NOTICED SOME NOISES IN THE REAR END AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR SERVICE DEPT DO A FULL INSPECTION OF THE TRUCK IF WE BOUGHT IT. THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD COME UP WITH SOME THINGS TO FIX SO WE RETURNED A FEW DAYS LATER TO HAVE THE TRUCK SERVICED. THEY HAD TRIED TO SELL US A WARRANTY BUT WE HAD AT FIRST DECLINED THEN ANOTHER PERSON TALKED US INTO BUYING THE WARRENTY, WHICH I BELIEVE IS DUE TO THEM KNOWING THIS TRUCK HAS MAJOR ISSUES. AFTER HAVING THIS TRUCK IN THEIR SHOP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR NOISES THAT THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT, WE BROUGHT IT OVER THE PASSES. ON OUR WAY BACK IT MADE A WHINING NOISE ALL THE WAY HOME AND WE HAD A TOW TRUCK TOW IT TO THEM THE NEXT DAY. THEY HAD THE TRUCK FOR 6 DAYS WHEN WE GOT IT BACK IT HAD ANOTHER ISSUE IN THE FRONT END THAT THEY WOULD OF NOTICED IF THEIR SERVICE TECHNICIAN HAD OF TEST DROVE THE TRUCK AFTER DOING THE WORK BUT THEY DIDNT. THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION AT THIS DEALERSHIP, I HAD TO KEEP CALLING THEM FOR AN UPDATE DAY AFTER DAY WITH NO ANSWERS OR MUCH OF AN UPDATE. WHEN WE REALIZED THEIR WAS AN UNRESOLVED ISSUE WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO A DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS DEALERSHIP IS CROOKED AND THAT THEY KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK WHEN THEY SOLD IT TO US. FIGURED IF THEY SOLD US A WARRANTY THEY WOULD BE IN THE CLEAR. THE LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. More

Took our Dodge Sprinter RV there to check and fix "check engine" light that stayed on. Tried a couple of things. Didn't work. So had to do the "expensive thing" (injector)... $3600 later we picke "check engine" light that stayed on. Tried a couple of things. Didn't work. So had to do the "expensive thing" (injector)... $3600 later we picked the vehicle up. Engine light came back on a few miles out. 5 miles down the road it STALLED while driving on the freeway. (It had never stalled on us before.) Expensive; they didn't fix the problem; now it stalls. I will not entrust my vehicle to them again. >S More

I would never buy a car from here. Ever. Want to know how they make all their money? One of the salesmen told me how they find out the prices on all of the used cars after i kept pushing about the price of a they make all their money? One of the salesmen told me how they find out the prices on all of the used cars after i kept pushing about the price of a car. If you look at the sticker on the windshield the bottom number will say something like 91 or 23 or whatever. That number reversed is what the price is so if the sticker says 72, then they are selling it for 27,000.00 When you ask the salesmen how much the car is they will tell you its like a few thousand dollars more than that. The truth is the dealership paid a lot less for the car than what they are trying to sell for so pretty much when they give you a bogus price they are just trying to take money from you. As for the new cars, when i asked the sales guy he said that the selling price is the "second sticker" which is nothing but pure profit for them. what they actually paid for the car and what it actually should be is about 2,000 less than the MSRP price. They keep trying to rip people off so I'd never buy anything from them. More

If you disagree with their so called assessment of work needed, and you go above their head to demand the proper work done on your vehicle, they will REFUSE further notice to you....only guilty individuals needed, and you go above their head to demand the proper work done on your vehicle, they will REFUSE further notice to you....only guilty individuals treat others with disrespect!! DO NOT take your vehicle here for any work, unless you want somebody to charge you for new parts, and use old ones off of their shelves out in the back "supply room!" More

This is the third car we have purchased from Rainier Dodge and they never cease to amaze me with their customer service and fair sales. I was actually going to purchase a different brand from another d Dodge and they never cease to amaze me with their customer service and fair sales. I was actually going to purchase a different brand from another dealership and was treated so poorly and they trade to rip me off. I was so mad and decided I needed to go back to Rainier Dodge where I knew they would be fair and do everything possible to get me into the vehicle I wanted. I ended up driving off in a brand new Charger with all the extras I wanted for a very fair price. All the staff members have a positive attitude and don't try to force you into something you don't want and they treat you with respect. I cannot recommend Rainier Dodge and their team to people enough. It is very rare to find a dealership that treats you right from the day of purchase, through every service visit to the parts department. I enjoy every visit and someone always takes the time to see how we are doing and if everything is right with our car. Thank you More

They did front end replacement as well as ball joints and u joints and never aligned my truck (but they billed my war billed my warranty company for. They did front end replacement as well as ball joints and u joints and never aligned my truck (but they billed my warranty company for an alignment)! $1500 worth of brand new toyo Mud Terrains shot after 20k miles. Needless to say BBB and the Attorney Generals office have been contacted. Rainier Dodge trying to say they are not at fault. More
