Bottom Line: I will never use Napleton"s Service Department to service my 2015 EcoDiesel again! 2018 (49325 mi), Brought my truck in for recall T25 and Rear Differential service, Paid $195.19 for R Department to service my 2015 EcoDiesel again! 2018 (49325 mi), Brought my truck in for recall T25 and Rear Differential service, Paid $195.19 for Rear Differential service. 2019 (68062 mi), Brought my truck in for CEL, code P209E, DEF needs maintenance. I told them DEF injector probably needed cleaning or replacement. They did a computer update, I ended up having to clean the sensor myself. No charge but I had to fix it myself. 2019 (70107 mi), Brought my truck in for recall V08, Ecodiesel emissions settlement. No charge. August, 2023 (124464 mi), Brought my truck in due to significant bearing noise in the rear of my truck. My rear differential had to be totally rebuilt with all new bearings and seals, 70,000 miles after they had serviced the differential!! They refused to take responsibility for this issue. This is a truck that was on the highway 95% of the time and always maintained exceptionally well. $3126 for service. Plus, they took over a week to complete the service. I had to rent a car for $400, no loaner car available. September, 2023 (127259 mi), Brought my truck in for a significant engine oil leak. The truck sat on their lot for over a week because their diesel mechanic was not at work while I racked up rental car expenses. They reported that the leak was on the upper oil pan cover and would require significant disassembly to get to the oil cover. They also recommended replacement of the thermostat and coolant flush, rear break pad service, and serpentine belt replacement. I authorized the maintenance. I also had an aftermarket FOB that I wanted programed. After 15 days (3 days when actual maintenance was performed), they returned my truck. $4906 paid (including $112.99 for a failed attempt to program my FOB). I had to rent a car for $900, no loaner car available. Oct, 2023 (127798 mi), Squealing noise, left front wheel, found bolt which was rubbing against left front axle hub. Had to have my truck towed back to Napleton's. Texted picture of the problem bolt. Over the next three days, left text messages and calls to the service representative while I racked up expense on another rental. Had to go in the 4th day and talk to service dept manager. Found out a technician had not yet been assigned to investigate/repair the issue and service dept manager would not accept responsibility for the loose bolt even though he acknowledged that the bolt probably did not loosen by itself. Therefore, I would have to pay for the rental ($332) and my cost for the tow ($105 after insurance). They had it repaired the next day. He asked me if I wanted to have them look at a problem with my rear air suspension deflating overnight 2 days after I got the truck back. I said NO! It has since reset itself and is fine. There was no charge for fixing this issue. Hmm... But it still cost me $437 to tow and rent a car. Oh yes, there was no loaner this time also. I am a single divorced retired veteran and do not have a 2nd vehicle to carry my tools for my work as an electrician. One day after getting my truck back, I received a CEL, P24AE, Particulate Matter Sensor Circuit. Either the sensor is bad or one of the exhaust pipe junctions is loose. I think I'll fix it myself.

Its too late for me but save yourselves. DO NOT buy a vehicle at Napleton unless you like poor and dishonest service. They sold me an expensive warranty that they claimed was from jeep but is really a t vehicle at Napleton unless you like poor and dishonest service. They sold me an expensive warranty that they claimed was from jeep but is really a third party scam that only works (or doesnt) at Napleton and you have to go through a claims process hassle. Combined with their poor service makes the warranty worthless. For example, I had the seat back mechanism break on me and took it to the dealer. The service advisors told me I needed an appointment and they would need the vehicle for 3 days to take the seat apart and "figure it out". Took it to Arrigo where they told me it was a common problem that they could fix easy but of course the warranty couldn't be used there.😖. And another thing, why don't the mechanics have their own lugnut wrench socket instead of using yours and not putting it back? Two times they had me drive back to the dealership to get it back. Big fat👎👎👎👎👎 More

I don’t write reviews but the poor quality and customer service of this company warrants the Time...My wife went to Napleton to get her tires rotated and the dealership was unable to balance the tires corr service of this company warrants the Time...My wife went to Napleton to get her tires rotated and the dealership was unable to balance the tires correctly. I ended up going to the dealership with her after the second time they were unable to balance the tires and witnessed the rudeness and incompetence of the dealer staff first hand. They talked down to my wife and we’re unable to correct a basic service (balancing tires...). I cannot say enough about the poor quality and poor customer service of this company. 🤢 please do not give this company your business. They seemingly talk down to women and are not competent mechanics. More
