I started a new used car search in early summer of 2015 as my car was used up, falling apart, and…read morebreaking down far too often (the 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue is not known for its quality). I preferred a Honda or Toyota, but in the Berwick/Bloomsburg/Danville area there is only a Honda deanship. After my initial search in the Bloomsburg/Danville area ranging from new to used to shady dealerships, I ended up at Hawkins Chevrolet. GM dealerships were not high on my list after I suffered a severe service issue at Alexander Family Buick GMC in Bloomsburg, but this was the last stop before having to travel outside of the area. Hawkins recently moved from within Danville to just outside of it on Route 11. New location is sharp looking, but where to park when looking is sometimes an odd situation. First difference between this and other dealerships was Alex, my salesperson, did a computer search for cars that would meet my requirements, saving both of us time. He wanted to show me a used Cruise but none were available in my price range and we ended up at a used Toyota. No forceful sales tactics, test drive was smooth, and they had zero problems with my mechanic looking at the car. Alex gave me a decent price on my trade (wasn't worth much) and price of the car got down to low midrange for its model. Financing got me an amazing rate and didn't sell me any useless extras. I ended up spending slightly more than anticipated but left with a decent car at an ok price after taxes, tags, and fees (these can add up faster than expected.) Overall, I'd return for future car purchases as I was treated fairly, and Hawkins Chevrolet did a good job.

This review is for the "service" that my grandmother received recently at Hawkins Service Center…read moreand the interaction with ther Service Manager, Chris. For the 2nd year in a row, they found an "issue" that apparently HAD to be repaired before passing the annual inspection on her Cruze. Last year, it was a leaky valve cover. $300 later, and they passed the inspection. Part was less than $10 at any online retailer, which makes over 1.5 hours of labor at their $155/hr rate. Highly suspicious. This year, they call her with an $875 bill for a leaking oil filter housing gasket, which they stated had to be completely replaced. This part was between $65-130 online, so... 4 hours of labor? Brah. She has been a faithful Chevrolet owner since the 60's. I remember her bringing home a 1985-ish Chevrolet Celebrity in the worst green color imaginable. that car ran forever. Treating long standing customers with high pressure sales in a repair environment, trying to convince them that there is no alternative is terrible, and on about the same level as those that scam the elderly online and over the phone. I'm glad that I happened to have been home visiting when this happened to send her to an actual reputable garage to get it looked at. Remember that there are other dealers that have the make or model you want, and that can do whatever service you need. Shop around and stay away from these rip-off artists.

The first bill was over $900 and the second bill over $300 for a fuel pump and switch, first of all obviously the van wasn't fixed correctly the first time and then charge us a lot the second time.

You CANNOT beat his pricing and integrity as a businessman! In fact, the last time my GMC Denali needed new tires Bill told me that I could save money by going elsewhere. I said "No, nobody but YOU touches my cars and whatever price you must charge it is worth the 40 years of wisdom that you have." The bill worked out to be $6 a tire more than the competition which is a national chain syphoning the money out of our local economy.

We did not notice this damage in the parking lot because of the way it was parked, we approached it from the rear to get in. We have had the Jeep less than a year so we know every scratch, ding and/or dent or should I say lack of them so when I saw it after getting home I asked my wife what happened and she said she never saw that before and it had to have happened at the garage either by them or in their parking lot before we picked it up. I called as soon as we got home (less than 45 min from picking it up) and they were closed. I left a detailed message with my contact info and no one ever returned my call (almost 2 weeks now). We were upset but understand accidents happen and called to report the damage and work on getting them to fix it. Unfortunately they decided to ignore us completely. The dent and scratches have white paint embedded in the scratches and their colors are red and white and most areas are painted white. We park outside our home and it is Green. Bottom line don't take your vehicle here if you do not want it damaged

I called the shop and they said that they priced it wrong and that was the price. She later goes on to tell me that the price she gave my son was an estimate. That is a 49.4% increase from the price my 20 year old college student was quoted, Why bother to give estimates if your off by 50%. When I challenged her on the increase she said if I wanted to get my son home safe that was the cost. Why did they not disclose the 49.4% increase in the quoted price prior to doing the repairs. She then slammed the phone and would not answer when I called back. This place is baiting and switching and if you have college students in Lewisburg PA that need their car repaired do not send them here. They prey on vulnerable young kids with out of state plates.
