Been a customer since 2005 and have purchased my last 4 new vehicles from them. Sales and service at one time was excellent and I would recommend them to all of my friends. BUT Times have changed and now I new vehicles from them. Sales and service at one time was excellent and I would recommend them to all of my friends. BUT Times have changed and now I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. Why? I just ran into a situation with one of my vehicles, a 2011 Dodge Caliber that I purchased from them brand new. When I bought it, I also purchased a LIFETIME warranty that has paid for itself several times over. I have had the entire AC system rebuilt on it, one motor replacement and 2 transmission replacement to date. Each time, a $100 deductible. Never an issue getting it in to be looked at and fixed until recently. The transmission is overheating and it needs to be replaced again. No big deal, right? WRONG!! I bring it in and had a recording of the car sitting on the highway with the transmission overheat light on and you could hear my revving the engine with NO movement. The service writer asked me if I had made an appointment to bring in the car and I said "NO". I was then told that it would take 2 weeks BEFORE the could run a diagnostic on the problem and if they determined that it would have to be replaced, it could take up to a month to 2 months to complete. So, I left the car and the next day I called the Service Manager and left him a voicemail. I never hear back, so the day after I called the service center again and just happened to be talking to the service writer from the day I had dropped off my car. She ran down the service manager and he called me and said they only have one person doing transmissions and they already have more than 10 vehicles being worked on and that the situation was the same as what the service write had said and it could take up to 2 months to get it back. He said, the only other solution is to take it somewhere else to get it worked on. Now, I say "Is this how you treat a 19 year customer?" To sling a line saying only one person can work on it is insulting considering I know at least 4 mechanics and a few of the dales people at that dealership and they all say that there is lots of mechanics there that can change out a CVT transmission because they cannot be rebuilt. Sorry to say, I am done with Landers McClarty if they are going to treat their customers like this and feed them lines like that. I guess they figured they were just dealing with an idiot and did not realize that I have been working on cars myself for over 40 years..... I will NEVER EVER Recommend them to anyone again. Go to the Arab dealership because they don't treat their customers this way More
