I am extremely disappointed with the customer service and communication I have experienced with Coastal Chevrolet. My vehicle has now been in the shop for over a month, and throughout this entire process, I communication I have experienced with Coastal Chevrolet. My vehicle has now been in the shop for over a month, and throughout this entire process, I have received little to no communication or updates unless I personally call or physically go into the dealership. What makes this situation even more frustrating is that the repair is related to an issue that Coastal Chevrolet’s service department previously attempted to repair under warranty — and the vehicle was not repaired correctly. I am now dealing with the same problem again, through no fault of my own. Despite the length of time my vehicle has been in the shop, we have not been offered any assistance with a rental vehicle, a discount, or any other accommodation for the significant inconvenience and expense this situation has caused. We have now opened a case with Cadillac Corporate, and unfortunately, they have also been unsuccessful in getting the level of cooperation and communication we expected from the service department. At this point, I feel completely disregarded as a customer. I have been left without reliable transportation, I am losing both time and money, and I have had to continually chase the dealership for information about my own vehicle. A customer should not have to repeatedly call or physically show up just to find out what is happening with their repair. I am especially disappointed with General Manager Sam Bitar and Service Manager Paul De La Cruz and the way this situation has been handled. The lack of communication, accountability, and customer support has been extremely frustrating and unacceptable. I would genuinely like to hear a response from Coastal Chevrolet regarding how they intend to resolve this situation. I am not looking for excuses — I am looking for communication, accountability, and a resolution. More

He answered all my questions, made everything easy to understand, and never made me feel pressured. He made buying my truck a smooth and enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy a truck. He even went out the way and delivered the truck to my house! Amazing! More

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have to give Coastal Chevrolet a huge shoutout for the experience my family and I have had with the dealership. From the service department taking care of my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee to the overal for the experience my family and I have had with the dealership. From the service department taking care of my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee to the overall customer service, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. A special thank you to **Merwan Yettou, the Internet Director**, who has been absolutely incredible to work with. Merwan went above and beyond to help us find the right vehicle, worked hard to make the deal come together, and made the entire process feel easy and straightforward. You can tell he genuinely cares about taking care of people and making sure they have a great experience. It’s rare to find someone at a dealership who is this knowledgeable, responsive, and willing to put in the extra effort. Merwan is a huge asset to Coastal Chevrolet, and his customer service is a big reason I would recommend this dealership to friends and family. The dealership as a whole has been fantastic, and the service department did an excellent job taking care of the Jeep. Everyone was friendly, professional, and made us feel like valued customers. **If you’re looking for a dealership that actually takes care of its customers, I highly recommend Coastal Chevrolet — and especially Merwan. Five stars all around!** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More
