This is my third car purchased from Sewell in 16 years, and I will no longer recommend them. I sold my old Yukon to Auto Trader for TWICE what they would pay for it, and when I asked the salesman about th and I will no longer recommend them. I sold my old Yukon to Auto Trader for TWICE what they would pay for it, and when I asked the salesman about the discrepancy in price, he told me that the dealership had to make up cash in the used department because they weren't making enough in the new sales department. A friend of mine bought a car from James Wood in Decatur on June 29th, and his salesman taught him about the wireless features in the car (that he then showed me). Even though he bought his car 6 weeks after mine, he received his license plate before me. When I called Sewell about my license plate (now 3 months after purchase), the receptionist told me they had it and did not have a policy of calling anyone to let them know it was there. During the sale, I kept making excuses in my mind for the salesman thinking that perhaps he was inexperienced or that the pandemic had made their lives difficult, but the level of service I have received then and since then, the different times I corrected his mistake assuming it was because he was young and now I wonder if it is part of a change in corporate philosophy has caused me to decide to take the time to write this review. Don't go to Sewell expecting to be treated fairly without having to fight for it as you would with another dealer. If you want to be honesty and a forthcoming dealership where they will call you back and remember the previous conversation they had with you, I would call James Wood in Decatur. More
It was an easy and enjoyable experience. The vehicle was as advertised and they delivered the car to our house based on our schedule. The vehicle was as advertised and they delivered the car to our house based on our schedule. More

He kept trying to sell me a car I had not looked at and did not want. Long story short I ended up purchasing a 2019 XT5 from Frank Kent on the west side of Fort Worth. More power to the folks in the Sewell ads who say they will never drive any but a Sewell. That was certainly not my experience. I refused to reveal names of anyone I spoke with. Best Regards More
WASTED MY TIME!!! I called Sewell (because of the great reviews) and spoke to a Mr. Oswaldo. I explained to him I was calling about a service bulletin/recall/extended service on a issues with the transmiss reviews) and spoke to a Mr. Oswaldo. I explained to him I was calling about a service bulletin/recall/extended service on a issues with the transmission shifting bad. I gave him the last 8 of the VIN to my wife's 2016 GMC Yukon XL Denali. He stated that the VIN matched a possible problem with the transmission harness. He didn't ask me if there were any faulty codes or check engine lights. Told me to come in and that they would do a complete "diagnostic test". I was just out of work and 20 minutes away. My wife drove 45 minutes from Waxahachie to make it in before they closed at 7 PM. We arrived at 6:45 PM. We met a not so happy to see us, Mr. Bailey. Mr. Bailey's body language told us he wasn't too eager to help us find a solution to our problem from the beginning. I explained to him why we were there. Mr. Bailey began nodding his head and just searched his tablet. Asked if there were any check engine lights and I told him no. Mr. Bailey stated if there are no codes, they can't do anything. We've read hundreds of issues with other GM customers who experience the same issues with no codes. Mr. Bailey asked us a couple of questions about how the vehicle was shifting. Told him that it shifted horribly and reiterated that was the reason why we were there. He asked my wife (mother of our 4 kids) if she drives it aggressively. She responded she drives it normally. His response was, "if you don't drive it like you stole it, it won't shift right". Really Mr. Bailey? GM made these transmissions to shift correctly only if you drive in that unsafe manner? Mr. Bailey continued to state that he has never seen a transmission get rebuilt because of these related issue. For some reason, Mr. Bailey may have been under the impression that I would be impressed on his 20 years of knowledge with these particular issue. I didn't know that they made these 8L90e transmission 20 years ago. Really sir? Mr. Bailey continued to state that GM wouldn't do "sh!+" about it in front of my wife's presence. Unacceptable language in front of the misses. Please keep in mind that during 90% of this conversation he was leaning and resting his elbow on my wife's side view mirror as if he was relaxing at a barbecue. All we came for was a diagnostics and didn't receive anything but wrong information and horrible customer service. We were rushed out of there and were out by 7 PM (closing time). How convenient for Mr. Bailey. No apology from Mr. Bailey. Just walked off without saying a word. WOW! We have to drive 45 minutes back to our hotel and made our week even worse. (My pipes busted in my house during winter storm and under repair. No water) Way better service at Park Place. Mr. Bailey needs to brush up on proper etiquette More

Although I purchased elsewhere, great experience! I looked at several vehicles at Sewell, ranging from a 2010 Acadia to a 2017 Enclave. I ended up purchasing my dream vehicle elsewhere simply because I looked at several vehicles at Sewell, ranging from a 2010 Acadia to a 2017 Enclave. I ended up purchasing my dream vehicle elsewhere simply because it wasn't available on any of Sewell's many lots at the time. However, I can't tell you how awesome and professional the staff here was. On the 2010 my sales guy OFFERED to replace the break pads and provide a second key and key fob on a 9 year old vehicle! I ended up purchasing a 2016 from a different dealer and they wouldn't replace the worn tires of provided a second key. All that you've heard about the Sewell experience is true!! Looking to spend your time and money at a credible dealership, this is it! More

This is my first GMC purchase. I purchased my Terrain in Amarillo, TX and shortly after I was experiencing an engine noise, like a knocking noise. I brought my Terrain in several times to the Panhandle deal Amarillo, TX and shortly after I was experiencing an engine noise, like a knocking noise. I brought my Terrain in several times to the Panhandle dealerships to be dismissed every time. This was so frustrating because the vehicle only had 8,000 mile on it. During Spring Break I decided since I would be in the Dallas area I would drop my Terrain off at Sewell GMC where I was approach by Justin Townsend. I voiced my concerns and addressed the knocking noise. Mr. Townsend reassured me he would figure out the problem. Mr. Townsend provided me with a loaner vehicle and always made sure I had everything I needed. I ended up taking Sewell GMC's loaner vehicle back to Amarillo while my Terrain was still being fixed. After a few days it was determined that my engine needed to be replaced in my Terrain. Mr. Townsend was more than willing to send his staff on an 8 hour drive to return my Terrain to me and then have his staff drive their loaner vehicle back to Dallas. I have nothing but outstanding things to say about Sewell GMC. The customer service Justin Townsend, Head Technician, and management provided me is truly unheard of. They were prompt, efficient, over the top accommodating and so willing and eager to make this a hassle free experience for me. After this experience I know with the utmost confidence I will continue to take my business to Sewell GMC; and recommend them to everyone I know. More
