    AutoNation Chevrolet West Colonial's terrible communication 1/6 - They don't answer the phone here, but also don't respond to texts
    Sarah S.

    Run far away! Ok, you're probably not expecting much from the service department of a car dealership, but even with my own low expectations I was blown away. The two star average is extremely generous. I had been looking at upgrading to electric, but I certainly won't be spending any money here. I had a couple of outstanding recalls on my Chevy Spark, so on November 30 I made an appointment for the date December 14. The next day someone from AutoNation Chevrolet called me to ask if I needed to set up an appointment and I said I already did online. On December 12, I got a reminder email from someone named Justin L. I wrote back to Justin asking if I could get confirmation that they had the parts needed to complete my recalls, and listed out the recalls on my vehicle. Never got a response. Unfortunately, my car battery died (unrelated, it was at the end of its life) on December 14 so I called to reschedule the appointment and talked to someone named Angela. She told me she couldn't reschedule for me and I had to call the dealership directly, and she provided me the number. The phone number she provided me directed me back to her and she told me they were probably "all in a meeting" and I should call later. I looked back at my confirmation email and realized there was an option to reschedule online, so I did that. I rescheduled my appointment for December 30. When I went in at my scheduled appointment time, William F told me I didn't have an appointment. I tried to show him the email which read "Appointment Confirmation: AUTONATION CHEVROLET WEST COLONIAL" with the date "Saturday, December 30th 2023" and he said the appointment wasn't confirmed unless they called me to confirm it. He treated me like a fool for thinking that an "appointment confirmation" email was a confirmation of an appointment. Silly me, I guess. It was very clear immediately that William wanted to get rid of me and he told me "come back Tuesday." I told him I didn't have time on Tuesday, as I work, which was why I had scheduled the appointment for this day at this time. He eventually agreed to take the vehicle but said "it will take a little while." I said that was okay because my wife had driven over to pick me up, and we could come back later in the day to pick it up. He told me he would call me when it was ready and I left. I went about my day as planned and didn't hear back from William. Around 4:15pm, I tried to call for an update, as I could see that the dealership closed at 5pm. The phone rang and rang and eventually went to a voice mail box for a specific person who was not William. I tried a couple of more times and eventually we decided to drive over, since there seemed to be no other way to get an update. When we got there, William and another man in a white shirt (who seemed like he might be a manager) were standing in the lobby as if they were about to leave. I told them we were wondering what was up with the car and came over since no one was answering the phone and they were about to close. William immediately claimed that he had told us the car wouldn't be ready until "at least next week." He absolutely did not tell me this, and I told him so. He got pretty combative and defensive and refused to take responsibility for anything. His manager (I assume, mainly because his customer service skills were better) jumped in and apologized and William quickly changed his attitude. They told me I could take the car now and bring it back Tuesday, or just leave it and they would have a technician look at it on Tuesday. When I asked if it would be ready Tuesday they said no, that after they had the technician look at it, THEN they would order the parts, because they don't stock the recall parts. If I wanted to pick up the car on Tuesday, I could pick it up then to be able to use it while waiting for the parts to come in. They promised they would call on Tuesday to let me know the status of the car and whether I could pick it up (spoiler: they didn't). I asked if there was a better way to get in contact with them, since the phone number provided just rang and rang. William sent me a text and told me I could reach him through text, and if I wanted to talk on the phone, I needed to text him first. Yelp has a review character limit, so I'll attach the screenshots of all the texts I sent trying to get any answer about the status of my car. I also tried countless times through every phone number I could find for this dealership (there's a lot) to get someone on the line who could tell me what's going on with my car. I was hung up on several times and multiple times Angela tried to send me through to William, who she said she could see at his desk not picking up my calls. It's a good thing I WFH or I would have been SOL since they don't want to talk to their customers or keep any of their promises to keep people informed. I've heard Starling Chevrolet on OBT has better customer service, so I'll be sure to take any business I have there.

    I've sold 2 vehicles here and attempted to purchase a truck. The selling experience Overall was good as they offered a competitive price for my vehicles which beat other dealer offers. I got a tentative offer prior to coming in on both which 1 sold at that price but the other went down $500 when I got there citing a minor accident on the report which they new about prior to coming in as they ran the carfax report to make the tentative offer. However, we talked them up a bit and they threw in a tank of gas for our current vehicle. The buying experience didn't go as well for 2 reasons 1) very low inventory so not much to pick from 2) the truck I did find had dealer add-ons such as running boards, paint protection and nitro in the tires(?). They wouldn't move on removing these items so that ended the deal for me. My understanding is this dealer try's to work with folks with any income level to get you the vehicle you need. Didn't work out for my but maybe you'll have better luck. 3 stars is the best and worst I can give.

    The before bumper small crack by tail light didn't bother me at all.

    I brought my Tahoe in for an issue with the cruise control not working and the Grading Break automatically activating. Took them two full days to respond saying the issue was with two modules in the back that had fallen onto the muffler and melted some. Seemed reasonable so I had them replace the bumper and the modules assuming that would fix the issue. It took 18 days for them to paint the bumper and get the car back to me. I immediately noticed the different colors the bumper was to the rest of the car and made Justin, my service advisor, aware that I was not happy. He looked at it and said he agreed that he would not want that for his car either. I needed the car back and told him I would bring it back to have them blend it into the rear quarter panel, which he said they didn't do because they didn't want to drive the car to the body shop. I'm sorry but you can drive the car so it gets a proper paint job. The next day I noticed that the cruise control and grading brake issue still existed. So the original issue I brought it in for was still there. While those parts may have needed to be replaced, that is not what I asked for, and now I've paid $3,400 for a vehicle with a noticeably different bumper and still has issues. NOT HAPPY So while I had the vehicle back, I do my research online and find that it is common for the BCM (brake control module) to need some electrical grease or sometimes be replaced. I take it back ask for them to blend the bumper and why I was charged for replacing those parts, when it appears the BCM was the issue. Justin stated that he doesn't know what the problem is, so he can't say anything until they look into it further, but it's possible for me to have had multiple issues. (But the issue still exists) So what's the fix, a PCM upgrade... code for nothing actually was replaced/repaired. They also didn't blend the bumper and when I asked why, they said they don't do that (wtf). Even speaking to the Manager of the service department he said they don't and wouldn't do that!!! So why not tell me that from when I first spotted the color variation, why not tell me that when I brought it back, why tell me they had the paint person ready for me the previous week, but I didn't bring the car back. Any reputable paint shop knows you blend paint especially white (or pearl in my case) as they are difficult to match. To me it seems since they got paid already they were less than helpful on getting the car back right. Like I said about the parts they replaced were melted and no worries if they fixed the problem. They didn't but, if they had done a decent job on the paint I wouldn't be leaving a negative review. However, now being without a car for over 22 days and then refusing to blend the bumper after paying $3,400, I can say I will not be going back there anytime soon and to proceed with caution when visiting there service department.

    Great working with Luis J. Today. We wanted to sell our Volvo xc60. Luis reached out to us. Made an offer. Checked out the car and delivered. Luis worked to make the process smooth and painless.

    Went to purchase a 2024 Chevrolet Suburban from Autonation West Colonial. I agreed on a deal that included changing the black rims out for ones we picked out with the salesman, Paul Nunes. The Sales Manager, Mr. Emmanuel Reyes approved the deal, gave us paperwork (included in this review) promising the installation of 4 rims part number 84802305. Both salesman and sales manager indicated that as soon as the wheels come in, which would take about a week, we could bring the vehicle in for the rim swap. We were told the rims could not be swapped prior to taking possession as they were not allowed to alter the vehicle prior to delivery. We followed up with text messages with the salesman on the status of the rims that were ordered since it was over a week later. We were told they had not come in and to check again in a few days. On the 3rd contact, the salesman which was over 10 days since he said they were ordered, the salesman said he would check on the rims order and get back to us. When he failed to call us back, the following day I talked to the Sales Manager, Emmanuel Reyes. Mr. Reyes told me the salesman was in trouble for promising the wheels and they were not going to swap the rims out as they are too expensive. Even though Mr. Reyes approved the rims he is now breaking the agreement. He said a 3rd party vendor could dip the black rims in chrome. We advised him we wanted the agreed upon rims that were stated in the sales order and promisary paper given to us. We will seek alternative methods to resolve the dealership deceptive business practices. Let the buyer beware, this dealership will promise you anything just to get the deal then back out once you take possession.

After checking in my vehicle, my wife and I went into the waiting area which was very reminiscent of restaurant style seating with multiple tables and chairs around. Unfortunately there was no complimentary coffee or snacks. The did have a cafe where you could by food that looked sub-par. I was slightly annoyed because after 10 minutes of waiting, one of the salesman came up and tried to buy my car and get me to do a trade in option...I'm just here for service. Typical dealer behavior but I was disappointed by it. They told me it would be 1-1.5 hours but it ended up taking just over 3 hours, which I was OK with because they offered a complimentary shuttle to a nearby shopping center but it was still frustrating that their estimate was so far off. When it came time to pay, the charged an additional hidden $40 "dealer fee". Once again frustrating, I thought that's what I pay for when I pay for the labor hourly rate? They also added another small credit card fee. Things add up and it's frustrating that they aren't up front about their costs. They also tried to tell me my 10 month old battery was bad and needed replacing for over $300. Naturally I declined because my battery is working 100% fine. They definitely were trying to take advantage of me. Overall, I hoped for a better experience and won't be back. I usually always do my own maintenance for this very reason but was short on time. I will use another private shop next time.

I brought my vehicle in for a window repair and also asked them to evaluate some body/paint damage that I believed should be covered. Instead of a straightforward answer, I was offered a "goodwill" warranty with a deductible of around $5,000. When I questioned the cost, I was asked, "Well, how much can you afford?"--as if this was some kind of negotiation. That was a red flag. They kept my vehicle for four days just to fix the window, which felt excessive. I declined the "goodwill" offer and did my own research, ultimately finding documentation that suggests Jeep was aware of the issue and that it should be covered. Since then, I've been trying to reach someone in leadership at the dealership for over a week. No response ... I'll update this review if I ever hear back from someone who's actually interested in resolving the issue, not just selling me something.

Half an hour later the other salesman got with me and let me drive a Prius. I asked why the average MPG was only 33 mpg and was told it was because the cars sit running at the lot and it drags the mpg down. So I figured out how to reset the trip odometer to zero and the average mpg to zero and I went on a drive. I drove about 3 miles in city traffic and it came out to 32 mpg. So I went back and told Mickey the results and he scolded me, telling me I'm not allowed to drive more than one mile "for insurance reasons" and started explaining that you have to drive the car for over an hour to get 50 mpg. Didn't make sense, it all sounded like lies. I drove 2 more cars and both of them also didn't get over 34 mpg. So I left and went home.

I called him and asked why they did this and mickey told me they never did. He denied it over and over and said it is impossible to pull my credit without my social security number. I googled it and found out it is possible for them to pull it without my social and I told him what google said. He argued and denied it more and more. I asked if I should not believe my lying eyes because I'm looking at my credit report right now. He is a liar and when confronted with it he will gaslight you and deny the facts. I also told him that I've worked for dealers and gone on test drives at other dealers and I know that the insurance companies have no policy about only letting customers drive one mile. He continued his denials. DON'T buy from these dishonest dealers.

However, shortly after the purchase, the truck developed serious transmission problems. It ultimately required a full transmission replacement. Thankfully, we did purchase a warranty, but even that has turned into another issue. The warranty company is not covering the full cost, and the dealership has refused to step in and cover the remaining balance. Their reasoning was that the repair shop was charging too much--but that leaves us stuck paying for a major repair on a vehicle that should not have had these issues in the first place. To make matters worse, even some of the dealership employees have told us that this situation isn't right and that the cost should have been covered. However, the owner has refused to take responsibility or pay the remaining balance. The truck has now been sitting in the shop for over a month, completely undrivable.
