Let me start off by saying the team at Camp Chevrolet/Lithia went ABOVE AND BEYOND helping me and my husband find our new car.
I had spent the last few weeks browsing used cars online in the Spokane area, and I kept coming back to one in particular: a 2015 Jeep Cherokee at Camp Chevrolet. On a whim, my husband and I decided to stop by on a Saturday, just to take a look at the car and see if it was everything I had built it up to be in my head.
We were met instantly by Luis, who was incredibly helpful, funny, and a true gem of a person. At the time of this review, he has only been working there for a few weeks--and if he can put up with my husband's constant and thorough questions, he can handle anything!
Luis pulled the Jeep out from the lot and let us have a good long look at it. My husband is an (unofficial) mechanic, and Luis was very patient as my husband took the time to inspect the vehicle.
We weren't really there to buy, just to look, but we wanted to get some more information on financing, so Luis brought us into the office to take a look and get us some more info on the car.
My husband had many questions, and Luis wasn't able to answer them all, so he did the next best thing--he asked another team member who works more directly with the financing side of things to assist.
Robby was so helpful and 100% transparent and honest with us. He explained a lot of how the used car industry works these days and openly answered every question my husband had. He won over our trust (and, ultimately, our business!) by being perfectly candid with us about how much Lithia had invested in the car and what their margin is.
We decided to go for a test drive, just to see if the the experience of driving the vehicle was as good as we wanted. We were pretty impressed, I fell in love with the car, and we decided we wanted to pursue purchasing it a little further.
Robby and Luis allowed led us to their repair shop where they jacked up the car so we could take a good look at the underside of the vehicle. My husband, knowing so much about vehicles as he does, did a thorough inspection of the drive line and discovered a small problem that could have easily turned into a bigger problem.
After looking at the car (which I really wanted at this point), my husband wasn't comfortable taking it home as-is without getting the thing fixed--even with the 60 day warranty--especially since this was going to be our family car.
We talked with Robby and Luis, who talked with their manager (I believe his name is Shawn?). Shawn and my husband had a good long talk about the problem with the car, and they agreed to have it fixed if we paid a little more money upfront, which we happily agreed to.
When that was settled, we spoke with Chris, the finance manager. Our credit wasn't an issue, so everything went pretty smoothly. My husband and I took the time to read over every single word of information printed for us in the documentation, and after many questions (and a lot of friendly sass between my husband and Chris), we signed for the car!
The amazing team at Camp Chevrolet is working on fixing the drive shaft issue this week, and we should be able to bring our new family car home soon.
I am absolutely blown away by how patient, helpful, thorough, and honest these people are. They put up with us for about 7 hours yesterday, answering all of our questions, listening to our concerns, and helping us make this part of our future a reality. They bent over backwards trying to make us happy!
I cannot say enough nice things about Luis, Robby, Chris and Shawn--this team is AMAZING, and we are so lucky to have stopped in there on a weekend whim.
If you're looking for a used car, please consider shopping with Camp Chevrolet/Litha. Their customer service is absolutely astounding, and you'll leave knowing that you were treated with respect, no matter how many questions you ask. I am forever grateful to these guys! read more
