VanDevere Buick

I purchased a used VW Routan from VanDevere almost 2 years ago that came with a "warranty forever". Part of the warranty agreement is that all scheduled maintanence be completed according to the owners years ago that came with a "warranty forever". Part of the warranty agreement is that all scheduled maintanence be completed according to the owners manual. I have done that, however some of the maintanence was completed by the VW dealership per VanDevere's suggestion because there was a remaining factory warranty. My fuel pump went out last week which is covered by the warranty however, Warranty Forever will not honor the claim because VanDevere did not complete all schedule maintanence. When I spoke with service at VanDevere they said "their hands are tied" - they are not standing behind their own warranty company. I was told to "take it up with the warranty company". I am refusing to pay the $750.00+ to replace my fuel pump when it is clearly covered by the warranty and I provided proof of all scheduled maintanence by certified mechanics. More

August 24, 2013 I have been shopping for a new minivan August 24, 2013 I have been shopping for a new minivan for the past few weeks, and found a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan for sale at Vandevere Buick at 30 August 24, 2013 I have been shopping for a new minivan for the past few weeks, and found a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan for sale at Vandevere Buick at 300 W. Market St. in Akron, OH that I was very interested in purchasing. I contacted the dealership via their website around 9am on Thursday, 8/22, and had a chat session with Kristi Stevens, a Customer Care agent at Vandevere. I told her specifically which vehicle I wanted to see, and she informed me that it was available and she would put me on the "VIP" list to see it in person. I told her I would be traveling over an hour to come see the vehicle, and she assured me it would be there when I arrived. I called the dealership that same day around 5:30pm, before I left my home to drive to Akron, to verify it had not been sold during the day. Once again, Kristi reassured me that it was there waiting for me, and I would be welcomed as a "VIP" when I arrived. I hired a babysitter to watch my 3 small children, and drove from Hermitage, PA to Akron, OH with a blank check in hand to visit the Vandevere Group and see what I expected to be my new car. When my wife and I arrived, we spoke w/ Randy Browne and told him why we were there. He checked with one of his associates, Zachary Lawrence, and Zachary told Randy and us that the car was "missing". They have had other inquiries, and have not been able to locate it for 2-3 days. I was shocked that I could call twice on the same day I am coming to see a vehicle, have the dealership put me on their "VIP" list, and that whole time nobody bothered to check if the vehicle was actually there. I expressed my frustration to Randy for having wasted over an hour of my time driving there, the money for gas, and the money for a babysitter, only to have them tell me they don't know where the car I wanted to see is. He made no concessions for the inconvenience. He even went as far as trying to strong-arm me into making a downpayment on the vehicle, telling me that when they did find it, it couldn't be held for me to come back and see if I didn't make a downpayment. I was disgusted that after the experience I had, he would try to talk me into putting money down on a vehicle he didn't even know if they had!!! If this is how Buick allows their dealers to treat potential customers, I want no part of ever purchasing a vehicle from any of your dealers. Furthermore, I am expecting compensation for the gas and babysitting money I wasted due to Vandevere's deceptive sales practices and/or incompetence. I spent approximately $20 on gas and another $20 for the babysitter. It is very difficult for my wife and I, both working full-time and having 3 children, to get out for a night and look at cars. As I stated earlier, I had a check in hand and ready to buy. All I expected the dealership to do was take 5 minutes to ensure the vehicle they were advertising online, and told me by phone they had in stock, was still there before I arrived!!! Vandevere has found a new meaning for "VIP", as they made me feel more like a Very Inconvenienced Patsy instead of a Very Important Person. More

I appreciate the no-nonsense, no pressure, kind and considerate approach. Working with Steve was like working with a long time friend, not a person so focused on sales that they miss the person in fro considerate approach. Working with Steve was like working with a long time friend, not a person so focused on sales that they miss the person in front of them. He focused on both me as a person as well as working with a commitment to do everything he could to do to help me find the right vehicle I needed at the right price. As an example of this, I stopped by briefly on the day prior to my purchase and began the process of looking. Steve and I began working together and I let him know that I would need to be at work by a certain time. The next day I came back to continue the process. Unknown to him I had the day off. At one point he mentioned that he wanted to make sure everything was taken care of so that I could get to work on time, specifically mentioning the time that I would normally need to be at work. I was amazed that he remembered. A small thing like that helped me to feel very much listened to and valued as a customer. Initially Steve recommended an excellent car for me, but it didn't fit my price range. I was not met with pressure when I said that I wanted to move on but a willingness to hear what I had to say and find what would work. We found just the right car and I am VERY satisfied with my purchase. Will I return to VanDevere for service and for my next car (in hopefully a long time from now! ) ? In a heartbeat! Will I recommend personally Steve as a GREAT person to work with? It's less than 12 hours since we completed the sale on my Altima ... and I already have to someone who will be looking in the near future! Not only was Steve's service spectacular, but the entire staff was friendly and extremely helpful. Thank you, Steve and the entire VanDevere bunch! Tina More

I had a great experience at VanDevere. Randy Browne was great and was able to get me the car I wanted for the price I was able to pay. I had been driving the same car for 12 years and had never bought a n great and was able to get me the car I wanted for the price I was able to pay. I had been driving the same car for 12 years and had never bought a new car on my own before. He made the process easy to understand and painless. I've only had my car for about two weeks so far but Randy and the dealership have already gone above and beyond my expectations. They continue to stay in touch and I know that I don't need to hesitate if I need anything or if I have any questions. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and the way I was treated. More
