Damaged cars, joy rides, and shady deals. Don’t go here. If you do, make sure you thoroughly check the vehicle and _carefully_ examine every single document you sign. I first came in Don’t go here. If you do, make sure you thoroughly check the vehicle and _carefully_ examine every single document you sign. I first came into this dealership to see Chevy Suburbans. The 2025 Z71 model they had on the lot had a damaged door panel with at least a 6 inch scratch and deep dent from the passenger front door crossing to the rear. When I pointed it out the sales person just brushed it off “oh we can fix that”. For a 91k OTD car you don’t really want a “fix”. Parked a few stalls down the lot was a “new” Silverado with so much mud splashed over it and the tires it looked like it had gone off-roading. If you know the area where this dealership is you’ll be wondering where the nearest source of mud can even be found. I pointed that out as well, but was brushed off again. Regardless of the story behind it - was it taken for a joy ride? Was it returned by someone? Was it driven onto the grass parkway and floored by the same porter that crashed the suburban? Regardless, what kind of dealership allows a car in that condition on the lot? Was it really “new”? I left and my gut told me never to go back. I should have listened. A few weeks later, I purchased a 2025 Silverado LTZ. I negotiated, very explicitly, an out the door price with the sales person and then chose to finance it with a special financing offer. I was presented a form that had the agreed upon price on the bottom line item and I signed it. Turns out that bottom line item said “amount financed” not “total”. So the amount financed was what we had agreed upon as the out the door price but yet I paid a down payment above and beyond that “amount financed”. You can say I’m an idiot for signing it, and I was. But do you want to use a dealership that might pull a fast one on _you_ and make you feel like one too? No where on that form I signed did it actually have a sum of the full total otd amount paid. Decades of looking at receipts trains you to assume the bottom number is a total. You can’t tell me this form isn’t designed that way on purpose. Don’t even get me started on the GAP insurance that you can “get back when you pay it off early”. (Spoiler - you can’t get the full amount back, and did you know GAP is optional? I didn’t!) But hey when I finally realized I’m an idiot at least I got one free oil change. A $3,700 oil change. Don’t be me. More

Would NOT recommend! !! Was told we could not put money down to hold a new car even though it was a 7hr trip. Either way- was working with Ashley for over a week on a new !! Was told we could not put money down to hold a new car even though it was a 7hr trip. Either way- was working with Ashley for over a week on a new vehicle and she told us to give them a call on Friday morning to set up an appointment time to pick the car up on Saturday (as we had planned all week) and then they’d set aside the keys. She also told us there had been no other interest in the vehicle but if there was she’d give us a call so we could arrange other plans to come get it sooner. So we spoke with Ashley Friday morning and set up a time to come get the car Saturday morning as planned all along. Later in the afternoon Friday we received a call from the manager, Dan, saying they sold the vehicle. Absolutely ridiculous!! Zero respect! Please take your business ELSEWHERE- to a dealership that is willing to put in the work for YOU, and not a dealership that just wants their money! It all comes down to basic human decency and respect, in which Advantage Chevrolet and their team chooses against! More
