I challenge any other repair service to show up on a day off to drop a full tank of gas and replace the pump faster than the shop manual calls for. I have been an industrial mechanic 20 plus years and admit to having a few tools..somewhere in with the shoes.

They called the next day wanting to know if we had spare keys, because they locked mine in the car. Then they went suspiciously radio-silent, so I called them after the weekend. "Oh, we think we know what the problem is," they tell me, "but when we tried to test it, we fried your computer. I'm trying to find one for it now. Might be a day or two." So I gave them three days and called for an update. "Well," she tells me, "the computer is in but we can't program all of it. We are getting ready to take it down to the Dodge dealership and get it programmed. Then we can get it back here and fix it. Should be done this afternoon. I'll call you." So I call them four days later, and some random dude answers the phone and tells me, "Oh, yeah he's out road testing right now. Let me just, let me, oh, he's back and under the hood, but the phone won't reach that far so I can't ask him about it. We will call you back in about 20 minutes." So 2 hours later I text my husband and suggest I'm sick of getting jerked around and maybe HE should call the guy and see if HE can get an answer. He decides to drop in and visit instead. "What's the deal with the car?" he asks. "I dunno. Had some other things come up," answers the mechanic. The conversation went quickly downhill from there, but eventually it was determined my car would be done within 24 hours. So they call me today (who knew? I guess their phone IS capable of dialing out!) and tell me my car is done. Since we both get home late from work, my father-in-law picks it up for me and we go to his house after work. "The key on the ring is your new key," he tells me. "The old key on the other thing only unlocks the door, but won't start it any more." Somewhat skeptical about this greeting, I go check to make sure my fob still works- golden. Which suddenly makes me wonder about the usefulness of the spare keys that came with the car. But I digress. "As long as the friggin AC works all the time," I decide. "That's all I care about." "Meh," he answers. "Didn't seem that great to me." I get in my car, inspect my receipt, start it up and head down the road, squinting into the lukewarm breeze blasting out of my dash, trying to remember how to program my stereo. Home is approaching, and my breeze remains indistinguishable from the air outside my window. I swing wide and add a couple miles to the trip. You know, in case for some reason it takes a little longer to start working. 10 minutes later, I sit in the driveway staring dumbfound but disturbingly not disbelieving at the dash of my car, blowing balmy air at my face like a Florida summer breeze. It no longer even gets cold the first few minutes. Just... just nothin. 12 days they had my car. A new key, a new computer, two new switches, a fresh batch of freon (it was full when I dropped it off) and a bonus fee for "evacuate and recharge AC to change switch" and now I have even LESS air conditioning than I had to begin with. So if ever you're in Blackfoot, Idaho, and you have car problems, don't take it to Danny's Auto. They'll keep it 2 weeks, break shit that ain't broke, never call you back, charge you a couple hundred bucks, and not even road test the fucking thing and make sure it *actually* works before they give it back. UPDATE: They are refunding my money. I'll take it somewhere to get fixed.

I was told they didn't believe it was covered under warranty and that they couldn't fix it. No alternatives or solutions were offered to me at that time. Wanting a second opinion, I took my vehicle to another Chevy dealership in Rexburg. Within 10 minutes, they confirmed the issue is absolutely covered under warranty and are now taking care of the repair. After that, I called back to Smith Chevy and was then told they don't handle those repairs in-house and send them to Young Auto Body. This was never mentioned during my original visit. If it had been, it would have saved me time and frustration. To make matters worse, the manager I spoke with was dismissive and came across as rude when I tried to clarify the situation. I expect better communication, transparency, and customer service--especially when it comes to something as straightforward as a warranty issue. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this location.

The Chevy dealership in Jackson Hole told us it would be 2.5 weeks just to get it in the door, which wasn't going to work for us. So we made the hour-and-a-half drive to Smith Chevrolet, and I'm so glad we did. Craig, the general manager, and Jason, the repair specialist, were fantastic to work with from start to finish. They took the alerts seriously and looked at the truck right away, and went above and beyond trying to track down exactly why the engine and transmission warnings were going off. The difference in service and urgency compared to what we'd been quoted elsewhere was night and day. If you're anywhere in the area -- or even a good drive away like we were -- these are the people you want handling your vehicle. Highly recommend.

Let's preface by saying I have good credit and came in with 2000 down in cash. My downfall is I'm 19, or so that's what they thought. I came in knowing what I wanted and what I could afford to spend each month with a loan. I test drove a 2015 Ford Fusion with around 50,000 miles and decided if the price was right after everything that I would buy it. After taking my information Chris went into the back to see if I qualified for the loan, saying it would take 10-15 minutes. That was at 2:20 (the time is important) Red flag #1: At almost three he came out and updated my party and I that he hadn't forgot about us and it would be just a few minutes more. (I'm assuming he took lunch) Red flag #2: Almost 3:30 came around and he finally comes out with the numbers.He told us that they could drop the cars price from $14,000 to $12,700 BUT that since I'm a first time buyer it's mandatory for me to buy a extended warranty of $2,500, gap protection of almost 1,000 along with a few other charges taking the 'great deal' from $12,700 to a whopping $17,140.94. If you thought that was all, you're sadly mistaking. When we weren't satisfied with the first offer, Chris comes back to "save the day" one last time and that leads us right into Red flag#3: Chris says that they have a 2017 Nissan Altima available that totaled $14,000 and has 60,000 miles on it that's ready for me to test drive. Like I said I came in knowing what I wanted so where they pulled a Nissan from? I couldn't tell you. His offer didn't well with me so I declined and left, $2000 still in hand. To summarize I was disappointed. I received a very different offer than expected, a second offer I had no interest in and left with no car. After a little while after my disappointment turned sour. I decided to find out why they pushed the Nissan so hard, when I very clearly came in for a Ford Fusion. While going over the finance option papers I noticed Justin Howard's name and that the papers WERE TIME STAMPED AND PRINTED AT 2:23pm. If you remember, Chris left me and my party at 2:20. So why did it take Chris and Justin an hour to "run the numbers"? Again, I assume they printed the papers and took their lunch break. At this point I'm LIVID. This was planned, they wanted that Nissan off their lot. BUT WHY? I looked the Nissan up on CarFax and it informed me that the car was previously a RENTAL car and had been sitting on their lot since DECEMBER and also had been in a WRECK. NONE OF THE ABOVE CHRIS MENTIONED. If these men weren't in it just to make commission they would've sold a car today, but instead Chris Niebuhr and Justin Howard slit their own throats. If you take anything from this, save your time and money. SHOP ELSWHERE.

I ask and they reiterate that they need to replace the battery to do the testing. At the same time, they admit that they aren't sure if all those parts need to be replaced, but still asked for me to approve the work. I authorize the battery change and testing on their online app assuming that they'd replace the battery and we could continue with the testing... I did NOT approve the part replacements because they made it very clear that they weren't sure what needed to be replaced. A week later, I've heard nothing, so I text them back.

Yes it was sitting on their lot, but they chose to sell it without the title in hand. While waiting, with a mutually signed PO (a legal document), we learned they had sold the vehicle to another party. Not only is this potentially illegal, it is downright shady. I would avoid this dealer at all costs since they don't play by the same rules they ask you to play by. Very disappointed in the entire experience.

I am absolutely appalled by the way my daughter and her husband were treated at Wackerli Auto. I…read morehave never seen a business operate with such a total lack of integrity. My family was incredibly serious about buying a car from them. They drove 45 minutes to test drive it the evening before, and her husband even missed work to make it happen. They had a formal appointment scheduled for 3 PM the following day with Teagan and were so committed that they sold their own vehicle that same night to make sure they were ready to finalize the purchase. They showed up early the next morning at 9:30 AM to finalize everything and start discussing the down payment. They stepped away for maybe 20 or 30 minutes to decide if they were going to pay in full or finance a portion of it, but when they walked back in, they were told the car had been sold right out from under them. This was hours before their actual appointment and while they were literally in the middle of the transaction. The level of dishonesty is just staggering. We found out an employee tipped off another staff member that the car was about to sell, and that guy swooped in to buy it for his girlfriend. The stories we got kept changing. First it was a walk in, then it was another appointment, then it was a relative. The buyer wasn't even at the dealership when my kids got back, yet they were told they were out of luck. I personally spoke on the phone with Chris, the manager on duty, and he actually admitted the dealership was in the wrong. He acknowledged they messed up by not giving a courtesy call and for not honoring the 3 PM appointment. Chris also claimed he was recording the entire incident and our phone call. I want copies of the video recordings from the floor and the audio from that call. If there's nothing to hide, show the footage of your staff lying to this couple while they were standing right there trying to give you their business. What makes this even more heartless is that my daughter is in the middle of nursing school, and now they have the added stress of hunting for a new car after being completely taken advantage of. They held up their end of the deal but the dealership didn't. When they tried to resolve this, Teagan was dismissive, and Chris and Giovanni were unhelpful and had the audacity to try and blame my children for the dealership's own lack of ethics. Chris told me he would talk to Tyler, the general manager, but he refused to even tell my kids who the general manager was when they were there in person, and he wouldn't give us a phone number for him either. He also explicitly told us that Steve Wackerli wouldn't even get involved or want to speak with us. At Wackerli Auto, a scheduled appointment clearly means nothing and employee side deals come before honest customers with great credit. If Steve Wackerli has any accountability at all, he should be embarrassed by how his staff treats hardworking people. Save yourself the stress and the drive. Do not trust these people. They are disorganized, unprofessional, and clearly have no conscience.
