WOW...although most dealer are not particularly honest, this one is the worst I've ever experienced. First came the bat and switch, then the BS that the price is only good today and finally...."folks like you" love this type of vehicle....to appealto my being black. I'll be shopping elsewhere. I don't deal withlying racists.

I went to the dealership to test a Jeep and a Chrysler. I was given an incentive but never received the award. They then proceeded to call me and guarantee that they would make good on the award and also get back to me when they got a car in. This never happened and another car was purchased at a more customer-friendly dealership

I really wanted to like this service department because it's much closer to home than my old service department in Walnut Creek. But, my recent service was so terrible I don't think I will be able to return. When I arrived at 9:45AM for my 10AM appointment, they asked if I would be staying with my car. I told them 'no,' but that I would be back around 2PM to pick up the car. I asked them if that would be enough time to provide an oil change and a coolant flush. They assured me it would indeed be enough time. They quoted me a price of approximately $300. They then asked if I needed a shuttle and they paged their shuttle driver. The shuttle driver said he would be there in 2 minutes. 20 minutes later, the shuttle driver was still nowhere to be found. He was reportedly at the gas station (more on this later). Another kind employee offered me a ride. They updated me at 1PM confirming again that the car would be ready by 2. I showed up at 2:15, and the car was not ready. They told me it would probably be another half hour. I gave them 45 minutes. Car was still not ready. They then kept telling me "just a few more minutes" until about 3:30, when I told them I had to leave or I would be late to pick up my kids at daycare. Finally, they released my car to me. The grand total was now closer to $600 for services--twice of what they quoted me and an hour and a half past the promised time. There were no surprises in services needed when they first began service, nor where there any surprises from when they called me at 1PM to confirm everything would be ready, so it is unclear to me why services subsequently cost double what they quoted me and well past the time they said it would be done. Based on my observation, they just did not start working on my car until the afternoon, even though I dropped my car off in the morning for a pre-scheduled appointment. Oh yeah, and when I was leaving, I overheard someone asking for the shuttle driver. They replied, "oh, he's at the gas station." Ha! Just indicative of the entire experience. One last shady thing about this experience...I always receive a survey asking about my experiences post-service. This time I did not receive a survey from them--I can only assume they know it's because I would report on the abysmal service I received from them. I guess it's back to the Walnut Creek Jeep Service Center. A long drive, but at least they provide consistent, quality service.
