Van Chevrolet

If you value honesty, your time, and your safety, avoid Van Chevrolet at all costs. I drove over 3.5 hours from Northwest Arkansas after speaking with Herschel McWilliams, the Sales Director. He assured Van Chevrolet at all costs. I drove over 3.5 hours from Northwest Arkansas after speaking with Herschel McWilliams, the Sales Director. He assured me the 2022 Tesla was “like new,” saying it was traded in by one of their technicians. I even bought insurance ahead of time to be able to drive it home. When I arrived, the reality was shocking: • The rims were completely scratched. • One tire was dangerously damaged and unsafe to drive. • The car was filthy inside and out. • It had a previous life as a rental vehicle — never disclosed. • It had been in a moderate accident — also never disclosed. Their sales tactics are incredibly shady. Instead of being transparent, they pressured me to put down a credit card deposit, claiming “several people were interested,” just to lock me into the deal. This is NOT how a reputable dealership should operate — especially under the leadership of their Sales Director. Buyers beware. I highly recommend staying far away from Van Chevrolet. More

I went to Van Cadillac to look at a car I seen online. Megan was our salesperson,she stated the car I wanted to see was in Smithville getting windows tinted. We looked around the lot for xt4 sport Cadilla Megan was our salesperson,she stated the car I wanted to see was in Smithville getting windows tinted. We looked around the lot for xt4 sport Cadillacs. I saw one I really liked so she went in and got the key to unlock it. I sat in the car, started it up and loved it. We went back to her desk and filled out some paperwork. She wanted us to trade in our older xt4 sport. She took the paperwork to Shawn. The three of us w3nt back outside and looked over the car again. When I came in Shawn approached me with his offer in which I declined, he then renogiated and said this is today only price. I accepted the new offer, shook hands and signed paperwork at Megan’s desk. We cleaned out my car, removed my tags and the finance manager came out side and introduced himself while we were transferring everything from my car to our new car.We even set in the car and subscribed to on-star(which had to have the vehicle vin# in order to set us up)Everything’s going fine at this point! We went inside to the finance managers office to finalize the transaction. 3.5 hrs later we were on way home with our new car. We received a phone call 10 min later from Shawn stating we need to come back because we have the wrong key fob(I already have a xt4 so I know how this works, it would have never started the car to begin with)which was in itself suspicious. We came back to the dealership and Shawn met us in the parking lot, stating that this is NOT the car he had been negotiating and that we needed to give him an extra 8000.00. This seems like a bait and switch operation going on at this establishment. We declined obviously and left with our old vehicle. I figured they would call us the next day to give us an explanation as to how this could happen! I find it utterly amazing that 4 people were all on the same car except SHAWN. We never heard a word. I would highly recommend you stay clear of this dealership, there are plenty more Cadillac dealers in the area. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!, More

My husband and I were in Kansas City and found a 2010 Honda Odyssey that we wanted to purchase at Van Subaru. We found it online Sunday but they weren’t open till Monday morning. We decided to stop when Honda Odyssey that we wanted to purchase at Van Subaru. We found it online Sunday but they weren’t open till Monday morning. We decided to stop when driving by Sunday and saw no sold signs on the vehicle compared to other ones with signs stating they were sold. We decided to book a hotel for the night so we could go first thing Monday morning because we were so interested. We cancelled an appointment and called in for work so we could purchase the car in the morning. We showed up at Van Subaru at 07:30 in morning to be there first thing when opened. When workers showed up we inspected the car and even test drove it. It was perfect for us considering I am expecting in a few weeks and we need a big vehicle for our family. We signed all the paperwork with our salesman and watched him write “SOLD” on the key tags in front of us. We then completed some paperwork in the finance office to purchase the car with a CASH purchase but as we were finishing up we were interrupted. Our salesman came in saying he got a call from the “general manger Ryan” from Van Chevrolet in Kansas City stating “He sold the vehicle Saturday night after hours to a women who was coming from Arkansas to get the vehicle.” After us questioning it with us already filling out all the paper work and us being able to provide the payment right then before the other person the only thing they could say was that this general manger Ryan “calls the shots”. He did not come over to talk to us in person to explain the situation or apologize for the wasted time. Instead he had co-workers do it for him. My husband had to walk over to the Van Chevrolet to speak directly to him. He never stood up out of his chair, offer a handshake or any type of real apology. He made statements like “Who drives 4 hours to buy a car on a whim” “Why didn’t you make an appointment”. Instead of even attempting to make the situation right. He tried to put the blame on us the customers and took no responsibility for his mistake of “selling the vehicle” but apparently not telling anyone else or marking it as sold. Worst customer service from the “general manager”. More

I could never get a cash price and the price advertised was very deceptive only good if you finance thru then got 5 emails from 5 different people and could never get an answer it appeared that all were AI was very deceptive only good if you finance thru then got 5 emails from 5 different people and could never get an answer it appeared that all were AI and never a real person. Would not recommend that dealer to anyone More
