South Hills Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT

BUYERS BEWARE. We recently purchased as new / used car here. Our salesman Mitch DeVincentis was nice and friendly to work with. However, after getting in the car to go home I noticed it needed windshield washer fluid, or so the alert on the dashboard showed. It was full, so I assumed a bad sensor. I took it back to have them look at it and confirmed a bad sensor that they wanted around $250 to fix as it wasn’t under warranty. Something they should have caught doing any vehicle inspection prior to selling it, and something I shouldn't have assumed it was them being lazy and not filling the windshield washer fluid. The fluid was low, but after I filled it up the alert stayed on.

I just found out that the service center won't work on cars that are over 10 years old - at least that was what I was told when I took my 2013 Dodge Dart in for service today. I purchased my Dart on 12/23/13 and I've exceeded the 10 year limit by 2 months and 7 days. There are still plenty of Darts on the road that are under 10 years old, so they must still have the equipment and expertise to solve my problem. My Dart is telling me that the ABS system needs to be services and it was my thought that the dealership would be the best place to do that. Evidently not this one. This policy sounds to me like more of a business decision favoring the maximization of profit rather than of customer satisfaction. I was pleased with the the work they did a couple years ago when they replaced my thermostat. I guess it's a good thing that it happened before the vehicle reached 10 years of age. When asked what they recommended that I do, I was told to take it to another dealer. I am doing so, but it is considerably more inconvenient to do so. I'm sure the policy isn't the service manager's, but he was a bit brusque and unsympathetic about it.
