Brought car in for warranty work. Service advised me that there were two issues and that they'd work with the two warranties that I had so that I'd only pay one deductible. They never called to tell me the parts were in. Then when I get the car there, the advisor acts like I'm an idiot, because there's no notation about a bad sensor. They also told me the car would be done within 24 hours. Again no call so I call them 2 days later and now they are billing me the two deductibles. So, after telling me the car would be done in 24 hours, theres no sensor issue and my car has been

For the past 10 or so years, when I shop for a vehicle, I compare via websites and when I see what I like, I email and ask for their best price. I compare several dealers and the dealer that offers the best price gets my business. Simple. Saves time and I don't have the play the games dealerships play. Furthermore, with a virus out there, why take any unneeded chances. My wife and I are buying a new Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee. I contacted 4 dealers that had the vehicles I was interested in and asked for their best price. Three of the four responded with their best price. The only "

Horrible service from an incompetent service department. It is run by Mark who is a professional excuse maker. Had a new key fob made for my truck and they wiped my skimmer so all of my old keys were rendered useless. They are unable to program my old fob. But at 250 I can buy a new one! Mark agreed to take off charges off my bill for $170 for things-that were never discussed in advance. still waiting to see these credits returned to my credit card. My bank sees no activity of a return and I'm not surprised!! Took 6 days to get one key for my truck! At a loss of my brother taking me back

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! Since the Sales Manager (Jim Peacock) told me to go "self-reflect," I'm going to do that here. (1) We went to purchase a Blue Durango and dealt with Jackson. We negotiated back & forth without an issue. I made it clear during every step that I didn't want any pricing contingent on financing, because I wasn't going to be financing with them. He gave me their final best price and we left to think about it. I reached out the next day (purely by text) and that is when the bait and switch happened. Suddenly the best price WAS contingent on financing
