Sewell Lexus of Dallas

I was recently tasked with talking to Sewell Lexus about (2) extremely bad lease agreements made with the dealership, and subsequently, what, if anything, could be done. I have my answer as of this morning: (2) extremely bad lease agreements made with the dealership, and subsequently, what, if anything, could be done. I have my answer as of this morning: 2/16/2009, "absolutely nothing". The lease agreements were for (2) company vehicles. One was an RX 400h, and the other an RX 350. The RX 400h contract is for $914/month, and the RX 350 is for $775/month, which is ludicrous. They were written with 80,000 and 60,000 mileage terms for (48) months, which far exceed the 50,000 mile factory warranty. Who does that? No attempt was made in the beginning of the transaction to reduce the cap cost on either vehicle, and obviously nothing was done to make the monthly payments even remotely reasonable. I spoke with the GM there, and he pretty much said "too bad". When I told him he had lost two customers, he said "so what". Carl Sewell wrote a book on customer loyalty a while back. I guess those days are far behind them. These two lease agreements are a prime example of an overall lack of business ethics. The 400h was even a demo, and it was listed as such on the contract! I warn anyone who is about to do business with them, as they are truly sharks circling you in the water. More

After owning Mercedes Benz for 20 years, I went to Sewell Lexus out of sheer frustration trying to deal with Park Place Mercedes Benz. The exerience at Sewell was the best car buying experience I have every Lexus out of sheer frustration trying to deal with Park Place Mercedes Benz. The exerience at Sewell was the best car buying experience I have every had in my life. Even though there has been a snag or two along the way, Sewell Lexus has always made things right for me and done it in a friendly and professional way. In any human endeavor, things happen. Good people make things right when such things happen. I have never been to an auto dealership that is more committed to earning the business of their customer every day and everytime. I have recommended them highly to friends and family (and I have never done so for a car dealer before) and I look forward to doing business with them personally for many years to come. Thank you Andrew, Cooper, Dan and John. You continue to earn my business in your quest for me to be your "customer for life." More

People there are completely rude and snotty. I went there and they didn't even budge to help me out. I wouldn't recommend Park Place either because they are exactly the same. Better off buying a Lexus from a and they didn't even budge to help me out. I wouldn't recommend Park Place either because they are exactly the same. Better off buying a Lexus from a different state and have it shipped in. Its horrible having 4 Lexus dealers in DFW and having to only deal w/2 horrible businesses. More

First, regarding service, I took a brand new 2003 SC430 in for its first checkup at 1000 miles and when I came back to pick it up, the entire surface area of the vehicle (hood, roof, doors, trunk) was completely scratched. Apparently, when they washed the vehicle there was something in the bristles of the brushes that scrub the car that caused the damage. In any case, I didn't even receive an apology, but rather a simple, "we'll try to buff it out" from the service manager who acted like it wasn't a big deal at all. After bringing the car back out three times and still seeing scratches all over it, the service manager gave up on me and even tried to tell me that it was my imagination when they were all clearly visible.<br><br>I later had another terrible experience with the sales department when I went in to purchase a 2004 LS430. My salesman up until then had left the dealership, so I worked directly with the sales manager. Despite all the business I had given this dealership, I was patronized and treated with arrogance as the manager refused to take anything off the sticker price of the car. I then met with the general manager who tried to sit me down in his office and give me a lecture on how great his dealership was and why he didn't need to give me a discount on the vehicle, even if it meant losing me as a customer. Well that was all I needed to hear. In the end, I purchased the vehicle from Park Place, fed up with my experience at Sewell, for a couple thousand off MSRP the same day.<br><br>Unless you want arrogance, irresponsibility, and a lousy experience with both sales and service, don't waste your time. Stick to Park Place where I've had a far superior experience every time since. In sum, don't let the illusion of politeness when you walk in the door fool you into believing that this place is about anything more than making big money. More

The best dealership in the south. One of the best in the country! country! More
