I brought my 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali in for a recall transmission soft wear update and when I picked it up they broke the news to me that the battery was tested and it’s BAD . They attempted to sell me transmission soft wear update and when I picked it up they broke the news to me that the battery was tested and it’s BAD . They attempted to sell me a new one for $380.00. I said I don’t think so ! It was fine when I came in here and it sits in a heated pole barn at home!!! I know a little bit about cars… so , I drove immediately to my go to battery and electric service garage that’s been in business for over 55 years and had it tested. Like I expected! Battery is fine ! Also he put a 10 second load on it and it still had a great charge!! Come to find out that for this software update the battery has to be on a charger the whole time of the update or the battery will die and loose all the information in these new vehicles!!!! I called Benton Baker Hudsonville service department and told them what I discovered. They said that they had a trickle charger on it. What a JOKE! The service manager called me back as a follow up and I explained all this to him. He said he would review this with the tech and get back with me. Well, this is day 6 and no follow up phone call. This service department is definitely not my go to department. I only go there for warranty work and recalls. I have had way too many problems with this vehicle @ $70 K purchase price. so I have been there way too much!! To much to type !!!! Like I told them at Benton Baker…if I was a 69 year old women trusting the dealership service department ….. she would have said go ahead and replace it. I am a 69 year old man that has been around cars and trucks my whole life. They could not pull off selling me a battery. Note!!! Always get a dealership diagnosis… Checked somewhere for a 2nd opinion. Can’t trust them.. always trying to up sell ! More

I dealt with a inexperienced sales person which was ok. However work that needed to be done really was not communicated well. Not at anytime was I asked if I needed or wanted help with a truck I was not fa However work that needed to be done really was not communicated well. Not at anytime was I asked if I needed or wanted help with a truck I was not familiar with. Navigation was messed up, tires did not match although they were new. I knew I bought the truck as is, when someone spends over 15,000 dollars some follow up would be appreciated. Mercedes from service was more help than anyone there. More
