Sands Chevrolet - Surprise

Outright lie or bait and switch - I am still not sure I followed up on the newspaper advertised price. First, I made sure car was on the lot, then, that I would qualify for discounts. I was assured both. I followed up on the newspaper advertised price. First, I made sure car was on the lot, then, that I would qualify for discounts. I was assured both. When I was there ( Surprise ) , I was told that one of the vehicles was at the Glendale lot. We made arrangements to meet the following day and Oscar the salesperson said he would have the car there. On the way to appointment, was told that I would have to buy from Glendale, they would honor the same discount. Note that the website still said the car was in Surprise ( it still does). The salesman in Glendale I was referred to never called back. I was out of town for work for a week and planned to buy on return if available. Now, I am told that the discounted price offered is no longer available because they moved from the new to pre-owned lot and the GM cash is no longer available. I did some checking, there was not GM cash offered in November 2019 on the 2018 models, new or used. I am very disappointed Sands. We will buy two new vehicles in the next 12 months (at least one this month). Neither will be from Sands. My friend who went with me to dealership will also be buying a new truck within the month. Again, not from Sands. Sands will waste your time. Be warned. More

Service department sucks and cant do a proper repair. Had to bring my truck back the next day because they installed the abs pump incorrectly. Came out the next day and my driveway was covered in fluid. Serv to bring my truck back the next day because they installed the abs pump incorrectly. Came out the next day and my driveway was covered in fluid. Service manager then tryed to say its probably not their repair. IT WAS and they screwed up. More

Worst. Experience. Ever. Bought new 2020 Traverse. It had a few factory defects in the paint that was on the “we owe” to fix. After 2.5 weeks of following up with them, I fina Bought new 2020 Traverse. It had a few factory defects in the paint that was on the “we owe” to fix. After 2.5 weeks of following up with them, I finally got it in to the shop. It’s been over a month and we still don’t have our new car back yet!!!! They said it was ready, we went there to pick it up, it looked worse than before. Their Glendale collision shop did a horrible job and I cannot believe they were going to give me the car back to me like that. I’ve had 5 different managers apologize, say they will follow up, call me on this day, send me emails. Nothing! Going directly to GM to try and find answers. More

Service department is the best I have been to multiple Chevrolet dealers In the past for service and had mediocre to terrible service. I called and set an appointment with Dan Simps I have been to multiple Chevrolet dealers In the past for service and had mediocre to terrible service. I called and set an appointment with Dan Simpson phone experience was great. went in to get an alignment on my truck after installing a lift and steering wheel leather was coming apart. While I was there Dan advised me of upcoming maintenance that I was aware of that was due in a couple hundred miles I assessed him and he passed my expectations so I told him let's get the maintenance done, just to give an idea of what this means to me... I am a ase certified automotive technician and typically do all my own maintenance and repairs just for peace of mind that I know I did it and was done to my expectations with that said he killed me with his professionalism kindness and knowledge all in one conversation. So I decided to bring my traverse in for a problem with it as well and got the exact same attitude and absolute great service from mr Dan Simpson. I thank you to sands Chevrolet and Dan for the great service and experience with the service department keep up the good work! More

COMPLETELY DROPPED THE BALL After spending a couple of hours and test driving a car, one I didn't even want because financing numbers were ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH on what I did want, After spending a couple of hours and test driving a car, one I didn't even want because financing numbers were ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH on what I did want,I left with the PROMISE of an email and phone call to discuss the other finance institution options...as it was past 5pm ( Eastern Stand Time) . No only was I not emailed or call back from either one of the sales person who helped me with my deal, or the actual sales manager, but after two days of dead silence I had to send an email to the dealership to complain to get some sort of response and help with my deal. After speaking to the customer service manager and explaining how unprofessional it was, he promised to call me back by the end of the day and leave a message with details of what was going on and why I was treated this way. Guess what? He didn't even call back and leave a message. Considering the fact that I've actually bought a car at this dealership before... which is exactly why I went there, I'm extremely angry and annoyed and insulted that this is how I was treated simply because I don't have Stellar credit or an enormous amount of cash to put down on a car. If this is how Sands Chevrolet treats people who are Working Class People dot-dot. Who have actually had a stroke and suffer from their credit being hit with huge medical bills... Then go anywhere else but Sands Chevrolet. Their behavior if you ask me, is not acceptable in any way, shape, or form. More

BEWARE OF THIS DEALERSHIP!!!!!!Q! BEWARE!!! The worst experience I`ve ever had hands down the sales manager by the name of Paul Waskom was by far the worst person I have ever encounter BEWARE!!! The worst experience I`ve ever had hands down the sales manager by the name of Paul Waskom was by far the worst person I have ever encountered, he was rude, talked down to me and obviously did not care. I do not know how this so called man is still employed there. After doing a little investigating I have found out that his employees do not like him but instead fear for there jobs and this is standard practice with him. I have numerous relatives and friends in the area and because of this incident I can guarantee none of them will ever visit this dealership More

Pleasantly surprised !! Purchased a 2007 Corvette with 7,000 miles out of state and drove 850 miles back to AZ with nearly zero service since new. Hearing strange sounds from Purchased a 2007 Corvette with 7,000 miles out of state and drove 850 miles back to AZ with nearly zero service since new. Hearing strange sounds from the rear, I took it to Sands in Surprise and met Ken Ashby, a seasoned Service Writer. We decide to change all fluids, align all 4 wheels and connect a battery tender connection. Ken knew a possible cause of the rear noise and offered dealer coupon pricing with a hand wash. When I picked it up, 2 services were missed. Ken made up for the error to my benefit. At this time, the rear end noise is gone as he predicted. Further, while the convertible was there overnight a severe hail storm occurred. My car was moved indoors averting damage. Needless to say, Ken earned my repeat business. If there was any negative, I would say the dealership online service appointment self scheduling program is a farce. I used it twice and in both cases it took much longer to have the car actually being serviced. Although the Lyff ride home was appreciated. Final thoughts to dealership: Make bottled water available to customers rather than hiding it & fix the large TV sound system then ask employees to not continually adjust sound up & down. Three and half hours of this while waiting is annoying. Thanks Ken, in my judgement, you are an outstanding employee working in my behalf. Lou More
