If i could give zero stars i would. At the end of March of this year, 2021, I purchased a 2013 BMW X3 SUV from Coachlight Motors. After three months of owning this vehicle, I noticed that engine coolant was leaking as I refilled the coolant on multiple occasions within this timespan. Upon realizing this, I called Coachlight and was told by them to bring my car to their shop so that a mechanic can take a look at it. After the vehicle was in their possession for a little over a day, I was contacted and informed that there was an issue with the turbo coolant line and it needed to be replaced. This was on June 22, 2021. During this conversation, I was asked if I wanted Coachlight Motors shop to go ahead with fixing the coolant leak. The estimate came out to $1800 plus tax and material. I asked them to hold off on the work because I wanted to research the issue more and look into getting it done somewhere else for a less expensive price. Putting this much money into a car that I have only had for 3 months is a big burden to deal with. Approximately ten minutes after finishing the previously mentioned phone call, I received a call from Coachlight Motors' Jessica Peaslee, during which she informed me that the owner had agreed to pay the labor for the work that needed to be done as long as I paid for the parts, tax, and shop supplies. I agreed to let them go ahead and fix my car after that conversation. Upon picking up the car on June 25, 2021, another employee, Jimmy, let me know the total amount I owed was $919.26. I gave him $920 in cash (never again will I use cash as a form of payment) and he gave me my keys and a copy of the invoice. After this I left.
When I got home from Coachlight Motors, I took a look at the invoice and noticed they charged me $606.76 for the parts, tax, and shop supplies and an additional $312.50 for labor. Knowing this must be a mistake I drove back to the dealership to ask why I was charged for labor I did not agree to pay for. As soon as I got there Jimmy directed me to Jessica's office, as she was the one who originally told me I would not be charged for labor, and she was also the head of the service department. I went on to reiterate to Jessica that the agreement was for me to pay for the parts, tax, and shop supplies, and they would handle the labor cost. Her response was that the labor I was charged for wasn't actually labor, it was parts that she put under the labor column on the invoice. I then asked her to give me an itemized format of the invoice so I can know exactly what my money went to and see if the numbers added up correctly. She said that she wasn't going to do that and that she wasn't going to give me any money back and if I really needed it she would mail it to me in a week. I told her I did not mind waiting for it but I needed a copy of it to make sure I was being charged correctly. She got mad and said, "Fine, hand me your invoice and I'll do it for you." I took a picture of the original invoice and gave it to her so she could correct it and once it was in her hand she said she didn't feel like doing it anymore, refused to give me the invoice back, and said that they covered some of the parts and some of the labor and that's all they were going to do. She then ordered me to get out of her office. I calmly walked down the stairs as she followed me and screamed out that they already discounted the price. She told me that I'm never happy and have to get out. Once I got downstairs, I explained the situation to the other employee, Jimmy, that when I agreed for them to do the service I agreed to pay for parts, tax, and shop supplies and not labor. I then left to be respectful and not prolong the commotion. Along with all that, the invoice isn't correct!!! On the top it says shop supplies- $25 but on the bottom $45? I contacted the dmv and they expressed their concern and agreed about the invoice not adding up but since i didn't have it in writing what they promised to charge they couldn't legally do anything. After thinking about it for a few months i decided to post my experience because not one person from coachlight tried to contact me for a refund. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS DEALERSHIP!!! Get a quality car somewhere else!!!! read more
