I was very pleased with the sales department on my purchase of my Equinox. Earnest Gehr is very knowledgeable about the vehicle. The only small problem I am having, is learning the navigation system. It is very different from my Garmin one. Keep up the good work and I am sure your sales will increase. George Barnum read more

Unfortunately I did not check yelp before my husband took my car in ( 2017 Chevy Camaro convertible ). We paid for the so called warranty when purchased! This place had my car 112 days Terrible communication no calls back when promised. The top stopped going up and down and the stitching on drivers seat is coming apart. Place looks run down . We had to pay 1000 warranty only covered 600 and supposedly wouldn't cover the stitching. After 123 days of sitting on their lot and them being in and out of the car they did not even vacume or wash the darn thing. I mean come on at least be professional We will NOT return here and had one of the salesmen looking for a 3/4 ton Chevy truck for us to purchase and trade in the car and truck we have !! NOPE YOU LOST THESE CUSTOMERS The service dept here should be CLOSED !!! If not the whole place Jesus was our original service guy we had wasn't even working there anymore time we got the car back No loaner car , no offer for a rental after having the car over a month But so far the top is working Anna the service mgr let us know the car was ready read more

very poor service took my 2024 Equinox for Warranty for my Air conditioner with 28000 miles on it they said it was contaminated i said i bought it from you guys nobody worked on it they charged me 180 for just to look at it and said i would have to pay $2400.00 for a pump i was so mad i will not ever buy anouther car from there so sad for a chevrolet service read more

The only positive is that Isa is friendly. I drive a Chevy spark. Went in and informed that I had concerns with transmission and engine. I pointed out when I arrived that I needed a new terminal on the neg battery cable. They said it would take two days to completely diagnose. On the morning of day three I asked if I could pick up as they did not provide loaner cars and would be closed over the weekend . I was told they were finishing up the diagnostic and would call me as soon as they were done. One hour before closing (4pm)they let me know I could pick up. They charged me 185.00 to tell me I needed a new cable (false) battery (false) and key (not pertinent key functions) None of which were the issues I needed looked at. They said they couldn't diagnose the rest without this being fixed first. Basically they dragged their feet and then charged me to tell me something they should have said from the start "we can't diagnose with the bad terminal " I paid because they could hold my car until I did. Honestly they embody every negative stereotype about mechanics. I had the battery tested at three different places with the terminal as is and was told both are fine but the terminal would need to be replaced soon. Gillman called later to tell me it would be over 300 to change the wire when it just needed a terminal which I replaced for ten bucks. A Chevy dealership shop should have a spare battery for diagnostics. Seems evident they didn't actually do anything. Taking it to a different dealership the next town over. Would take it to my regular mechanic but unfortunately warranty will not work with him directly. Should also mention there was a recall that I approved to be completed that they did not do. read more

Devin our salesman was very knowledgeable and very helpful for buying my car and got me a great deal.

*****STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP**** Gillman Chevrolet Harlingen scammed my elderly parents out of a 2019 Chevy Equinox that they recently purchased. The car was only driven 400 miles when it began to misfire, so they brought the car back to the dealership. That was 3 weeks ago and the dealership has no ETA on when the car will be fixed. My parents do not have transportation to get to and from their doctor's appointments. Fortunately, their friends from church have been helping them out. What kind of people take advantage of senior citizens? The dealers at Gillman Chevrolet Harlingen. They don't even have the decency to provide a loaner car. read more

Customer service is not the best. I've called several times and no response to one of the simplest questions ever, Imagine if you needed help with something very urgent/important!!!!! read more

I can't speak for sales, but the service department did great! Fixed multiple issues in 2 days even when ordering parts in and was decent price for a dealership. read more

Probably the worst dealership I have ever been to, I don't know how they stay in business. The service advisors are about as smart as a bump on a log and the new car sales area is like walking into a funeral home. read more

I wish I'd looked at Yelp rating first. Seems everyone in Harlingen knows how lousy this place is. Took my Escalade in for brakes. Told me they had to order the pads and needed a deposit.? Strange, but with COVID I'm willing to be flexible. Said part would be here on Tuesday. I waited until Wednesday to call on status. I made 7 phone calls leaving several messages. No one helped me and no one returned my call. I gave them Thursday until end of day and still no call. I actually had to drive there to get their attention. Was not interested in an explanation as that opportunity had now passed. Demanded and received refund of my deposit. What a worthless place of business. read more

I was just there this morning not more than 45 minutes ago to set up an appointment for my wife's truck. A young man directed me to the service department to a rude lady there who was wearing a purple shirt, short hair with glasses and blue jeans. She was on her phone I'm guessing social media because she sure didn't even acknowledge me there. A technician walked in and told her that I needed assistance with setting up an appointment. She felt she needed to get back to work filling out a service order which didn't take her long to finish because she was more than sure done with but I guess being on her phone was more important. She asked me if needed anything, and I simply replied that I needed to schedule an appointment for service. She then pointed to another area in the service department and rudely told me to talk to the clerk there. I guess the lady sitting behind the front desk was the one she was referring me to. Which was the same lady that didn't even acknowledge me when I walked in the door because she was busy I'm thinking. I guess one there is busy when they're on their phones or just sitting pretty behind a computer desk not doing anything. I guess work ethic's is not a priority there or morals. I definitely do not recommend this place of business to anyone looking for service on their vehicles because apparently work ethic's is not a priority there. The same place is with the one in San Benito as well. My wife was judged by her appearance when she walked in to try and get an appointment set with them. Both secretaries there judged her by her appearance. It was her day off and just to let you know we both retired at an early age because of excellent work ethic's and morals. We started new careers and have progressively advanced in our new careers because of our work ethic's and morals. If you don't like your job maybe you should have tried harder in school rather than taking the easy way out, because apparently it got you nowhere. I had to give this place a one star because in order to post, but it sure doesn't deserve it. Waste of my time going there!!! read more

BUYER BEWARE THEY TACK ON 2500 in secret costs. They only present it to you at the buying table, after wasting your time. They do not budge on it. They will not remove it. It's bullshit stuff - nitrogen in the tires. Cheap non-crystalline tint. Fabric protectant spray that they cannot prove has even been added. Talked with the Manager on this. Just don't try it. It's bullshit. Go to Beck and Masten instead in Houston read more

They're THIEFS AND LIERS!! They also do "yo-yo financing" which is illegal in Texas.They say you're approved from a bank and have "been in talks" with them all day after sending in your information. Apparently they "got the approval" and we signed and traded in our vehicle. Come to find out a MONTH later that apparently it wasn't approved and they sold our vehicle!! They claimed they "did check employment" when in fact they're LAZY and did not do so. (We have proof!) then they come 8 hours to where we live and steal the car and do not give us our trade in back or the money for it. Now we're left without a vehicle and they have both!!! Lawsuits are coming your way!! read more

I brought my vehicle in for an appraisal; during the test drive, the dealer employee destroyed the transmission (given the age of the vehicle, I would expect this totals the vehicle.) When I asked if I could talk to the driver who test-drove my car, I was told they didn't even know who it was. They deflected blame, telling me that it was an old car, and sometimes they just break like that (I had brought the car to another dealer this morning, and their test drive showed absolutely no drivetrain issues at all.) And besides, how could I have driven here in a car that won't even shift into first gear? In the end, they finally offered to buy the car for a price well below the KBB Instant Cash Offer, and since the car was broken down in their parking lot, there wasn't much else I could do. (After they called a rideshare to get me home since my vehicle was undriveable, they even deducted the cost of that from their offer.) I would not recommend doing any business with a company that breaks customer vehicles, then refuses to accept responsibility for their actions. read more

Outstanding service and they went to the extreme so I can walk with my new truck

Being a Harlingen native, my family has seen this dealership go through a few changes. Nonetheless, we were not very happy with the service: Had us run around for a recall part, did not document the oil Change in the national database ( therefore doesn't show up in any other dealership), and customer service was not of high quality ( short answered, inattentive). Won't be going back. read more

I had a 930 appointment Friday morning, 1/29/2021 at Gillman Chevrolet, Harlingen. I arrived at 915 and met with Service Advisor Albert. He was attentive, friendly, very courteous & professional. I informed him I had an appointment at 930 for oil change service including tire rotation. I presented him with a coupon for the same which I had printed off of their web site that morning.He informed me that my vehicle would require more oil than the amount stated on the coupon and the additional cost was about $10. I agreed and waited. The service was complete just before 11AM. He explained the charges which were in order. I paid and got in my vehicle to head home. The previous week I had a left front tire repaired at another shop. That technician overinflated the tire to about 40PSI. I checked the tire pressures and discovered that the left front was still 40PSI. The other tires had the proper PSI 32/35. Obviously the tires were not rotated. I advised Albert and without hesitation he offered to correct it immediately or schedule another appointment. I needed to get to another appointment and declined. This has happened to me in the past at other vendors here and in the Houston area. Consumers be aware and make sure you are getting what you pay for.

One of the worse experiences Ive ever had into being pressured into buying a vehicle. The sales person and the manager cornered me and literally was trying for me to agree on their terms and whatever i said meant nothing of value only theirs. Buyers beware of the numbers the sales person puts on paper this business is extremely shady. Remember its all in favor of the house. I will never be back or recommend this dealer to anybody. CUIDADO SON BIEN RATAS read more

This place is HORRIBLE! They sell you cars & they battery dies within a few months of having it. Then when you take the car because you have extended warranty on it they want to charge you $250 for a new battery! This is the worst place to ever buy a car from there too expensive & they will rip you off just to take your money! read more

Very unprofessional. Bait and switch tactics. Spent all day on phone with them lining up a jeep to purchase. Was promised it would be up front ready to go when my wife got off work. They never had the jeep had been sold the week before. read more

It was scary; I will not be returning to this particular dealership due to my observations. Employees are careless and not practicing social distancing. Service team members are playing around on manual scooters with one another during working hours in the back. One female employee wasn't wearing masks when talking to the customer as she chose to take it off. There are no plastic barriers anywhere, and the service area offices are tiny. Employees kept coming in and out of the area over and over again. However, not one single employee greeted me until I finally had to find someone to assist me. Five employees passed in front of me for 20 minutes before asking me if I needed help; they just kept on with their day. I stepped out due to feeling unsafe and waited outside the building. I will not be returning to this establishment that does not put the safety of its customers first. Fiesta Chevrolet is far safer than your dealership. During this pandemic and with the severity of the new variants, I find it very irresponsible of your organization not to take the necessary precautions to protect your customers and staff equally. I left a message for the service manager on 1/29, I have yet to hear back from him to address my concern. I will also be submitting a yelp and google review and contacting corporate with my concerns. read more

I purchased my 2015 Limited Taurus on November of 2015 and i have not had any issues with my vehicle they treated me very well during the purchase and were always there to answer any questions. The service department in Harlingen is always friendly i always have my car oil changed there and have done so for the past 3 years. 100% satisfied and for sure will go to them when im ready to purchase a new vehicle for my wife in the upcoming months. read more

In 2011 I purchased a used 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 4x4 with the Duramax diesel. After about 2 months, the transfer case went out because there was no oil in it. I went back to the dealership to inquire about the 150 point inspection and their satisfaction guarantee, but I was shown a paper that showed the transfer case WAS NOT on their list and therefore was not covered by their "guarantee". They told me, not so politely, that I could call the owner if I didn't like it. I will NEVER buy another vehicle from Gillman and neither will any of my family. Buyers Beware!!! read more

These assholes always take forever!!! But this time they took 2:30 hours to get my car an oil change AND they scratched my car. The fatass manager right away told me it wasn't them, the only place I stopped before going there was to pump gas on my camaro, trust me, if the scratch had happened before j would've noticed!! It went from rear bumper to front bumper -.-'. And then there is always no managers because they are always out to lunch. read more

I had a scheduled appointment for 8:30 for a simple oil change. Two and a half hours later my car is finally done. And then when I get home the service agreement is under somebody else's name luckily they did charge me for my vehicle but they put a wrong name on the service order so no unfortunately I wasn't all that thrilled with the service, I will probably take the car back there in hopes that the service levels will return to the standard that it was before where they would at least check in with you every half hour or so to give you a status on your vehicle. read more

Great and friendly staff. They fixed my issue that they couldn't fix back home in Houston. Thanks guys and special thanks to service manager

Received recall re: passenger seat of my '09 Chevy Impala. Called Gillman at 9AM and they scheduled the repairs for 11A which was to take 45 minutes. One and a half hours later, still no car. Staff informed me that mechanic not started working my car; but, I could take my car if I wanted to go to lunch and return. No....I wanted them to finish the job. I went to the Service Manager's office to confront him about the issue and he babbled that I could not take the car as they had already started it. I knew that neither knew what was happening. I let them have it and I had my car in 15 minutes. They said the issue had been fixed; but, not before my blood pressure hit the roof and my diabetic body was trembling as I needed to eat. I WILL NEVER RETURN NOR RECOMMEND THIS AGENCY. Very poor customer service, they couldn't even get their lies together. I don't know if they really fixed the car but it states so on the receipt they gave me. read more
