Called Dave King and they said they could get me in to read error codes but couldnt promise they could fix it the same day if they had to order parts. kathy at the front office guided me to the dealer when my gps took me to wrong place. Said they would help me find lidging if i had to stay the night. Don/Trey in serve found the issue, bad DEF module. They had one in stock and was able to get me back on the road in 3 hours. Cant say enough about the whole staff at Dave King Chevy. They go way beyond service. I am from ohio but if i lived closer they would get all my service.

Niel was knowledgeable and kind, not a high pressure, get the sale guy. He listened to what I needed and found the best fit in my price range. When it came time for the buy the whole team came together like a well oiled machine. They got me a great rate from the bank and any time I had to wait they offered beverages and snacks even though my wait time wasn't long. I really appreciate how hard they worked to get me what I needed without taking all day. Highly recommend Niel and the Fletch's establishment!

I found Bob Mathers Ford when searching in Maps and they were only 2 blocks away! I called and Allen responded by walking to my car with a jump starter, but it didn't help. He then recruited a mechanic, Doc, to come assist. They pulled the battery to run tests on it and found out it needed to be replaced. They carried the old one 2 blocks to their shop & a new one 2 blocks back to install it for me. Started right up. Best customer service I've had in awhile and they really went out of their way to serve me. Can't say how grateful I am that they got me back on the road so quickly when I could've been baking in the sun all day waiting for help. I highly recommend them and, based on my experience, expect that they provide equally good service for their car buying customers.

My truck had a transmission replaced and the entire bill (less a 200.00 deductible) was paid for by…read morethe extended warranty company. The service rep told me at the time of pickup that the new transmission and work was covered for 2 years. So 1 year and 6 months later I have a problem with a front wheel bearing and take it to the dealership. The wheel bearing and related items that they found were still covered under my extended warranty all with a 200.00 deductible. The service department calls me and says that I have to pay 1200.00 because the warranty company wont cover the leaking torque converter seal. No matter how I tried to explain to the service department this specific problem should be covered by the dealership, they provided several excuses blaming the extended warranty company. Service dept tells me the warranty company only covered 80% of the parts, but the warranty company said they paid 100%. Service department tells me then that the warranty company disagreed with the time it took to complete the work. When in fact the estimate the service dept sent me showed the exact same hours that the warranty company says was normal, however the dealership increased each job by 1 hour to cover the repair of the torque converter seal. No matter what common sense explanation I asked for, the service department came up with some excuse blaming the warranty company. The warranty company said all I was responsible for was the 200.00 deductible, but once they start the work I was at their mercy. All told and at the end, I was charged 898.00 for work that the dealership should have paid for. The funny thing is that the new service rep that the dealership had looked me straight in the face and told me everything was correct. I asked her how she could ethically and morally do this to people and I never received a response. I am still considering legal action against the dealership.

(That's what I expected.) But they are so lovely -- so generous and polite and thrifty (if anything they have only ever undercharged me -- like, "we didn't charge you for the additive because it was Audi's fault it leaked out"). They really go above and beyond and I try to map out my mileage so I'll have my oil changed during the summer, after I've driven from CA. Recently I had to turn in my beloved car ("emissions scandal" etc etc) and I spoke to the sales associate about the possibility about buying my new car in Michigan. I had pulled in on a whim and she kept the dealership open late to help me, printing out everything I did not feel like reading on line, because every dealership in the country has run out of brochures (Audi, print more brochures!). I am not the kind of person who loves to buy a new car. And I have an excellent dealership in LA. I am not totally thrilled with Audi as a company. But between my wonderful service department in LA and this excellent dealership here, I am thinking about forgiving Audi for stealing my beloved, beloved diesel from me.

We slowly drove our car into their very busy shop on a Thursday morning and were immediately greeted by two staff who left a project to help us. Within 10-minutes, they had our tire off and in a tub of water to find the leak. Because we had driven a while on a low tire, unknowingly, there was evidence of side wall damage. We dreaded a big bill and long wait. More good luck: a screw was retrieved, the pressure left in the tire was adequate to not ruin it and our hole was foxed within 15-minutes. The auto repair staff and office staff were all wonderful. They were reassuring, honest and made us feel at home. They could have easily put us at the back of the line (we are out of towners) or sold us an expensive new tire. We walked away with a $25 repair bill. They even let us keep our car on their property while we went to breakfast and explored downtown on bikes. You don't find business like this these days. Please give them your business and respect. Wish we lived closer. They would be our go-to for car repairs.

People and experience, this is a well run business. We are fortunate to have them in Charlevoix.read more
