    This is the disclaimer that Calavan Jeep snuck onto my service receipt. Shenanigans!
    Alison S.

    If dgaf had a twin it's this place. Before they became Calavan Jeep, customer service meant more to the team here than now. And I haven't just had 1 bad experience that left me with this impression. It's been a slow decline of decent level service over the past 36 months. I took my Jeep in for an oil change on a Saturday morning 6 weeks ago and while changing my oil the mechanic cracked a component that houses my oil which resulted in me having an oil leak. No one from the service department informed me of any issues occurring and I discovered my oil leaking on my own from the huge spot in my driveway. What they did do though was place a disclaimer on the back page of my receipt (shown below) stating that the dealership isn't responsible for any cracks, etc. or anything aside from the requested service. This statement has never appeared on any of my other service receipts and I've been loyal to this dealership for 5 years plus. I'm a realist and I understand that mistakes are inevitable but my patience is nil when deception comes into play. I keep my maintenance up on my truck so that I remain independent because I'm a disabled woman. I made several attempts at trying to get a service advisor on the phone to discuss this matter and got nowhere until I filed a grievance with corporate. The service manager, Mr. Whitehead, upon greeting me opened the dialogue by asking me, "What happened to me, and what do they call it, Muscular Dystrophy?" He was referring to the way that I walk while using crutches, which honestly has no bearing whatsoever with the matter at hand. His question caught me off guard and I simply told him I'm grateful to be alive after being in a bad wreck years ago. He went on to let me know that the disclaimer printed on my service receipt, is also on all service write up receipts that they do, and that this wasn't an isolated case and concluded by telling me he had several other vehicles in his shop that now have a crack resulting in an oil leak as mine does. This type of thing happens all the time and Jeep won't fix it at no charge to me, and that this is a common issue that comes with older vehicles. The next day he called me with a quote of an amount in excess of $1600 and that was after he'd taken $200 off the original estimate. This is a stressful situation for me now and I still have an oil leak that must be resolved soon. But why would I entrust Calavan Jeep to do the repair, when they weren't honest with me prior and allowed me to leave after paying for an oil change, and my truck is leaking oil? All trust is lost.

    DO NOT GO HERE FOR SERVICE! I took my 2021 (2.5yr old) Jeep Wrangler Sport into the service department because I had been experiencing the engine fan revving, which led to the overheating light coming on twice. They came back after a very short period of time and said I need to replace my entire engine and it would cost me $16,000. That's right sixteen thousand dollars. They said my radiator and condenser was clogged with mud which caused my engine long blocks to overheat and warp. They said because I had been Off-roading the warranty was voided and I would have to pay out of pocket. Mind you I hadn't touched an Offroad trail in over a year and this problem just started. On top of that I am super meticulous about keeping my baby clean. They didn't look at the thermostat or water pump. They didn't suggest replacing the radiator first. They went straight to engine replacement. I then asked for photos of the clog. They basically lifted the hood and snapped 2 pictures of my engine bay, which I will admit has dirty water residue from Off-roading on it. NOT thick mud. They never took off my grill to look at the radiator. They didn't take anything apart to look into the engine to see the long blocks. I pushed back and said I'm not replacing the engine and asked why we wouldn't just replace the radiator first. The tech said let me ask the mechanic and call you back. I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN. Side note, I did notice before I took it in that the 2nd coolant reservoir was empty but I didn't touch it because I wasn't sure what to do with it. I didn't tell them that. When I picked up my Jeep later that day, I noticed they filled that reservoir. I haven't had an issue with the fan or overheating since and it's been 2 weeks. No one from the service dept was there to talk with me when I went to pick it up. These people tried to charge me $16k to fix a coolant issue. Luckily I was smarter than that. But I still had to pay $200 for the dam diagnostic which was a rip-off. They still have yet to contact me and ask about my experience or my vehicle. Tony Hooper at Calavan was cute but only helped to give unsatisfactory service and try and scam me. I will never go there again and will tell my 900+ Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator community to never go there as well. Moral of the story, do your research and don't trust the dealership.

This time, we were helped by Dennard, the sales manager. I was thoroughly impressed by his attentiveness and willingness to listen to our concerns and find a solution.

The parts department, they know what they are doing for the lost part. The service is where the opportunity is lacking. I had a tonneau cover placed on my truck bed. It was installed incorrectly. Now, I have to make another appointment to get it installed proper. The issue is that the service advisors line never gets answered and the voice mail box is FULL! How do you expect to make any money when you can't leave messages or pick up the phone? I do a lot of " I don't knows" when I asked questions. The only way this place can improve is to take the feedback from the low scoring reviews and fix each problem. If you have one department that operates better than the other then you may want to check on favoritism. The parts department have seasoned personnel the service department, has many people who are their to help but not really certain how to help. I sense that if they take initiative or ask questions on how things work, they get the "I don't know" replies. Which makes sense now because they are replying on furthering their training but there is definitely some separation from who does what at this location. It is family owned and operated since 1974 so that speaks volumes.

I had to use the emergency brake to stop on the side of the road. The mechanic it was towed to said the brake line was completely rusted out and needed to be replaced. The manager at JT Chevrolet told me I bought the car 'as is' and they had no obligation to repair it. They called me back a little while later saying if I could get it towed there, they'd fix it as a gesture of goodwill. Fine, the brakes are still very soft, but I'm at least able to stop. Last month while changing the battery, I found that instead of a metal super connector, there was a literal piece of lamp cord that had been stripped on both ends. Additionally, I had to replace two tires due to slow leaks, the washer fluid reservoir is completely cracked, the belt was cracked and worn, and I had to replace the headlights. There is a oil pressure error on it now and it leaks slowly. I've probably spent more on it than its worth at this point. I would never recommend buying a used vehicle here. They clearly just washed it and threw it on the lot without opening the hood or checking under it, at all. These are things that even a Jiffy Lube would notice but apparently their service department cannot. If I could go back to October, I'd buy somewhere else. I just don't feel safe in the vehicle, but also don't feel comfortable selling it to someone else, because unlike John Thornton Chevrolet, I have principles.

I literally had to find my way to the service center because no one was there to direct me. I scheduled a 8:45a appointment but the advisor told me I'd likely be sitting for 2-2.5 hours. So what's the point of scheduling an appointment? You would think when you speak to a service advisor that he/she would go over price quotes regarding market and third party parts. WRONG! I came here to re-align my drivers side window as it had gone off track. I sat for 3 hours without an update or being updated about the status. After I could no longer sit I got a text saying my vehicle was ready along with a final price of $1613! I beg your pardon!? At this point, I'm fuming and looking for the advisor. He goes into this spill about how the price is right and how he just got the quote when I did. This is the most unprofessional and price gouging Nissan dealership I've ever visited. The guy was basically telling me changing the motor in door panel is a 4 hour job at a $225 labor rate! I've never reacted this way in an establishment but I could not resist expressing my frustration and disgust with how I was treated. The advisor didn't even offer any alternatives. It was either I pay or leave. I had to pay $250 just for them to diagnose my car. Also, get this, the job couldn't even be completed because the parts had to be ordered!!! Why wasn't I told this first before I sat down?! I feel like my time and my money has been wasted. I will NEVER use this location again. If you are a woman coming here for services, BEWARE.

We purchased a brand-new 2024 Pathfinder SL in April with only 6 miles. The first red flag: the air conditioning didn't work. My wife had to drive for a week in Atlanta heat with no A/C. When she called for service, she was told it could be fixed and a loaner would be available--neither of which was true when she arrived. Second red flag: multiple tire issues. We've been back three times for faulty tires. The first time, they told us it wasn't their responsibility and "fixed" it by just rotating the tires, so the issue came back. The second time, we only got the replacement tire after a fight--thanks to Alexis (our former salesperson, now in finance), who honored the original GM's commitment. Now, today, I came in for the third tire. I had an appointment at 1:15 p.m., arrived early at 12:58, and didn't leave until 4:15 p.m.--over three hours for a single tire replacement. While Demonta was professional, the overall service was chaotic. Staff were standing around, on their phones, or trying to upsell cars. Even my daughter asked, "Is anyone working?" There's no prioritization system--routine fixes like a tire change take longer than major services like brake replacements. It's inefficient and frustrating. This experience reflects Nissan's reported $4.6 billion loss in 2024--the decline in both vehicle quality and customer service is glaring. Some employees care, but overall, it's a poorly managed operation.

    Review for Calavan Kia - Safety Concern with Loaner Vehicle…read more On Sunday, April 20th around 12 PM, I had a frightening encounter with a reckless driver operating one of Calavan Kia's loaner vehicles--a white Kia 4-door sedan, license plate SCD3796 (tag exp. 2/26). The female driver aggressively tailgated my vehicle, dangerously switched lanes without signaling, and came extremely close to causing an accident involving me and my son. She later pulled into 2819 Church on Greenbrier Parkway SW. This kind of careless and dangerous driving in a vehicle connected to your dealership is completely unacceptable. It reflects poorly on your brand and raises serious concerns about who is being allowed to operate your loaner vehicles. I hope Calavan Kia takes steps to address this and ensure stricter accountability when it comes to loaner car use. --Felicia

    What a great experience…read more As someone who previously worked at a car dealership, I always feel like the sales department can leave a bad taste in your mouth but the service department? The total opposite. Maybe because one side is locking you into a financial relationship you don't depart from easily and the other is a relationship built on trust, lol. I'm glad to say that this was the latter. Recently, my engine light began blinking while on the highway. No bueno, especially as a pregnant woman who is a late in life driver. Luckily I made it home safely and had time to think over what to do. I'm notoriously frugal when I can be, a little impatient and not a car person. I immediately reached out to a previous mechanic who worked on my car and when he flaked, I began considering other solutions. After getting diagnostics on my vehicle and learning that it was an engine issue, I was happy to learn that the possible issue was one that was covered by Kia. Phew! I purchased my car from a dealership (that left a bad taste in my mouth - see my 1st paragraph) and figured it was worth giving a call to the dealership closest to the place I had just had my diagnostics done at. Lucky me, when I called Calavan Kia, Ms. Brandee picked up the phone in service. What a gem. I explained the situation to her, the fact that Kia said it was covered by their warranty and that although I hadn't purchased my car from them, that I hoped to bring it to Calavan and that they'd take me in. She was incredibly patient and let me know that I could bring it in, but it could take 2-3 days for diagnostics and up to 14 days to fix - YIKES! I called around to local mechanics to see if I threw some money at it, if they'd be "quicker" but after speaking to a local shop owner and telling him the issue, he assured me that taking it to Kia may be my best bet. So I did just that. When I arrived, Ms. Brandee was easy to spot - we love seeing women in service!! Throughout our entire conversation, she was incredibly patient, kind and broke down the entire process and possibilities to me. She event brought over (who I assumed was) a member of the mechanics team to let me know what he believed it could possibly be, which I love to hear even if I don't truly understand lol. I don't like surprises! Being very obviously pregnant and tired, Ms. Brandee let me know that she couldn't promise, but would try to do all she can to have my car expedited so that I would have it if I were to go into labor - ubering to the hospital sounds like such a nightmare, lol. I was so tired by the end of process but that had nothing to do with her, she was the best part. I left with a rental and went about my weekend. On Monday, I called to extend my rental. It wasn't easy to get in touch with her directly because I couldn't remember where I put her card with her extension and per usual, the service dept was busy as I know they are. I left her a voicemail and she called me back within 30 minutes. Turns out I had opted out of their texts and she had tried to reach out to me - oops! Sounds about right, lol. But lucky me - my car was done!! Omg that 14 day window turned into the weekend + barely a full business day. I was so happy to return to pick up my car and even happier to learn that the problem wasn't as big as we expected and that the service team had fixed the issue at no cost to me. Ms. Brandee even tried to see if there would be a way to have part of my rental fees covered due to the warranty, it wasn't possible but I appreciate her for trying. I'm so thankful to her for her patience, amazing attitude and for taking such good care of me and my car during such a vulnerable time. I never aim for being at a service department besides routine maintenance but now that I know Brandee is at Calavan, I'll definitely be trusting her with my car going forward.

From the very beginning, Taniya treated me like I was her most important customer. She was incredibly accommodating, even finding a way to get me in earlier than my original appointment, and throughout the process she kept me informed and made me feel like she genuinely cared about getting everything right. The service team performed a thorough inspection and didn't just address the issues I mentioned. They proactively identified additional items that could have been contributing to the problem and repaired them under CarMax's warranty. I had read some concerning reviews before bringing my car in, so I wanted to share my experience because it was exactly the opposite. Great customer service isn't just about fixing cars. It's about making customers feel heard and knowing someone is advocating for them. That's exactly what Taniya did. She made me feel like she had my best interests at heart from start to finish. If every service advisor treated customers the way she does, the automotive industry would have a much better reputation. Thank you, Taniya, for an exceptional experience.

Once I arrived, I spent over an hour filling out the necessary paperwork, just to be given the keys to a DIRTY VEHICLE!! When I say "dirty" I mean literal DIRT and ick inside my newly purchased vehicle! It was as if they had the car had been dropped off from the previous owner the same fucking day, and hadn't been touched again until they were handing me the keys I couldn't even enjoy the moment of having a new car. When I brought this up to the employees that handed me the keys, they shrugged shoulders and informed me that the person in charge of cleaning/detailing the vehicle wasn't there, and that the lesser employee who half-ass "cleaned" my car wasn't already gone for the day. UNACCEPTABLE! All of this is happening around 5-5:30ish pm, dealership doesn't close until 8pm. Sooooo, after a certain point in the day are yall just giving people dirty cars???? That shit makes no sense. I visited multiple dealerships before finding my car at this one. Looking back I truly wish I would've been able to find my car at one of those other locations. Overall exhausted and thoroughly disappointed with my experience (didn't even including management trying agressively persuading financing through them, KNOWING I was already approved, the price being listed completely different online, etc). Unless you have found your must-have, everything-you-want car at Hoover, go somewhere else. If you have to come here, go in defense up, head on the swivel and please have your own loan pre-approval, cause they will try you like a baser ‍
