I feel like a was taken advantage of and robbed. First of all I have had so many issues with the vehicle I had purchased here, as well as while the vehicle was being fixed almost every time it felt First of all I have had so many issues with the vehicle I had purchased here, as well as while the vehicle was being fixed almost every time it felt like a fight to have it covered under warranty and or felt like the team didn’t believe me about some concerns. It was rare to get a loaner car to continue to go to work and handle my business. I believe that reed Buick is not handling their business well. I’ve had my motor replaced and after this service had leaks caused by the removal and install and they won’t own up to the matter and make things right. They overcharged for parts and or labor. $800 for a $200 or so OEM part and less than an hours worth of work for labor? That’s robbery. I have had numerous problems and hoped it’d get better and be resolved but didn’t workout that way. I would not recommend reed Buick to anyone. More
Scheduled an oil change and Missouri state inspection for Sat. Nov. 4th on Oct. 30th for my 2009 corvette (12,500 miles). Received 2 confirmation emails the day I made the appointment and one the day before Sat. Nov. 4th on Oct. 30th for my 2009 corvette (12,500 miles). Received 2 confirmation emails the day I made the appointment and one the day before serv. I arrived and was told they did not have an inspector there today, They only have inspectors there on alternating Sat. Needless to say the car does not get driven often and sits in the garage under a cover and on a battery tender and wiped down after every outing. They did say they could perform the oil change but would have to bring the car back for an Inspection. I would have thought they could have informed me of this in confirmation emails. Now i need to get it out again for inspection so I will find another dealer for my vehicle service. Waste of a sat morning and added miles to my car. More
Aug 2023. Over the last few months I was having problems with my truck and took it to reed for diagnostic and repair. First time taking it in it was diagnosed Over the last few months I was having problems with my truck and took it to reed for diagnostic and repair. First time taking it in it was diagnosed with a bad fuel injector which I had all 4 on the drivers side replaced a couple months before. Had the single fuel injector replaced to drive less than 100 miles and have the same problem appear. This time was the lifter, truck was misdiagnosed and costed me 900. Replaced the lifter at another dealership for much cheaper than the 3900 quote. Fast forward to present for a blown head gasket. Taken into shop and had head gasket replaced. Phil the service writer stated truck drives great and truck is fixed. No mileage was driven to test if head gasket was fixed. Drove truck for one day to have a brand new lifter that was replaced go bad. Reed had that whole side of engine off to replace head gasket and now is trying to charge me another 3900 to replace a brand new lifter with less than 200 miles that was working fine before the head gasket service. Seems like they don’t stand by their work and try to get as much money out of customers as they can. When asked to speak with service manager, was stated he’s busy and wouldn’t be able to until the next day. From being treated disrespectfully after paying over 4000 in service the past few months doesn’t sit well with me. There’s plenty of other dealerships with great people and techs. More
We took our GMC Acadia in for air conditioning problems in May 2023, now it’s the end of September and had to take it back in for the air conditioner. I paid of $2000 the first time, now they want another in May 2023, now it’s the end of September and had to take it back in for the air conditioner. I paid of $2000 the first time, now they want another $1000 (discounted) to fix the issue. This time the hose next to the catalytic converter was moved close enough for it to burn a hole in the hose. This is not a daily driver, from May until end of September there is roughly 2000 miles added. No accidents in that time period to explain maybe how it got moved. It’s awfully suspicious that a hose that is not supposed to move was moved. I was really hoping they would resolve this amicably, but the service manager thinks this is a good way to do business. Please note, I did not ask for anything free, I was willing to split the cost because I can’t prove the hose was moved during their first diagnosis. They have lost a long time customer, they chose the money and not the integrity of their service. Sad thing is the variance of what I wanted to pay to what they are charging is less than $500. So for Clint, the service manager who made the decision, hope it was worth it. More
A lesson in customer service “nots. ” I rarely write reviews, but this time enough is enough. Every time we take our vehicle in for service or inquire about a service price, it always en ” I rarely write reviews, but this time enough is enough. Every time we take our vehicle in for service or inquire about a service price, it always ends up being more than the price quoted for simple, run of the mill services. When my husband and I were in the dealership a couple months ago he asked a service advisor what the dealership charged for an oil change (with the filter) and to balance and rotate the tires. He was told just under $100. He also asked about a lifetime balance and rotation and was told it was available if the tires were bought and installed at the dealership (these were). Last week, when he set up an appointment to bring the truck in for service he again asked about the price and when he dropped it off this morning, the service rep read the ticket back to him and it was confirmed that every service item my husband wanted to be performed was in fact on the ticket. However, once the work was complete, the total bill came to over $200. Why? In reviewing the ticket, the oil, filter, tire rotation and balance was just over $140. My husband clarified with the service advisor that the quote was for just under $100 and the replied he received was, “That price doesn’t include balancing the tires.” Time out. He asked more than once about the cost and it’s clear someone misquoted the price, which things happen, but the proper way to handle a situation such as that is apologize and honor the price quoted. You should not expect your customers to eat your error as they may never had had you do the service knowing it was going to be that high. Unfortunately, it is a pattern there – it is always $20, $30 - $40 more. Additionally, my husband asked again about buying the lifetime balance and rotation warranty on the tires only to be told that service option isn’t and was never available. Why do we keep getting different answers to the same questions? It’s difficult to know what is correct or not at any given time. For Father’s Day I bought my husband a set of tailgate lights and pre-paid the labor cost to have them installed. He ended up installing them himself and the pre-paid installation was no longer needed, but it took over 3 months to get a refund. We had to drive up to the dealership twice, as directed by you, and then would get punted back to GM who affirmed the dealer does the install and therefore, received the payment for it – around and around we went. Guys, you really need to go back to the basics when it comes to working with your customers because as it were, if this is how you deal with things, it shows making a few extra bucks is more valuable than retaining your customers. This type of low level of service leaves you feeling taken advantage of and furious. It should not be this way. Today, my husband addressed the fact that we own/have owned multiple Acura’s, Toyota’s and Honda’s and the service issues he’s experienced with Reed GMC have never been an issue with those cars. The answer he received: “Well, maybe you should stick with foreign made cars.” Seriously??? He has nearly 30 years of GM band loyalty – maybe the issue isn’t foreign verses domestic. Maybe it’s one dealer verses others. We just took in my Acura MDX for it’s first oil change and tire rotation (all free) and the service advisor made no secret that anything less than a 100% perfect score on the service survey was a failure. This is our third Acura and we go back time and again for one simple reason - their service is excellent. You can learn do to better. More
