    Eric S.

    I brought in a 2017 Suburban for service due to the electric cooling fan running full blast.... Diagnosis was a thermostat stuck open; quote was $1100 to replace thermostat. When I inquired why the fee was so high, the estimate was lowered to $670. When pressed further, the service writer conveyed that according to the GM / Chevy maintenance manual this was a 0.8 hour job but a multiplier was used for a non-warranty estimate. That's some BIG multiplier! Penske's shop rate is $135 / hour. Even at 2 hours + the part price at full MSRP, the estimate should've been around $400. To put the situation in the rear view, I offered to pay $500 to replace the thermostat. Well within Penske's purview, they declined. When I picked up the truck from Penske I purchased the OEM thermostat, coolant temp sensor (in case that was part of the issue), and Dex-Cool to top off the system. Parts total was $106. Then home to make the repair... True to the GM estimate, it took me 45 minutes to replace the thermostat with basic tools. My time also included replacing the temp sensor adjacent to the thermostat as well as wiping down and returning tools to the box. The Penske facility is clean and the staff I interacted with were polite and professional. The pricing model being employed, however, feels unethical and contrasts with what you should expect from GM Chevrolet Certified Service center, which promises transparency in the services being provided. In the past, I've made a habit of dropping off my vehicles to GM service centers and trusting I was being dealt with fairly. I feel that trust has been broken and Penske Chevrolet is taking advantage of unwitting customers that put their faith in the promise of certified GM Service Centers.

Napleton is located along the East 96th Street that has quite a few car dealers. This is an ideal strip to visit when looking for a car - it's got everything from VWs to Hyundais to Mini Coopers to Bentleys. In case you're wondering, I can't afford a Bentley. I pulled up at Napleton. A friend who was driving me around let me cruise the parking lot a bit. We spotted one particular car I'd been interested in, and she went inside to chase down a sales rep. Out came Immanuel. Immanuel was very friendly and made sure I could check out the car (which didn't end up being what I was looking for). He was helpful, though, and we talked about various options. He's one of the few sales reps I actually gave my contact info to for follow-up. I've gotten one e-mail from him, though somewhat oddly two of the three vehicles were types I'd clearly identified as not workable. I wasn't particularly hopeful that a Hyundai dealer would have what I wanted given I knew they didn't have the right kind of coupe. However, this was a pretty good experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back should there be a future need. While I ended up finding a vehicle elsewhere, Immanuel was one of the few reps I tried who really seemed invested in finding a vehicle.

    I'd give them zero stars, but you have to give at least one star so I can tell you my story…read more I bought a new Hyundai Tucson from this place and it had all the features. The car is great, but five years later it needed a new battery. Not a big deal because five years is the usual time to replace it. So, I took my Tucson to Napelton. Surprisingly the car kept honking when they tried to take the old one out. The dealership finally realized the car had a car alarm in it. When it was sold to me this was never mentioned and the key fob they gave me when I bought it was a standard key fob. So I never knew the car had an alarm system. So, in order to stop the car from honking they'd have to remove the alarm system at a cost of $800 to install a new battery. I was stuck so I paid and a couple of weeks later I realized they could have just sold me a new key fob with a car alarm button on it. Well I was pretty angry and their response was they could reinstall the alarm for $800 and charge me $200 for a new key fob. Bottom line is Napleton is just an unprofessional organization run by uncaring personnel and supervisors. My recommendation is go somewhere else to buy a car, or at least take your it to another professional dealership for service.

    If you've ever met me, you're probably thinking to yourself "Why on earth would Richard go to a…read moreMercedes dealer?" It's a legit question. However, I've been on the search for a car for 3-4 weeks. I was in the area, and in driving through their lot I saw a couple Mercedes coupes that I thought "I wonder?" So, I took that "wonder" and actually went inside. Truthfully, the toilet paper budget here is probably higher than my car budget. But, it was worth a try. In all seriousness, and I was serious, I was intrigued as I was in need of a 2-door coupe and I'd always wondered about maybe getting a used Mercedes. It looked like there were a couple on the lot. So, I tried. Unsurprisingly, the inside was nice enough that I was being awfully careful not to break anything (though the restroom was disturbingly normal and not particularly accessible). The sales rep, whose name I never got, likely looked at me and thought "There's no way." Still, he was generous with his time and in my desire to explore options. While the used vehicles I saw were not, in fact, available. They let me try a newer 2-door coupe to see if it might work with my wheelchair. It didn't. So, unfortunately, there wasn't much chance a sale was going to happen here. I was disappointed as I seriously thought the car might work. However, I appreciated being treated well here and having the options explained to me as I continued looking for a vehicle to meet my needs. I'd definitely return, though I'd definitely stick to a used model. Or maybe the toilet paper.

I love that CarMax actually has a lot right here in Central Indiana…read more I've recently found myself in need of a new vehicle, and I've been exploring several of Indy's auto dealers. As part of the process, I've been to this location of CarMax twice to explore vehicles I found on their website. My needs, because of my disability, are very specific. Unless I try to go to a van (which I considered), I'm mostly looking for a 2-door automatic with enough space that I can slide my wheelchair into the backseat. Simple? Not so much. Coupes aren't trendy these days, and the coupes that are around are either older, high mileage, or way too small for the wheelchair need. If you know this CarMax, you know it's a rather large lot right off the corner of 96th and Gray Road. As you likely know, East 96th Street has several car dealers and it's a great place to start if looking for a car from a Hyundai to a Bentley. CarMax does one of these things I despise, first of all. You can't actually access the lot without sales support. I got the feeling that most people contact them prior to arrival, but I tend to be a "show up" person - that's especially true right now since I'm dependent on a ride and never know when that will happen. When it does, I go. Both times I've been here, I've had specific cars in mind. However, I've also explained my needs. While I accept that wheelchair using drivers are somewhat in the minority, I am always a little baffled when a sales associate can't comprehend the idea of a 2-door automatic. They do exist. When I come on your lot with specific vehicles in mind, simply let me see the vehicles. I got the vibe they felt I was wasting their time. Was this a bad experience? Not really. Was it a good experience? Not really. It was just sort of "meh." Despite a couple visits, I've sort of scratched CarMax off my list. Maybe if I were buying exclusively online, it would be idea. But, as a driver with a wheelchair I just have to know the wheelchair will work. So, I have to show up in person. Once I did that, this place really lost me. I know there are people who swear by CarMax. More power to them, but as someone who needs a little extra in the buying experience this is definitely not a place that seemed to want my business.

I scheduled a confirmed appointment for Tuesday morning (May 26th) and dropped it off ahead of time. Unfortunately, it took this service center FOUR WHOLE DAYS just to pull my car into a bay for a basic diagnostic check. I was not kept up to speed with any updates until I bypassed the front desk and sent a direct email to the Service Manager, Jeremy Ball. Once Jeremy intervened, the car was immediately looked at, proving the department was capable of doing the work, but had simply let it sit. My assigned service advisor, Corey Copenhaver, was very difficult to communicate with. Corey explicitly promised updates via his direct text line over the weekend, but I was left completely in the dark. To make matters worse, the department ordered the incorrect temperature sensor, which delayed the repair even further into the following week. Communication stalled again, and my attempts to call the dealership resulted in being left on hold across multiple departments just trying to get a basic status update. It wasn't until I escalated the situation further by emailing the General Manager that the parts suddenly arrived and the repair was finally rushed through. The frustrations continued on day eight. Once the engine was finally disassembled, the technician discovered that the water pump was also shot and leaking, adding an unexpected $485 to the bill. If a vehicle sits in a diagnostic bay for four days for an overheating issue, a failing water pump should be noted during the initial inspection, not as a last-minute surprise a week later. Furthermore, the dealership promised a shuttle service to get me to work but failed to coordinate it, and later offered an afternoon shuttle back without confirming a definitive time. Corey also explicitly promised that after all these delays, the car would be washed, vacuumed, and returned "showroom ready." This was yet another empty promise, as the car was returned completely untouched. To top it all off, when I got home and inspected the engine myself, I discovered the technician didn't even bother to fill the coolant reservoir past the bare minimum line on a major, $1,100+ cooling system repair. Leaving a customer with low fluid after a total cooling overhaul is incredibly careless. The only saving grace was Service Manager Jeremy Ball, who stepped up and knocked $400 off the final bill to address the massive delays. While I appreciate his gesture, a discount does not make up for a week of structural incompetence and poor customer care. I advise taking your vehicle to an independent shop in the Carmel area instead of dealing with this service department. I will be contacting corporate management regarding this experience.

While I got services completed that fell under the "free" category at the beginning of my ownership, service was fantastic. Once those were used up, the service has dwindled. Today pushed me over the edge. I had routine service plus a tire rotation done 2 days ago. Yesterday, a sensor light signaled me to check my tire pressure, so I called and was told to come in today and that no appt was necessary. When I arrived, I explained to Tech-A, who greeted me, my reason for the visit and was told they'd check tire pressure and reset the sensor. He explained that this is commonly overlooked- I get it. I told him that I'd just wait for this to be done. I waited in the customer waiting area with 3 other people. More than an hour and 20 minutes passed with no contact from anyone to me, all the other customers had been approached once to explain how their service was going, and then again when their service had been completed. So I went to check. As Tech-A worked at his computer, Tech-C helped me. At this point I realized my car was EXACTLY where I left it in the drop-off bay. I stood there this time- instead of heading back to the waiting area- and watched Tech-C check the tires. When he returned to his station he explained all the tires had the right pressure and he would now check to see that the sensor light had been reset. At that point Tech A looked up and nonchalantly said, "I already checked that the sensor had been reset." I sat for over 80 minutes dumping photos on my phone while this whole task took less than 10 minutes? I don't know if this is because it was a no-pay service, or what. But, pay or no-pay (and in this case clean-up from a pay-job not completed properly) the same job should be completed with equal pride and competency. I truly hope no other sensors come up, as I will develop negative suspicion. I am also still waiting to see this most recent service show up in my app. I expect and accept a short delay as I know clerical stuff sometimes takes extra time.. Side note: the indoor waiting area is quite nice! Unfortunately, the outdoor bench should one decide to wait outside is placed under a "bird hang out" and therefore is covered with bird droppings. Bottom line: proceed with caution to TW VW!
