Horrible I bought a used car from this place. If they hadn’t of had the car I wanted in their possession I would of lost their number and never gone back. The I bought a used car from this place. If they hadn’t of had the car I wanted in their possession I would of lost their number and never gone back. The salesman lie and make false promises. Said things would/were fixed that were not. Called back a dozen times and I can’t get anyone to call me back. The reception purposely provides a buffer to assist the salesman in avoiding you. The techs out back only try to make you feel dumb for asking about a problem instead of trying to fix or even just look into it. It’s one big scam to get your money. I will never go back to this place and will tell all my friends to stay away. Also they cleared engine codes that my local mechanic found after he did a scan. Very untrustworthy people and service. Think twice before you come here. Good luck. More
Terrible customer service and con artists My experience with Walker Chevrolet was one of disbelief and frustration. I arrived at around 6:45 pm on a Friday and did not see a single employee. I My experience with Walker Chevrolet was one of disbelief and frustration. I arrived at around 6:45 pm on a Friday and did not see a single employee. I walked the lot and returned to the main building still not seeing an employee. I walked through the building and still was not greeted. Around 7:15 I was finally approached by a nice man who was very new to Walker. We talked about a "NEW" truck and I test drove it with him. I decided to begin the process of purchasing the vehicle. At this point I was told that the deals on the vehicle were contingent on using GMAC finance at nearly 7% or 0% for 72 months but I had to pay $10,000 more than if I used GMAC finance. This was very misleading because the website is structured in such a way that it seemed as though the truck was reduced by $13,000 and you could receive 0% for 72 months. I decided to get them to run the numbers to see what could be done. We began to barter and I asked for a reduction of $900 on the deal and they said it was the best they could do and the only reason it was so cheap was because it was a loaner vehicle. I accepted and proceeded with the deal. At around 9:45 pm they came back to me and showed me pictures of previous damage to the truck and I asked for a Carfax and they said new vehicles probably wont have one. The new guy was able to obtain one and it showed that the vehicle was in a collision and sustained damage to the rear end. They also said they could now give me $900 off and no more. I said that I needed thousands off because I was now buying a "NEW' used vehicle. They then said it was priced so cheap because it had been in an accident. A salesmen named Chris stated that it was not a big deal yet the first thing they asked on my trade in was whether it had a clean Carfax or not. Needless to say I left immediately and told them that they should have told me this at 7:15pm instead of wasting two and a half hours on a wrecked truck. If I wanted a used truck I could have purchased one significantly cheaper that had not been in a wreck. This place is a sham and a bunch of con artists and I don't want to see a response from this business about how sorry they are. The new guy was the only one who wasn't a typical salesman. More

Is it too much to ask for a phone call when it's promised? Our brand new car won't work. Undrivable. We've brought it in 4 times, and still don't have an answer. The wort part is, if they say they will call Our brand new car won't work. Undrivable. We've brought it in 4 times, and still don't have an answer. The wort part is, if they say they will call you, they won't. I really don't trust the service department to fix my car, since they don't even know how to work a telephone. They act like I'm irritating them when I call in. Like being without your brand new car, is no big deal. More

Fixed Price & Above Market on Pre-Owned This is a fixed price dealership where the price of the vehicle is what you see - problem is they might have a price drop this afternoon, or tomorrow This is a fixed price dealership where the price of the vehicle is what you see - problem is they might have a price drop this afternoon, or tomorrow morning, or the next day. Don't waste your time going in trying to negotiate. Complete waste of time. I guess I should have just stayed at home and shoped the internet for the best price? I can almost guarantee that if you buy something here you will over-pay. The salesman actually told me that they were in one of the wealthiest counties in the US and their customers would pay it.

Did The Right Thing I purchased a new 2018 Silverado from Walker, and within a couple days had an issue that was the fault of neither myself nor the dealership. While a I purchased a new 2018 Silverado from Walker, and within a couple days had an issue that was the fault of neither myself nor the dealership. While a lot of other dealers probably would have told me tough luck, they did the right thing and took care of the problem. Ronnie and Jonathon were great during the purchase and I got a fair deal, but I give kudos to Jay Watters the service manager. He really took care of everything, kept me updated, and seemed to really care about making it right from the get-go. That's something the big corporate-owned dealerships probably wouldn't, or wouldn't be allowed to, do for a customer. I thank them for the way they handled my situation. More
Dishonest, Made the Problem Worse! First off- they were super great to me in the service department UNTIL I left a good review on their website. Then it all started to go downhill. W First off- they were super great to me in the service department UNTIL I left a good review on their website. Then it all started to go downhill. We started having problems when our 2002 Chevrolet Malibu started overheating. We put more coolant into the surge tank, it filled up fine, but the next day it overheated and the surge tank was empty. Suspecting a leak, I took it to the Walker Chevrolet Service Center because they were so helpful when I was trying to get my vehicle to pass emissions just a month prior. They fit me into their busy schedule, which was really great of them to do, and did a pressure test. Almost an hour later, they came back to tell me they found no leaks; however, the whole cooling system was "gunky" (they described it like the film in a fish tank that hasn't been cleaned) and they believed it had never been taken care of in the life of the vehicle. They offered to flush it- twice to be certain- to get the gunk out, then the would refill it and pressure test again to make sure they didn't miss anything. The quote they gave me was a few dollars less than what the total came to, so I was unimpressed with that part. I was also unimpressed with $300 to flush my system, that seemed excessive. But I paid and they gave me back my car and said I was all good, no leaks were found. FOUR days later, the car started SMOKING while my husband was driving home from work and suddenly went from fine to overheating. We took it back to Walker Chevrolet the next day to try to figure out what was going on. I had an appointment, and even arrived for that appointment a little early, but it still took over three hours to figure out what was wrong. They updated me once during that time- the first time, they said it was going to take several hours and offered to shuttle me home...until they noticed (apparently for the first time since coming in??) that I had a toddler and they said they couldn't move my car seat over to get me home and we'd both just have to wait. The only other time they talked to me was to tell me what the problem was. THREE gaskets were suddenly leaking and the car needed $1200+ in work to take care of. I asked how that could happen since we just took our car in less than a week ago and there were no leaks. TJ talked around the problem- saying the "gunk" from before was "masking" the problem (though they cleaned out the "gunk" and tested again, according to them, so shouldn't they have found it?) then saying that the problem was driving it around when it was in bad condition (they had told me less than a week prior that the cooling system was fine, so I had no reason NOT to drive it, I trusted their assessment). When I expressed that they might be responsible- at least for not actually solving the problem the first time and telling me it was fine to drive which made the problem worse- he just kept talking around these points. Then he suggested that if I didn't have $1200 to fix it, that it might be good for a trade in. I said I had to talk to my husband, and they offered to get my car seat to their shuttle car and get me home. I'd already had to WALK with my toddler to a Walgreens to get lunchables to eat in their waiting area AND they had woken my toddler from taking her afternoon nap on a chair in the waiting area. I only did these things because they said they COULDN'T take me home before. So they shuttle me home and my husband and I decided to trade in the car...but somewhere else. We didn't trust Walker Chevrolet with our car any longer. When I went back to pick up the car, they brought it around for me and said they'd had to jump start it. They tried to tell me the battery needed additional testing and there might be more wrong with it and they needed to keep it longer, but I told them to give me the keys to my car and let me leave. They kind of laughed at me and shrugged their shoulders like "good luck." They went from helpful to condescending practically overnight. Until we could trade in the car at a different dealership, we had to jump start the car every time we started it because the car would overheat if we drove it long enough to get the battery charged back up. The battery should not have been bad, it was only a year old!! They killed my battery in the one night they had it and tried to use that as an excuse to keep my car there. I suspect they wanted to do that so they could give me pennies for my car in trade in value and get me to buy a car at their location. I got a Toyota and am more than happy with my decision. My husband and I have sworn off Chevrolet for all future car purchases, just in case we'd ever need to bring it to Walker Chevrolet for any reason. (They also never gave me the opportunity to review this visit on their website. Once they get a good review, the service goes downhill fast. I wouldn't trust any review on their site, at least not the good ones!) More
Lack Of Integrity I drove to Walker Chevrolet to see a 2007 Chevy Malibu and was greeted by a very friendly young man named Austin. He was very helpful and professional I drove to Walker Chevrolet to see a 2007 Chevy Malibu and was greeted by a very friendly young man named Austin. He was very helpful and professional and assisted me promptly. I really liked the appearance of the vehicle and how the vehicle performed during my test drive. I advised Austin that I would be interested in possibly purchasing the vehicle but that I would have to have my mechanic do a pre-purchase inspection of the vehicle. Austin went and talked to his manager and came back and said that they could not allow me to take the vehicle and have my mechanic or any other mechanic look at the vehicle. If they were selling me a mechanically sound vehicle why would they not allow an independent mechanic to inspect the vehicle? The answer is simple a lack of integrity. I would not recommend to anyone to purchase a vehicle from this company. C. Hayden More
