I brought my car in on Monday with an appointment at 1030am (to give them kudos, I was able to make the appointment that same morning). I was told, both over the phone and in-person, that the diagnostics would take up to two day. Given that I have two small children, I made plans so we could get around (school, sports practices, groceries, etc) for those two days with the understanding that it MIGHT take longer depending on the services that needed to get done. I had heard nothing by Wednesday around 9am so my husband called and they told him they were still running diagnostics on the problem but that they had done all 12 recalls and that they would call back before the 48 hour mark. They didn't call back. I called back at 12pm that Wednesday and they said they still didn't have the diagnostics done, that they were STILL working on the recalls, and that they would call back. We got a call back at 4pm telling us they would need more time for the recalls and diagnostics and that they would need to keep the car for another day. At this point the car has been there for 2.5 days and they still couldn't tell us what was wrong with it. I scrambled to get a loaner car for another day.
On Thursday, they finally sent the diagnostics which only included oil change, tire change, filter change and a bunch of other maintenance things that had nothing to do with why we brought the car in. In addition, they needed the car for another day to fix one last recall. At this point we pick up the car and said we'd be back next Tuesday so they can do the recall. They did waive the diagnostics because it took longer than 48 hrs per the ad on the website below.
We took our car in for two reasons, which I stated both in-person and over the phone when I dropped of the car off on Monday. The urgent one was that the gear knob kept locking and wouldn't let us drive the car. On two occasions, within a week of each other, we got stuck either at school drop off or before heading to school. The second reason was that our phones were not being read by the computer so that we could use navigation systems, car play, etc. - the phones would only charge.
In their diagnostic report, they stated that the problem could not be replicated. So they thought the recalls had fixed everything. When we pick up the car, the gear knob was working fine but the computer was still not reading the phones.
When I took my car back in on Tuesday, for the last recall, I asked about the phone and they said they had only checked that the phone charged. They NEVER checked if the car was reading the phone so we could use the CarPlay (navigation, music, etc). They then stated that if I wanted to get that checked out, THEY WOULD NEED TO RUN ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC THAT WOULD COST $275! They lied about having finished the recalls, they lied about running the diagnostics, and they lied about the timeline.
I ACTIVELY DISCOURAGE anyone from going to Mossy Chrysler. read more
